Over few last years, the level of trenchless projects’ complexity has risen significantly. Lack of space for laying the pipeline in order to install it, complex geological conditions, high risk of a negative impact on the environment result in searching for the innovative and technically advanced solutions.

During the presentation, there will be analyzed a case study of two Direct Pipe drillings for the Trans Adriatic Pipeline high-pressure gas pipeline in Greece. The challenge was accepted by the PPI Chrobok S.A. company, that at the beginning of this year executed a DN1200 pipeline installation under the Aliakamonas River. The installation was fully successful. It was one of the most difficult and the most challenging crossing in the history of Direct Pipe technology

Faculty of Drilling, Oil and Gas at the AGH University of Science and Technology graduate. He gained professional experience during the internship on a drilling platform on the Baltic Sea and at the Saint Petersburg in Russia. He has been with the PPI Chrobok S.A. company since 2014 r., first as a drilling fluids engineer, then as a site manager during the execution of the Direct Pipe crossing for the Trans Adriatic Pipeline. Currently he deals with quotations, planning and feasibility studies for new national and international trenchless projects, as well as with managing projects.
