The project in Wörth an der Donau, carried out in collaboration with Streicher, aimed at crossing the Danube River through a 623-metre-long and up to 9.5-metre-deep drilling, where a Ø500 mm steel pipe was installed.

The ground, classified between class 3 and 5 with medium-high resistance materials, required highly precise technical control to guarantee crossing stability, structural safety, and the overall success of the project.

To protect flora and fauna and to ensure a project with minimal environmental impact, we opted for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD).

This method is characterised by minimal environmental disturbance, preservation of biodiversity, reduction of noise levels, and faster execution, ensuring greater efficiency.

The work executed in Wörth an der Donau has provided a key and beneficial improvement for the city, focusing on upgrading the local water aqueduct infrastructure. It guarantees a safer and more sustainable drinking water supply for all residents.

Moreover, this modernisation strengthens the region’s water resources and improves resilience against increasing demand and climate change challenges.

This project reflects our strong commitment to innovation and sustainability by applying techniques such as Horizontal Directional Drilling.

Coordination among engineering, logistics, and environmental protection teams was essential to address the project’s complexities and achieve success.

At CATALANA DRILLING, we remain committed to developing environmentally responsible infrastructure that meets current needs while preparing communities for future challenges.
