HENKEL – India’s first Land-to-Sea HDD success
The BPCL Mumbai-Rasayani Pipeline Project has reached a major milestone with the successful completion of a 10” offshore sea-to-land HDD crossing (approx. 2.3-2.4km) – the first project of its kind executed in India.
Delivered within a highly challenging intertidal zone, the pull was carried out from the land side, with the full pipeline string assembled offshore – making alignment control, pull force monitoring and safety oversight critical throughout. Our team played a key role in supporting this complex installation through the application of Powercrete DD across the entire pipe string, with Dirax and Powercrete DD on the joints. Despite the fully rocky borehole profile – one of the most demanding conditions for HDD – performance was exceptional, with zero damage recorded to the coating system during installation. The success of this project has been formally acknowledged by BPCL and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, highlighting its significance as a first of its kind achievement in India
