Short Description
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline Project (EACOP) is a pipeline that will transport oil produced from Uganda’s Lake Albert oilfields to the port of Tanga in Tanzania where the oil will then be sold onwards to world markets. The pipeline is buried and once topsoil and vegetation have been re-instated people and animals will be able to cross freely anywhere along its length.
AGI’s will support the Solarization basic engineering phase for the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project. AGI’s were eventually located in the following land plots: Stations (PS-3 through PS-6) and Pressure Reduction Stations (PRS-1 and PRS-2) to support detailed engineering design for the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project.
Service provided in this assignment included the following:
- Rotary Drilling of boreholes, rotary core drilling with continuous core recovery in soil and/or rock
- Standard penetration testing (SPT) and collection of Shelby Tube samples in boreholes
- Excavation of trial pits up to 3 m depth
- Soak away tests
- Soil resistivity testing
- Thermal resistivity testing
- Soil and rock sampling and logging
- Laboratory tests on soil, rock and water samples
- Analysis and Preparation of Detailed Geotechnical Report
