The Integration of Tunnels and Pipelines

 
   

MG Bennett & Associates Limited has worked in the fields of tunnelling and pipelines as both consultants and detail design engineers for many years. As a consequence, they are well placed to integrate the requirements of both sectors into a single package.

Tunnelling


Within the tunnelling field, Bennett Associates have undertaken many projects as the designers of bespoke equipment including:

Back-up equipment design for the Channel Tunnel
Back-up equipment design for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link
Tunnelling and shaft handling equipment for the London Ring Main

Pipeline Design and Pipe Handling


With respect to pipeline design, Bennett Associates have undertaken the design of pipe work for steam, oil, water and gas for both chemical plants and power stations. In addition, work has been undertaken on the design of horizontal drilled pipelines to include both the design of the pipeline and the installation equipment.

In terms of pipe handling, Bennett Associates have been involved with the design of automatic welding machines for pipelines and for overland pipe laying machines for major oil companies.
