Furthermore, in a joint venture with Bahraini marine contractor, Al Hassanain, JGL has recently completed work on one of the largest pipe-jacked sea outfalls in the world as part of the Umm Al Hayman Wastewater Treatment project in Kuwait. This $1.6 billion project has seen the construction of a 6.2-kilometre-long emergency sea outfall with three tunnels and will provide complete recycling for up to 700,000-metrescubed of wastewater each day.
Difficulties were inevitable on a project of this scale, but JGL’s expertise ensured it could solve any challenges as they arose. It developed a new pipe-jack lubricant, for example, which reduced anticipated pressures by 80 per cent. It also achieved a world first, creating a bespoke marine lifting beam to allow air recovery and a precise route for 39-kilometres, sub-surface towing of the tunnel boring machine.
