APA GAS PIPELINE ROUTE
DRILLING SOLUTION

Project Mission

The mission of Soil Mechanics on the APA Gas Pipeline Route project includes:

  • Facilitating the construction of essential gas pipeline infrastructure from Leinster to Geraldton.
  • Conducting comprehensive geotechnical drilling and testing to gather crucial data for engineering design.
  • Ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the pipeline route amidst dynamic environmental conditions.
  • Implementing innovative solutions to overcome logistical challenges and ensure project success.

“Soil Mechanics were engaged by GHD to undertake drilling for the APA gas pipeline route from Leinster to Geraldton.”

Key Objectives:


  • Infrastructure Construction: Facilitate the construction of the APA Gas Pipeline Route from Leinster to Geraldton.

  • Geotechnical Data Collection: Conduct extensive drilling and testing to gather essential data for engineering design and pipeline construction.

  • Safety and Stability: Ensure the safety and stability of the pipeline route amidst dynamic environmental conditions, including river crossings and tough terrain.

  • Logistical Efficiency: Overcome logistical challenges through effective planning and monitoring, ensuring the timely completion of the pipeline project.

The Challenge of Project

The APA Gas Pipeline Route project faces various challenges, including:

  • Conducting drilling operations in diverse environments, such as river crossings and tough 4×4 tracks.
  • Dealing with dynamic environmental conditions, including tough terrain and remote locations.
  • Coordinating logistics for a large-scale project spanning extensive distances, covering 580 kilometres.
  • Ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment while working in challenging environments.
