Strengthening the Foundation of Energy Infrastructure

Fuelling the Oil and Gas Industry with High Energy Impact Compaction

The petrochemical sector, with its vast array of products like plastics, fibers, and fertilisers, is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing and a significant player in Australia’s economic narrative, accounting for a notable share of GDP and 13% of exports. Within this industrial tapestry, the oil and gas industry form a critical thread, its success woven into the stability of its expansive infrastructure. High Energy Impact Compaction (HEIC), a service mastered by Landpac, is instrumental in ensuring the integrity of this infrastructure.

Enhancing Soil for Petrochemical Progress

HEIC is at the cutting edge of ground improvement technologies, designed to fortify the soil’s engineering properties through targeted, high-energy impacts. This process not only increases soil density but also its ability to bear heavy loads and resist instability – attributes indispensable for the oil and gas industry’s facilities, which include extensive pipeline networks, processing plants, storage tanks, and equipment lay down areas.

Fortifying Facilities and Storage Areas

Processing facilities and storage tanks, the behemoths of the industry, require a foundation that guarantees safety and operational efficiency. HEIC mitigates the risk of differential settlement, a prevalent concern in such large structures, assuring their operational longevity. Similarly, lay down areas that house heavy machinery rely on the ground’s uniformity and resilience, qualities that HEIC significantly enhances.

The Veins of Industry

Pipelines, often stretching across diverse and challenging terrains, carry the lifeblood of the petrochemical world. The HEIC technique solidifies the pipeline beds, safeguarding them against the perils of soil settlement that can lead to ruptures or leaks, thus ensuring a seamless flow of resources.

The Pathways of Production

The access roads and tracks that crisscross the oil and gas fields are pivotal for the movement of heavy vehicles and essential operations. HEIC’s capability to bolster these pathways ensures that they can sustain the weight and constant movement of machinery, reducing maintenance needs and operational delays.

Operational Efficiency and Environmental Stewardship

With its superior efficiency, HEIC outperforms traditional compaction methods, allowing for the compaction of larger areas to greater depths in less time, leading to significant savings in time and resources. Beyond efficiency, HEIC embodies environmental stewardship. By ensuring the structural integrity of the oil and gas infrastructure, it plays a part in preventing environmental incidents, like leaks and spills, which can have far-reaching ecological impacts.
