The onshore pipeline will be assembled in a conventional way by a construction spread that follows along the pipeline corridor. First a trench is excavated. Then individual 12-metre-long joints of pipe are welded to the pipeline string, which is subsequently lowered into the trench. The soil will be filled back and the landscape reinstated, while the construction spread moves forward. Specialised techniques will be used for crossing of roads and rivers, and special care will be taken to minimise any adverse effect on the environment during the construction.
