Project Facts
Client: ADNOC Onshore
Main Contractor: Archirodon Group NV
Project: EPC for salt domes exploration (leaching facility)
Location: Jebel Dhanna area
Scope: Deep earth hole drilling and installation of earth electrode; PVC pipe
Project Overview
EPC environments demand delivery discipline: defined sequencing, interface management, and documentation that supports consultant and client acceptance. This earthing scope formed part of a broader leaching facility programme in the Jebel Dhanna area.
Scope of Work
The project included deep earth hole drilling and installation of earth electrodes, including PVC pipe. The work was delivered to support electrical grounding requirements within the facility development context.
EPC Interface Management
Coordination with the EPC contractor is essential to avoid disruption:
Sequencing with other trades
Controlled site access and work zones
Materials staging and handling to maintain site order and safety
Consistent documentation capture to reduce rework during closeout
“Earthing drilling presents hazards similar to other drilling activities—rotating equipment, lifting, and plant movement—requiring practical risk controls and disciplined supervision.”
Closeout Readiness
Closeout emphasized traceability of the installed works to facilitate acceptance within EPC documentation workflows.
