In Riedstadt, Germany, Wagenborg Foxdrill piled three conductors on behalf of Rhein Petroleum. A demanding job that required the lower part of two of the three pipes to be bent half a degree into the ground. On top of that, the three steel pipes had to be driven as deep as possible and exactly parallel to each other.
