The Shapinsay subsea pipeline project in the Orkney Islands represents a critical infrastructure upgrade aimed at providing a reliable, long-term water supply to one of Scotland’s remote island communities.
Delivered for Scottish Water, the scheme involved installing a subsea pipeline between mainland Orkney and the island of Shapinsay, ensuring a secure and improved water source following declining water quality on the island.
At just under 2km in length, the crossing is believed to be the longest land-to-land, subsea, directionally drilled utility pipeline in the UK.

The River Corrib crossing in Galway forms a critical part of the infrastructure works associated with Galway Wind Park, Ireland’s largest onshore wind farm, which produces enough renewable energy to power approximately 140,000 Irish homes annually.
Located within a highly sensitive environmental area and adjacent to structures of national importance, the project required a carefully engineered trenchless solution to ensure zero disruption to both the surrounding environment and nearby heritage assets. Conventional open-cut methods were not viable due to environmental restrictions, the need to protect the river ecosystem, and the risk of structural impact to nearby heritage sites.
Stockton Group was engaged by GMC to deliver a 350m Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) solution beneath the River Corrib. Our role was to design and execute a fully controlled trenchless crossing that would eliminate risk to the environment, maintain structural integrity of surrounding assets, and ensure precise installation over a long-distance bore.
