COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENT WITH UPC IN TERMS OF HDD

Catalana de Perforacions SA offers a pioneering post-graduate programme in Spain named Specialism in horizontal directional drilling that entails 60 hours training along with the Universitat Politècnica de Calatunya (UPC), in particular with the Manresa School of Mines (Escola Politècnica Superior d'Enginyeria de Manresa, EPSEM).

This programme targets mining engineers, civil engineers, geologists as well as any professional interested in the underground works sector.

This programme provides full insights about this technology such as:

• Design and management of projects that entail horizontal directional drilling tasks.
• Vision of this industry and how to reach labour opportunities within it.

The mining and natural resources department is the only one in Eastern Spain that offers this specialism and is made up with engineers and technicians specialised in performing subsoil investigations. In this competitive context, Catalana de Perforacions SA has decided to trains professionals by combining theoretical lessons with a practical background i.e. putting them in touch with technologies and equipment normally used in this sort of works. The collaboration arisen from the university and Catalana de Perforacions SA has become a referent in Spain thanks to its specific an innovative study plan.
