In a new effort to significantly expand the French gas pipeline network along the north - south axis, Max Streicher GmbH & Co. has been commissioned to execute several pipeline construction lots as part of the Haute de France II and Arc de Dierrey projects.

The pipeline section "Haute de France II" (HDF II) runs 51.7 km from the French coastal town of Dunkirk near the Belgian border to Cuvilly, north of Paris. The "Arc de Dierrey" pipeline, which is the second section, runs 61.4 km from the junction of both pipelines, starting in Cuvilly and heading southeast toward Voisines in the Champagne-Ardenne region. Pipeline diameter is DN 1200 in each case.

Belgium, Germany and Switzerland will also benefit from the expanded transport infrastructure. Streicher's employees have been on site since 6 April 2013 to realize this major project, using state-of-the-art processes to meet a demanding schedule.
