3 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project McLeod Highway River 16 DPI Crossing Execution Plan 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (the Company), is proposing to construct, own, and operate the Grande Prairie Mainline Lateral Loop No. 2 - McLeod River Section Pipeline (the Project), part of the 2017 NGTL System Expansion Project. The Project will include the installation of approximately 36 km of NPS 48 ( mm O.D.) pipeline. Within the scope of this new installation, the pipeline will cross Highway 16 near Edson, AB. The Company is considering the use of Direct Pipe Installation (DPI) for the pipeline installation underneath the highway. DPI Crossing Details Detail Description Legal Location NW W5M SW W5M KP Drawing Reference ML Estimated Length (m) 217 Anticipated Mud/Drilling Fluid Volume to be Disposed (m 3 ) Drilling Fluid: 52 Solid Spoil: 356 For reference on Direct Pipe, see Appendix 1, Direct Pipe methodology statement 2. SCHEDULE Construction of the project is shown in Appendix 2. Actual start and end dates will be confirmed after permits approval and site preparation. IPC will mobilize directly to site, during the site preparation phase. Once site preparation is complete, IPC s equipment installation will take place to be ready to commence drilling. Drilling operations are expected to take 4 days. Site preparation, equipment installation, and demobilization are based on a 10 hour/day on site, 6-day/week schedule, while drilling operation will be based on a 24/7 schedule. 3. ACCESS AND WORK PADS IPC will provide site layout requirements for the direct pipe installation. The layout drawings include entry pit dimensions, IPC equipment locations, workspace required, including rig matting, and internals installation position. The access to the site will be on designated roads on the designed plan as set out by NGTL. All access points will be constructed for safe all weather access for IPC crews and equipment. The site layout will be developed as per IPC s site layout drawings. Novembre 22, 2016 Page 3 of 128 1

4 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project McLeod Highway River 16 DPI Crossing Execution Plan 4. STEERING PLAN The Highway 16 Direct Pipe crossing will be steered via gyro navigation system (U.N.S), (see appendix 6) which is installed inside the control container, along the proposed drill path. The north-seeking gyrocompass, which is firmly installed in the tunnel-boring machine, determines the north direction related to the machine axis. On the basis of dead reckoning, the current machine position is calculated. An electronic hose water level, which is integrated in the system, permanently delivers height values via a reference sensor installed in the start shaft and a height sensor installed in the tunnel boring machine. These height results are temperature-dependent and are not subject to laser refraction. The results are transferred to an industrial PC and displayed on the screen. Gyro Compass Accuracy toward magnetic north, gyro compass: NORTHSTAR 24 Pitch max. permissible range ± 90 Roll max. permissible range ± 90 +/- 2 mrad 1mm/m 1mm/m Technical data Input voltage: Degree of protection: 24 V DC ±6 V, 60W IP68 Operating temperature: -10 to +60 C Interfaces Dimensions (LxWxH) TTY and Profibus- DP 480 x 210 x 220 mm The accuracy of the gyrocompass is dependant on the number of control surveys. For the Highway 16 crossing, 1 control survey on this crossing length is estimated to give an accuracy within 50cm 5. DIRECT PIPE INSTALLATION DIRECT PIPE EXECUTION PLAN as: 24 October 2016 Innovative Pipeline Crossings Inc. (IPC) is pleased to submit the following Execution Plan for the Highway 16 Crossing on the GPML Loop No. 2 McLeod River Section. The following pages will describe as detailed as possible by this stage, the step by step execution of the scheduled crossing. A corresponding project schedule is attached to this paper.

14 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project General Method Statement The DIRECT PIPE method is a trenchless pipe-laying method which contains the fabrication of a subterraneous cylindrical hole in the ground through simultaneous excavation and installation of a prefabricated pipeline within the pipes allowable bending radius for the whole crossing section. The DIRECT PIPE method can be applied for crossings with the possibility of pipe assembly in full length or parts on at least one side of the crossing and drilling the pipe with the sloped direction of the entry pit. The DIRECT PIPE method combines the advantages of the well-established construction methods - Microtunneling and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). By this method the pipeline is laid in one single working step without using additional protection pipes or large-volume hydraulic borehole supporting media (see Figure 1.01). Figure General illustration of a river crossing using the DIRECT PIPE method with the essential system components jacking-machine, pipeline and Pipe Thruster. [Herrenknecht AG] Unlike the present pipe jacking method, the jacking force of the excavation machine is not applied in short pipe sections from a starting pit. Instead, the jacking force is applied via a Pipe Thruster (Hydraulic pushing equipment) onto the pipe to be driven which is laid on a launching way in the appropriate length or in parts like in the HDD or bottom pull method. Novembre 22, 2016 Page 14 of 128 2

15 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project The Pipe Thruster works like a tensioner known from offshore pipe and cable installation. The force developed via the hydraulic cylinders is transmitted onto the pipe by friction through the pipe clamp, and therefore the pipe coating is not damaged. The Pipe Thruster is safely anchored in the ground by appropriate construction. The Pipe Thruster will push the microtunnel boring machine (MTBM) and attached pipe through the launch seal into the ground. The pipeline transmits the essential jacking force for the drilling process. The connection lines, which are essential for supplying the MTBM, will be led through the pipe before starting the tunnelling process and connected via flexible cables to the appropriate supply and steering equipment. This supply and equipment will include a steering controls, power supply, Slurry systems and mud plant via temporary lines (see Figure 1.02). Figure 1.02: General illustration of the starting situation with drill head, pipe string, Pipe Thruster, steering cabin, power supply, recycling unit [Herrenknecht AG] As mentioned above, the Pipe Thruster pushes the MTBM in sloped direction via the product pipes into the ground. The machine is controllable and can be located in order to follow the pre-determined access gradient. The steering is carried out by a steering cylinder, which is integrated into the machine similarly to the microtunneling method. Surveying/locating of the machine is realised Novembre 22, 2016 Page 15 of 128 3

16 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project by a gyro system inside the machine with an accuracy of a few millimetres up to centimetre in vertical direction and a few centimetres in horizontal direction. Figure Application in a starting pit, Pipe Thruster [Herrenknecht AG] As the Microtunneling-technology is known, the excavation will be done by a cutting head, which is adapted to the geological conditions. The removal of overburden will be mixed with a bentonite-water-suspension, which is supplied by a feeding line, and pumped through a return pipe to the separation station. Here, the soil will be separated by shaker screens and hydrocyclons (or centrifuges depending on conditions) from the bore suspension. Afterwards, the soil can be removed and if necessary disposed. The bore suspension will be reused. The microtunneling machine has a larger diameter than the following product pipe; this annulus has to be filled with drilling fluid to prevent a collapse of the driven cylindrical annulus and to lower the jacket friction. Contrary to the HDD method the DIRECT PIPE method has a very small overcut of approx. 5 cm. Therefore and because of the pipe which is filling the borehole, only a little mass of the drilling fluid is used and penetrated to the subsoil (see Figure 1.04). Novembre 22, 2016 Page 16 of 128 4

17 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project Figure 1.04: General illustration of the mud circulation [Herrenknecht AG] After driving in the pre-determined access gradient and reaching the reception pit, the excavation machine will be disconnected from all essential internal components and recovered. The internal components will be removed from the product pipe and the product pipe will be integrated to the pipeline network. If the pipeline has the function of a casing pipe, the product pipes will be retracted into the pipeline.

18 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project All system components where developed have been successfully used in many microtunneling and HDD projects. The DIRECT PIPE method can be applied for the pipe jacking of product pipes as well as of steel protection pipes. Figure 1.08: Procedure of the DIRECT PIPE method Novembre 22, 2016 Page 18 of 128 6

19 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project Main Characteristics of the DIRECT PIPE Method The risk of failure due to subsoil conditions is minimised A pipe is permanently in the borehole and thus supporting the borehole permanently. A complete collapse of the bore hole with cave-in is impossible The cutter head of the excavation machine can be provided with the appropriate tools for nearly all geological conditions Rocks can be crushed and removed through supply lines within the product pipe out of the borehole; therefore deposits in the borehole are impossible. Very large bending radii can be driven with a high accuracy due to the approved steering mechanism; thereby avoiding excessive bending stress (inadmissible low bending radii of the pipeline) and excessive laying forces Only on the entry side is a larger working area is required On the exit side, only a small working area for a short time is necessary (operation to dismantle the cutting head) A minimum volume of slurry is required and the amount of excavated material is minimized Due to a very small overcut a minimal borehole diameter can be realized Due to the continuous pipe jacking, the effective drilling time is low and high laying performance can be expected Large-diameter product pipe can be laid without casing pipes Jacking pipe can also be laid in parts MAIN COMPONENTS Main components for the application of the DIRECT PIPE method are: MTBM - Soil excavation and transportation unit Adapter/joint pipes Internal equipment, feeding pipes etc Steering unit steerability Pipe Thruster - Jacking and pulling unit Support of the annular gap Separation and mixing unit Pipeline to be laid By co-action of these single components for the DIRECT PIPE method, the laying of pipelines in one working step is possible.

20 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project Microtunnel Boring Machine (MTBM) At the cutter face, the soil is loosened by a cutter head, which is fit with excavation tools according to the geology to be expected and carried to the MTBM. The cutter face is supported by a bentonite water suspension. Harder soil layers; conglomerates and rock, as well unstable soil (gravel) can be driven. To avoid bonding of the cutter head and to enable a direct removal of the loosened soil by transmission pipelines and to avoid a discharge through the overcut a special medium pressure jetting with the ability to change to high pressure is applied. Thereby, the slurry-liquid will be flushed with 7-9 bar and L/min against the backside of the cutter head. Impact and turbulences ensure an optimal removal. The required increase of pressure will be provided by special high pressure pumps from the horizontal bore technique. A modified cone crusher takes care for the removal optimal grit size. Figure 1.04 illustrates how the cutter head can be fit with excavation tools and how the excavated soil is mixed with the bentonite water suspension and pumped via a solid pump through the MTBM and the pipes within the pipeline to the end of the pipeline and to the recycling unit respectively. From the cutter head, created tensional moments will be transfused by jacked friction into the ground. To avoid a transmission of tensional moments along the longitudinal axis from the MTBM into the pipeline and inverse, the MTBM and the pipeline are connected via an active swivel joint. By activating the swivel joint the rollover of the MTBM can be directly corrected. Adapter/joint Pipes Additional adapter pipes will be installed between MTBM cutter head and pipeline in order to improve the steerability. These connections give the possibility of horizontal and vertical bending. The arrangement of steering cylinders and creation of an active joint gives a further increase of steerability to the MTBM. Internal Pipe Equipment, Feeding Pipes All internal pipes and cables will be supported by special steel brackets on rubber wheels. No direct contact with the inner pipe wall will occur and thus damages can be excluded. Since the brackets are on rubber wheels, the internal pipe installed equipment can be easily removed by a cable winch and disassembled. Novembre 22, 2016 Page 20 of 128 8

21 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project A battery driven tunnel vehicle can be mounted on the internal roller rails. In face of the confined space, this provides a secure transportation of persons and material through the pipeline. The tunnel vehicles enable, in agreement with the safety and testing authorities, personnel to reach the MTBM through the pipeline. The Steering Unit Steer ability The steering unit differs from the previous units in microtunneling (see Figure 1.02). A special AVN-microtunneling-steering unit is used. This unit is upgraded with special steering, navigation and monitoring components for the DIRECT PIPE method. Thereby the Pipe Thruster, active swivel joints and directional cylinders will be controlled. The steering unit is situated in an air-conditioned part of a container. All essential steering and control tasks can be operated remotely via the steering unit. All hydraulic cylinders, pumps, engines and cameras can be steered whereas all moments, revolutions, masses, distances, slopes and positions are measured, registered and recorded. All control and steering tasks are performed by a trained operator. The steering process that is executed by one or several hydraulic cylinders is based on an accurate survey. The survey is performed by a combined system of an electronic barometric level and a gyro. Based on the data of these two survey devices, the three-dimensional position of the machine is determined and visualized according to the previously calculated required position in the steering unit. By this, it is possible to drive the required curvature very accurately with the elastic bending radius and to aim the indicated target on the spot. Pipe Thruster - Jacking and Pulling Unit The Pipe Thruster is able to transfer thrust and traction forces in single lifting steps into the pipeline by frictional forces. The clamping unit puts the grip from the outside around the pipeline by a clamp unit and moves the pipeline by hydraulic cylinder forward or backward. By exchange of the clamp unit the Pipe Thruster is able to put the grip around pipes from 20 up to 60. The two jacking cylinders are able to create, by a lift of 5 m and a Novembre 22, 2016 Page 21 of 128 9

22 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project moving speed of 5 m/min, a maximum pull and compressive force of 5000 kn up to 7500 kn depending on the unit type. The clamp unit, together with the hydraulic cylinders are pivot supported, so that flatter or steeper moving angles are possible. The Pipe Thruster is with total weight of 45 to 60 ton depending on the unit type and is modularly demountable for an easy transport. The Pipe Thruster has to be based accurately to be able to transfer the forces into the construction and the basement. Support of the Annular Gap In order to reduce the pressing forces (friction between pipe and soil) it is necessary to create a lubricant layer between the jacking pipe and the soil. This lubricant layer arises if the heading diameter at the cutting head is larger than the diameter of the following pipeline and the annular gap is filled with lubricants. The thickness of the annular gap depends on the present geology and the relation between pipe stiffness and required driving curve. The creation of a clean annular gap is very important. Therefore the coating of the MTBM, the following pipes and the adapter pipes are designed conically to slowly obtain the required annular gap. Directly behind the cutting head e.g. a bentonite water suspension is pressed into this annular gap as lubricant. In the transition area from adapter pipe to the pipeline the annular gap is completely filled with bentonite water suspension. To avoid an uncontrolled penetration of the lubricants to the soil and a collapse of the annular gap during the driving process, the annular gap is measured and controlled in the area of the exit seal. The contained bentonite water suspension is kept on a previously calculated constant level. Recycling Unit The mud plant (see Figure 1.02) is used to contain a bentonite-water suspension tuned for a particular geology, for supporting the cutting head operation and controlling the annular gap. This is aided by feed pumps and pipelines to the particular location. The recycling unit is also used to separate the cuttings into water-bentonite mixture and soil so the soil can be disposed of and the water-bentonite suspension reused. The reusable suspension will be verified according to its composition, if necessary loaded with bentonite or other environmentally friendly substances and pumped with the help of feed and bentonite pumps and pipelines to the location.

23 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project Jacking pipe, pipeline to be installed For the use of the DIRECT PIPE method, a pipeline capable of containing the internal components and cables as well as the pump aggregates is necessary. The pipeline has to be built of a material which is able to withstand the required moving forces that can be created by the Pipe Thruster. The jacking pipe can be a product pipe or a casing pipe, which is only used as a protective pipe. OBSTACLES IN THE GROUND What has to be Done by the Occurrence of Obstacles in the Ground During the execution of trenchless construction work, obstacles that are neither known nor examined may be encountered. For the execution of trenchless pipe laying processes by the DIRECT PIPE method, this might cause difficulties. For the evaluation of risks in case of obstacles it is essential to accomplish appropriate engineering work and develop mitigating measures. As illustrated below, the occurrence of natural obstacles is no reason to stop of the drilling work. With an accurate site preparation and investigation of the soil through the client, the ability to handle a natural obstacle and finish the drilling successfully is almost always a given by todays machine technology. Recovering obstacles in case of accessible MTBM Recovering obstacles in case of non-accessible MTBM Recovering Obstacles in Case of Accessible MTBM and Pipe 56 With a minimum tunnelling diameter of 56 (meaning MTBM of 60 ) the MTBM at the tunnel face is accessible. A pressurised work environment is created in the sleeving pipe and the MTBM. The excavated hole in front of the MTBM is kept stable by the compressed air; the obstacle can be hackled manually and transported to the starting pit. Having this option, nearly every obstacle that hinders the DIRECT PIPE method can be recovered without surface intervention. The following options for recovering obstacles in case of non-accessible MTBM's are also applicable for driving processes with accessible MTBM s. Recovering Obstacles in Case of Non-Accessible MTBM and Pipe 48 In case of non-accessible jacking pipes/mtbm s with a diameter equal or less than 48 the recovery or the handling of obstacles depends on the size of the obstacles.

24 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project OBSTACLES SIZE MORE THAN 3 M Obstacles in size more than 3 m are embedded and stable in the ground and will not be moved from their position by a MTBM with a maximum diameter of 1.3m. So, in this case the fixed obstacle can be drilled by the MTBM and the obstacle does not obstruct the tunnelling process. OBSTACLES SIZE OF 1.50 M Obstacles with a maximum size of 1.50m encountered during the DIRECT PIPE method will start to move in the ground when cut by the MTBM. These obstacles are not stable and can therefore not be handled, driven or hackled by the MTBM, as the MTBM excavation tools cannot act any pressing force and moment on the obstacle. Hence these kinds of obstacles must be recovered from the surface. Prior to the recovery of the obstacle the MTBM is pulled backwards a by the Pipe Thruster in order to not damage the MTBM when constructing the recovery shaft. Depending on the available equipment and depth of the problem, the recovery shaft might consist of concrete rings or sheet piling. The concrete rings or the sheet piling are lowered to the underground. The soil within the concrete rings or the sheet piling is excavated and the obstacle is recovered, if necessary with the help of divers. Concrete rings can be left in the underground as they can be driven by the MTBM but sheet piling must be removed. OBSTACLES WITH A SIZE OF 30 % OF THE PIPELINE DIAMETER Obstacles e.g. stones in size less than 30% of the jacking pipeline diameter can be hackled by an integrated stonebreaker and discharged hydraulically by the drilling fluid. PREPARATION OF CONSTRUCTION PROCESS Before applying the DIRECT PIPE method for each single project, a detailed preparation of the construction process according to local conditions is performed. For this, drawings, calculations and detailed descriptions are created. The following list gives a rough overview about the scope of the engineering work. An essential part of the preparation process is the examination of soil conditions. Soil Conditions Soil research on the basis of experiences from similar projects near to the project location, Detailed review of soil investigations provided by the client Evaluation whether the soil information is sufficient for the application of the DIRECT PIPE method Information of the client about the results of the upcoming evaluation If necessary additional soil investigations Advises to client concerning possible obstacles and risks during construction process Implementation Drawings The following implementation drawings based on the local survey are created: Novembre 22, 2016 Page 24 of

25 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project Longitudinal section of the designed crossing Layout with illustration of intended crossing route Drawings which include the site equipment and the required terrain A current profile of the terrain is integrated in the longitudinal section. For the crossing of rivers a current profile of the riverbed in the crossing area is included. If an updated profile of the terrain / riverbed is not available new soundings of the riverbed should be accomplished. Construction Description / Construction Schedule In sufficient time a construction description and a construction schedule will be submitted. In addition to a description of the project-related construction process, the construction description must also contain information concerning the mastering of critical work steps, e.g. mixing of used transporting, supporting respectively lubricant suspension. If the client makes certain demands with respect to the execution of the work (e.g. avoiding of a twisting of the pipeline), it will be explained how observance of these demands can be ensured. The construction schedule indicates the interdependencies of the individual work steps. A meaningful construction schedule for the execution of tunnelling work according to the DIRECT PIPE method, including pipe building, is subdivided in the following subordinate working steps: Preparation of the grounds Site surveying Site installation Installation of starting and reception pit with entrance and exit wall Assembling of pipeline Crossing process Quality control work Clearing of the sites Restoration of the grounds Creation / transfer of the as-built documentation The construction schedule must refer to current calendar days and is to be corrected in the event of target actual deviations of more than 5% of the indicated total building time. Calculations The following numeric proofs according to the particular valid technical standard will be performed. Pipe static acc. to technical standard for the jacking pipe Calculation / proof of allowed bending radius of jacking pipe Calculation / proof of the jacking force essential for the jacking of the pipe and the MTBM Calculation / proof of the Pipe Thruster anchorage Novembre 22, 2016 Page 25 of

26 2017 NGTL IPC System Inc. Expansion Project Necessary supporting pressure in the annular gap Calculation / proof of force transmission from the Pipe Thruster to the jacking pipe without damaging the coating designed by the client Proof about installation of pipes into the jacking pipe. For this, the permitted pulling forces and the safety against buckling for each pipe must be proven Dimensioning of roller-supports and determination of distances during installation and driving-in of jacking pipe. Determination of the over bend including appropriate proofs of stress for the moment of pushing in the pipe. For the hydraulic soil transport the hydraulic proof of the pump capacity according to the soil excavation rate, the pipe section of the transportation line and the pipe length is performed. Hereafter all components of the mud circulation are dimensioned. Volume / Mass Balance It will be proven by an appropriate method that the excavated soil mass corresponds to the borehole volume according to the driven length. It is documented how the comparison of the volumes was accomplished and indicated how much supporting fluid penetrates to the ground how much drilling fluid is carried back with the excavated soil and has to be recycled. Machinery breakdown Single aggregates in the MTBM that fail can be manually substituted by trained mechanics onsite and the machine can be started up again. If reparation is not possible the pipe must be pulled back together with the machine. The cylindrical hole, which will be created by pulling back the MTBM, will be filled with a selfhardening special drilling fluid mixture. It will be paid attention to that this mixture has no polluting effects on the environment. The solidity of the drilling fluid will be adjusted in that way that it is assured to fill and support the ground and the drilling fluid can be easily excavated again by the MTBM. AVAILABILTY OF PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT The pipe jacking according to the DIRECT PIPE method demands a 24 h operation. Therefore it will be ensured that there is enough field service personnel and equipment on the site at any time available. FINAL COMMENTS For each project the engineering work will be accomplished comprehensively in a way that the risk of a failure by using the DIRECT PIPE method is, except for unpredictable conditions, minimised. The client can be sure that prior to the construction process all possible contingencies will be concerned and dissolved by engineering solutions. Novembre 22, 2016 Page 26 of

39 Equipment set-up at the launch pit: Pipe Thruster, Direct Pipe machine, outlaid pipeline and control container. REACHING THE TARGET IN ONE STEP. REQ UIREMENT PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION Elimination of pipe and drill-rod coupling times. Installation of pre-welded and tested pipelines or pipeline sections. Space-saving: equipment and pipeline are only required on one side of the crossing. Rapid installation of product pipes and pipelines without deep launch and target pits. Suitable for use in densely-populated urban areas. Selection of the optimum construction method is based on time and cost parameters as well as geological ground conditions. Key specifications include appropriate construction site installation and the ability to drill through soil formations where HDD is not applicable or too risky. Crossing sensitive areas safely above ground is a matter of course for us. Underground, Direct Pipe opens up new application potentials by combining the advantages of Microtunnelling and Pipe Thruster technology. A prefabricated pipeline is installed almost continuously in one step, concurrently with the excavation. A cutterhead adjusted to the geology requirements and a cone crusher remove possible obstacles. FAST AND EFFICIENT PIPELINE INSTALLATION. SOLUTION DIRECT PIPE Pioneering technology: One-pass work phase of operation for tunnelling and pipeline installation. HERRENKNECHT PIPE THRUSTER: HK300PT: Pipeline diameter: up to 36 Max. thrust and pull force: 300 t (3,000 kn) HK500PT: Pipeline diameter: up to 48 Max. thrust and pull force: 500 t (5,000 kn) HK750PT: Pipeline diameter: up to 60 Max. thrust and pull force: 750 t (7,500 kn) In a similar way to the pipe jacking process, Herrenknecht Direct Pipe machines excavate the borehole. The excavated material is transported via a slurry circuit which runs in the laid pipeline to the separation plant above ground. The Pipe Thruster takes over the function of the main jacking station and pushes the pipeline with the coupled Direct Pipe machine forward. The required force is transmitted via two hydraulic Pipe Thruster cylinders over the entire length of the pipeline to the cutterhead. Protection for the pipeline coating. Herrenknecht and independent partners have successfully tested various pipeline coating materials and proved that the clamping unit does not damage the coating. The coated pipeline only comes into contact with the inner surface of the clamping inserts of the Pipe Thruster which is large enough to keep the load along the coating at a tolerable margin. The clamping inserts are lined with a special rubber which compensates for unevenness on the pipe and its coating. The German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology promoted the development of the method and implementation of the pilot project in Worms, Germany.

One-pass work phase of operation for tunnelling and pipeline installation. ➊ Using the Direct Pipe method, the drilling route is typically an arc from the surface of the terrain, underneath the obstacle to be drilled under, to the opposite terrain surface, like in HDD. Compared with the jacking frame generally used for pipe jacking, the Herrenknecht Pipe Thruster ➌ acts like a jacking unit. The required bore hole is excavated by the slurry-supported Direct Pipe machine, which is based on a Herrenknecht micromachine (AVN). This machine is deployed at the front end of the pipeline. Afterwards, the one-pass excavation and pipeline installation starts. The Pipe Thruster grips the outlaid pipeline and pushes it together with the TBM into the ground. The excavated material is removed via the slurry circuit (bentonite suspension) of the Direct Pipe machine to the separation plant on the surface. The slurry fluid thus not only discharges the excavated material but also supports the tunnel face. The overcut created by the cutterhead is filled with high-viscosity lubricant (bentonite suspension). This reduces the friction between the bore hole wall and the laid pipe. With the support of a Herrenknecht Navigation System (U.N.S.), accurate curved drilling profiles are possible using a gyro-compass for the horizontal orientation and a hydraulic water leveling system for the vertical orientation. Launch pit with construction site equipment. ➋ The Pipe Thruster is placed in a shallow launch pit with near to the surface. The horizontal and vertical push forces are transferred into the soil by a suitable anchorage, e.g. with the aid of sheet piles. The control container is placed beside the launch pit. The benefit of the Direct Pipe method is the simplicity of the required launch and target pits. Small target pit for recovery of the machine. ➍ There are very low space requirements for the target pit thus projects can be realized even in densely populated urban areas. When the Direct Pipe machine has reached its target, the entire pipeline has been installed. The machine can now be recovered from a simple target pit in partial sections of approx. 3 meters. In a final working step, the feed and slurry lines inside the pipeline are dismantled and the pipeline is ready for connection with the rest of the pipeline grid. Novembre 22, 2016 Page 41 of 128

65 Product Description 3 Product Description UNS is a generic term referring to an integrated system solution of any possible navigation and control systems within a homogenous future-oriented product group. The current UNS version comprises the following components ELS Description ELS Electronic Laser System An advance laser, which is fixed-installed in the start shaft, targets at an electronic laser target, which is firmly installed in the machine. The results are transferred to an industrial PC and displayed on a screen. ELS-HWL GNS Description ELS-HWL Electronic Laser System - Hydrostatic Water Levelling An advance laser, which is fixed-installed in the start shaft, targets at an electronic target, which is firmly installed in the machine. An additionally integrated electronic hose water level permanently delivers height values via a reference sensor installed in the start shaft and a height sensor installed in the tunnel boring machine. These results are temperature-dependent and are not subject to laser refraction. The results are transferred to an industrial PC and displayed on the screen. Description GNS Gyro Navigation System The north-seeking gyro compass, which is firmly installed in the tunnel boring machine, determines the north direction related to the machine axis. On the basis of dead reckoning, the current machine position is calculated. An electronic hose water level, which is integrated in the system, permanently delivers height values via a reference sensor installed in the start shaft and a height sensor installed in the tunnel boring machine. These height results are temperature-dependent and are not subject to laser refraction. The results are transferred to an industrial PC and displayed on the screen. The operating mode can be selected when the system is set up at the construction site. Herrenknecht AG, Schlehenweg 2 Edition: April 2007 D Schwanau 2, Phone / 3020 I Version: 0 Novembre 22, 2016 Page 65 of 128

66 Product Description A change-over between the ELS and ELS-HWL operating modes is also possible during advance operation. To change from ELS or ELS-HWL to GNS, a set-up measurement must be performed. For a better understanding, the operating modes are named as follows in the operating manual and in the UNS software: 1) ELS Laser 2) ELS-HWL Laser + HWL 3) GNS Gyro + HWL 3.1 UNS System Software The UNS system software controls the sequence of a measuring process and calculates the position of the tunnel boring machine on the basis of the measuring values determined by the sensors (gyro compass or ELS and HWL). The reference point for the position and height parameters is the geometrical centre of the machine pipe or the front edge of the laser target. If respectively set, the positions and deviations of further spots in the machine pipe, e.g. shield articulation and cutterhead tip, are calculated and displayed as well. Additionally, diverse other values such as pressures, lengths of expander stations and strokes of the steering cylinders are obtained from the PLC, stored and partially displayed on the screen. The UNS software is installed by the factory and comes with a software and hardware key for copy protection. 3.2 ELS Structure and Functional Description Depending on the configuration, UNS consists of the following components: Laser target ELS Control PC with system software Cable set Length encoder (measuring wheel) Laser The following illustration shows the schematic structure of the UNS.

81 Assembly and Installation 4 Assembly and Installation 4.1 ELS Installation of the Electronic Laser Target The laser target is pre-installed by the factory Installation of the Length Encoder in the Start Pitch The length encoder is fitted to the starting wall in the start shaft by means of the supplied holder. The wheel of the length encoder freely rests on the upper edge of the advance pipe. If advance pipes with lifting anchors are used on the upper pipe side, the measuring wheel has to be mounted slightly outside the pipe axis to ensure that it does not run through the recesses of the anchor mounts. An arrow on the length encoder points towards the sense of rotation. If possible, the length encoder should be protected against major contamination with a "roof" Cable Connections Cable from the length encoder to the control panel Cable from the sub-distribution in the machine pipe to the ELS 4.2 HWL Installation of the Compensation Tank's Reference Sensor in the Start Shaft The compensation tank is installed in the start shaft by means of, e.g., the fixing lugs on the housing and the threaded bolts welded to the sheet pile wall. The compensation tank has to be suspended at a height which ensures that its level is always higher than the height sensor in the tunnel boring machine throughout the advance operation. Herrenknecht AG, Schlehenweg 2 Edition: April 2007 D Schwanau 2, Phone / 3020 I Version: 0 Novembre 22, 2016 Page 81 of 128

82 Assembly and Installation Furthermore, the maximum height difference between the reference sensor and the height sensor, which is determined by the selected height sensor, must not be exceeded throughout the advance operation. The maximum height difference is 10 m with a 1.0 bar sensor. The reference sensor must be installed in the start shaft. Ideally, the reference sensor is installed at the same height as the height sensor in the tunnel boring machine. The installation position of the reference sensor must not change throughout the advance operation. Caution The hose leading from the compensation tank towards the height sensor must be shortened in a way which ensures that the hydraulic coupling is freely hanging at the lower hose end and does not rest on the floor. Edition: April 2007 Herrenknecht AG, Schlehenweg 2 I D Schwanau 2, Phone / 3020 Novembre 22, 2016 Page 82 of 128

83 Assembly and Installation This is important to allow air bubbles, which form during the coupling process with the hydraulic coupling, to soar into the supply tank of the reference module. Only the measuring liquid supplied by Herrenknecht should be used for filling. If other measuring liquids are used, resistance to frost cannot be guaranteed. Caution Moreover, Herrenknecht cannot guarantee that other measuring liquids (except for water) are compatible with the UNS components. Caution Before disassembling and transporting the compensation tank, the liquid must be completely drained. For this purpose, open the drain cock on the Y piece of the reference tank Installation of the Height Sensor in the Machine Pipe For the height sensor, a mounting plate has been pre-installed by the factory. The installation position of the height sensor must not change throughout the advance operation Connection of System Components with Cables and Hoses After installation of the individual UNS system components, they are interconnected by means of the supplied cables and hoses. The connections between cables (cable drums) or between cables and modules are established via polarised plugs. An improper connection of system components can therefore be excluded Cable Connections Connect the length encoder cable with the reference sensor (10m) From the reference sensor to the control panel (40m) Cable from the sub-distribution in the machine pipe to the height sensor Herrenknecht AG, Schlehenweg 2 Edition: April 2007 D Schwanau 2, Phone / 3020 I Version: 0 Novembre 22, 2016 Page 83 of 128

84 Assembly and Installation Hose Connections Hose from the compensation tank to the height sensor (split up to several 50 m hose drums). A short hose piece is connected with the hydraulic coupling on the hose drum in the pitch. Connect the second hose from the compensation tank to the reference sensor. The connection between individual hose pieces is established via Y cocks as follows: Hose from wound-off drum Air bleed cock Hose from the new drum Fig. 4.4: Y cock for connection of the hose drums Edition: April 2007 Herrenknecht AG, Schlehenweg 2 I D Schwanau 2, Phone / 3020 Novembre 22, 2016 Page 84 of 128

85 Assembly and Installation Filling of the Hose Water Level The hose drums should only be filled when laterally positioned. Use the pump to pump sufficient liquid through the hose drum during the filling process. Entrapped air can be released by slightly shaking the hose drum. After the filling process is completed, the hose ends have to be thoroughly closed by means of the Y cock or a blind plug. Prior to the installation of the height sensor in the tunnel boring machine, the reference sensor in the shaft and the hose drum connection, entrapped air in the above-mentioned sensors has to be completely removed. This can be achieved by slightly shaking the sensors Pipe Replacement Measures When replacing pipes, the following measures usually have to be implemented in the sequence described below: 1) Set the measuring function on the panel to "OFF" screen shows measuring. 2) Disconnect the cable and the hose in the pit. 3) Insert the cable end and the hose end with a part of the quick-release coupling in the pipe. 4) Install a new pipe. 5) Re-connect the cable and the hose. 6) After having connected the hose by means of the quick-release coupling, ensure that no air is entrapped in the area of the quickrelease valve. Residual air can escape to the reference module by slightly knocking, for example, with the helve of a screwdriver onto the hose. 7) Set the measuring function on the panel to "ON". Caution Non-compliance with the above-described sequence may cause system damage. Additionally, data may get lost if the computer is disconnected from the power supply during operation without having shut down the program properly. Herrenknecht AG, Schlehenweg 2 Edition: April 2007 D Schwanau 2, Phone / 3020 I Version: 0 Novembre 22, 2016 Page 85 of 128

86 Assembly and Installation Caution The piece of the quick-release coupling which is inserted into the pipe during pipe replacement must be protected against major contamination. Deposits on the quick-release piece may result in leakiness. Always position the hose end from the pipe slightly elevated to ensure that air intruding during the coupling process cannot enter the hose system but is bled via the quick-release coupling in the compensation tank Hose Drum Replacement After an advance distance of approx. 50 m, a new hose drum must be connected. Also refer to the illustrated instruction in the enclosure. Caution This work should be carried out with utmost care as intruding air may result in grossly incorrect measuring results of the hose water level. The following sequence must be adhered to: 1) Disconnect the quick-release coupling. 2) Close the Y cock at the wound-off drum. 3) Remove the connection hose with the part of the hydraulic coupling from the drum. 4) Fix the hydraulic coupling to a new drum. 5) Remove the dummy plugs from the new drum and fix the hose end at the Y cock of the wound-off drum. 6) Re-connect the hydraulic coupling. 7) Re-open the Y cock between the drums. 8) Remove the air before and behind the Y cock via the air bleed cock. 9) After the bleeding process, all ball valve cocks must be secured with adhesive tape against accidental opening or closing. Edition: April 2007 Herrenknecht AG, Schlehenweg 2 I D Schwanau 2, Phone / 3020 Novembre 22, 2016 Page 86 of 128

87 Assembly and Installation Caution The sequence of step 6 and 7 must be strictly followed. If step 7 is carried out before step 6, overpressure in the new drum may, under adverse conditions, damage the pressure sensor in the height sensor. NOTE The brass screw connections of the hose water level should be tightly fastened (approx knm). If the brass screw connection is fastened too firmly, the inside brass sleeve may be subject to deformation. The screw connection is then useless and must be immediately replaced by a new sleeve.

Knock on the Y piece and remove the residual air upwards into the reference module Edition: April 2007 Herrenknecht AG, Schlehenweg 2 I D Schwanau 2, Phone / 3020 Novembre 22, 2016 Page 88 of 128

89 Assembly and Installation Open the ball valve between the old and the new hose drum (while keeping up) and bleed via the outgoing ball valve Hose bleeding When air has entered the hose of the hose water level, the entrapped air has to be localised by means of a visual hose check and removed via the Y cocks. By means of this procedure, entrapped air can be reliably and permanently removed. NOTE The hose line should not be flushed by means of the pump. Flushing merely whirls up entrapped air and distributes it in the hose line instead of removing it. Faults, insufficient bleeding of the hose water level If the hose water level is insufficiently bled after two hose pieces are connected, the measuring results of the hose water level may be grossly incorrect. Countermeasure: Thorough bleeding of the hose water level after every coupling procedure and regular check of the hose pieces for entrapped air bubbles. The HWL inside the shaft must be protected against direct sunlight. 4.3 GNS Installation of the Gyro Compass A holder for the gyro compass is pre-installed by the factory. When using the Northstar 24 gyro compass, the supplied adapter cable must be connected to the gyro.
