Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Method Pipe Update
CONFERENCE 2023, 2023Abstract Pipeline installation by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) i.e., trenchless technology, has gained popularity over the last four (4) decades. Sound engineering practices, site conditions, and safety considerations dictate the use of HDD methodology for installing a pipeline segment.

Failure Analysis of Horizontal Directional Drilling Crossing Drill Pipe Fracture
ICPTT 2011, 2011The fractured directional drilling crossing drill pipe was investigated by means of non-destructive test, chemistry component analysis, material mechanical property testing, optical microscope and SEM inspection of fracture. The results indicated that the diameter of crossing hole was greater than out-diameter of drill pipe, while rotary drilling ...

Surface Heave Mechanisms in Horizontal Directional Drilling
Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 2005Damage resulting from directionally drilled crossings has become a concern for municipalities and contractors due to the increased popularity of this trenchless installation method. Surface heave is one mechanism through which directionally drilled installations may damage existing surface structures such as pavements and foundations.

Factors Affecting Productivity of Horizontal Directional Drilling
ICPTT 2012, 2012Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a suitable construction method for crossing beneath obstacles, such as rivers and lakes, highways, or special areas such as airport runways. In particular, HDD is the most appropriate, cost effective method for constructing new water and wastewater pipelines where excavation is not practical or possible.

Horizontal Directional Drilling - Construction Risk Management Strategies
Pipelines 2013, 2013To enable industry stakeholders to improve their understanding of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) construction risk and effectively plan a risk response resulting from risk, an HDD construction risk management framework is necessary. The process of risk management involves the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risk events ...

Usage and Applications of Horizontal Directional Drilling
ICPTT 2012, 2012Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is the fastest growing trenchless technology for the installation of pipes, conduits, and cables in underground bore-path construction. This is can be referred to the suitability of the technique for different soil conditions (hard and loose soils), applicability in crossing natural barriers such as rivers, lakes ...

Drilling Fluid Considerations in Design of Engineered Horizontal Directional Drilling Installations
International Journal of Geomechanics, 2005A literature review is presented that identifies a number of areas where procedures for the engineering design of bored installations in soil using horizontal directional drilling (HDD) can be improved through a more realistic consideration of drilling fluid drag effects and skin friction coefficients.

Modeling of Observability During In-Drilling Alignment for Horizontal Directional Drilling
IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2007Navigation performance is an important factor in horizontal directional drilling. In-drilling alignment (IDA) was previously suggested to improve downhole navigation performance when utilizing an inertial navigation system (INS). It was shown that the IDA process enhances the ability to estimate INS bias and drift errors and, particularly, their ...

Horizontal Directional Drilling Installation of Polyethylene Pipe
Pipeline Engineering and Construction, 2004Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a frequently used option for installing polyethylene (PE) pipes for subaqueous crossings, for wetland crossings, and for municipal pipelines in crowded urban and suburban areas. While many consider HHD an "art", there are engineering principles that apply and if followed will result in reliable designs.
