Autonomous Trenchless Horizontal Directional Drilling
2020Over the past 25 years trenchless technology has flourished in many pipeline installation applications as water industry, sanitary sewer, and natural gas pipeline industry. Trenchless technology gained more popularity than open trench due to its economic and environmental factors, it facilitates the installation, replacement, or rehabilitation of ...

The Impact of Risk in Horizontal Directional Drilling
Volume 1: Upstream Pipelines; Project Management; Design and Construction; Environment; Facilities Integrity Management; Operations and Maintenance; Pipeline Automation and Measurement, 2012The risks, associated with horizontal directional drilling (HDD) can have a significant impact on project schedule and cost. Contractors, engineers and owners are generally aware of the potential impact of this risk, but the awareness is largely qualitative in nature, and is thereby limiting for pointed decision making and the development of measured ...

Automatic Trenchless Horizontal Directional Drilling Using Quad Motors Drilling Heads
2018 15th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD), 2018Trenchless technology facilitates the installation, replacement, or rehabilitation of underground utility systems with minimum disruption of the surface. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is used for pipelines installation beneath buildings, forests, or lacks without excavation or at least minimum digging. HDD requires less surface area disturbance

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.

Postconstruction Evaluation of Horizontal Directional Drilling Installations
Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, 2005Recently, questions have arisen concerning the compactive nature of drilling fluids within the annular space during horizontal directional drilling (HDD) operations. To address these concerns, a field and laboratory study was conducted to provide both a qualitative and a quantitative assessment of the annular space. The study consisted of installing 61

Horizontal Directional Drilling: Profile of an Emerging Industry
Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 2000Perhaps the fastest growing segment in the underground trenchless construction industry is horizontal directional drilling (HDD). Currently, in North America alone, there are 17 manufacturers of HDD rigs and accessories and thousands of horizontal drilling rigs that are owned and operated by several hundred dedicated HDD contractors as well as utility ...

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.

Pull-in force predictions for horizontal directional drilling
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Geotechnical Engineering, 2010Horizontal directional drilling is a ‘trenchless technology' that has been used successfully to install pipelines with minimal surface disruption. It has been developed to such an extent that pipelines 2·5 km long and with diameters approaching 2000 mm have been installed, and it has the potential to install pipelines over even greater distances.

A decision support system for horizontal directional drilling
Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2003Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) was pioneered in the US in the early 1970s. Through the integration of vertical oil well drilling technology with modern survey and steering techniques, horizontal directional drilling methods have the capability of undertaking a wide range of pipe installations, from large-diameter river crossings to small ...
