Data acquisition and factors impacting productivity of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2013
Abstract Contractors, consultants, and decision makers are challenged to estimate time and cost of new pipe installations using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). This is because productivity prediction and cost estimation of HDD involves a large number of objective and subjective factors that need to be considered.

Development of a bore-head GPR for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) equipment

Proceedings of the XIII Internarional Conference on Ground Penetrating Radar, 2010
ORFEUS is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP), partly funded by the EC, that started in November 2006. One of the objectives of the project was to design and develop a radar mounted on the drill head of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) machines to provide a real-time indication, to the operator, of obstacles in the drill path.

Modeling of an obstacle detection sensor for horizontal directional drilling (HDD) operations

Automation in Construction, 2011
Abstract Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a commonly used construction method for the installation of underground pipelines, conduits and cables in urban areas and across obstacles such as rivers, railways and highways. A key concern in using the HDD method is the risk of hitting existing buried utilities during the pilot boring operation ...
