HDD INSTALLATION PROCESS Installation of a pipeline by HDD is generally accomplished in two stages. The first stage consists of directionally driling a small diameter pilot hole along a designed and pre calculated directional path. The second stage involves enlarging this pilot hole to a diameter, which will accommodate the pipeline and pulling the pipeline back into the enlarged hole. Drilling fluid is used throughout the operation to transport drilled spoil, reduce friction, stabilise the hole, etc. BOREHOLE PROFILE DESIGN Prior to any equipment being positioned on the bore a survey of the bore path will be performed. Once the crossing (ground) profile has been taken and the geotechnical investigation complete, a determination of the depth of cover under the crossing is made. Factors considered may include flow characteristics of the river, the depth of scour from periodic flooding, future channel widening / deepening and the existence of existing pipeline or cable crossings at the location.

PILOT HOLE DIRECTIONAL DRILLING A pilot hole is drilled beginning at 2 prescribed angle from horizontal and continues under and across the obstacle along a design profile made up of straight tangents and long radius arcs. The driling rig with its inclined carriage is set up on one side of the obstacle (e.g. river) and adjusted to give the correct ground entry angle. A schematic of the technique is shown in FIGURE 4 in ATTACHMENT 4. Pilot hole directional control is achieved by using a non-rotating drill string with an asymmetrical leading edge. The asymmetry of the leading edge creates a steering bias while the non-rotating aspect of the drill string allows the steering bias to be held in a specific position while drilling. If a change in direction is required, the drill string is rolled so that the direction of bias is the same as the desired change in direction. The direction of bias is referred to as the tool face. Straight progress may be achieved by simply rotating or with a series of offsetting tool face positions. Leasing edge asymmetry can be accomplished by several methods. Typically, the leading edge has an angular offset created by a bent sub. This is illustrated schematically in FIGURE 2 in ATTACHMENT 4. It is common in soft soils to achieve drilling progress by hydraulic cutting with a jet nozzle. In this case, the direction of flow from the nozzle can be offset from the central axis of the drill string thereby creating a steering bias. This. may be accomplished by blocking selected nozzles on a standard roller cone bit or by custom fabricating a jet deflection bit. If hard spots are encountered, the drill string may be rotated to drill without directional control until the hard spot has been penetrated. DOWNHOLE MOTORS, Downhole mechanical cutting action required for harder soils is provided by downhole hydraulic motors. Downhole hydraulic motors, commonly referred to as mud motors, convert hydraulic energy from drilling mud pumped from the surface to mechanical energy at the bit. This allows for bit rotation without drill string rotation. There are two basic types of mud motors; positive displacement and turbine. Positive displacement motors are typically used in HDD applications. Basically, a positive displacement mud motor consists of a spiral-shaped stator containing a sinusoidal shaped rotor. Mudflow through the stator imparts rotation to the rotor, which is in turn connected through a linkage to the bit. Steering is accomplished by offset housing (Bendsub).

The sonde sends magnetic signals to a surface locator placed at a distance from the sonde. The information from the surface locator is then transmitted through electromagnetic waves to a remote display unit in the control cabin placed at a maximum distance of 1000 m from the surface locator to enable steering to be accomplished. As the measuring is executed continuously, the real position can be checked against the design position on the design profile drawing We need a directional bore steering system available to all utility and pipeline construction. The above mentioned system enables the driller to guide the drill head with known positioning by providing immediate information on tool face, direction and inclination. This data is transmitted at the surface by computer to provide additional information on depth, course length and distance of a predetermined line, ‘The system consists of three main components: ~Adownhole sonde ~ A surface locator - Drillers console remote cisplay ‘The downhole probe is placed directly behind the bottom hole assembly, which may include a jetting head and oriented sub, or drill bit and mud motor. Information is gathered by the downhole probe and transmitted to the surface locator uni The surface locator unit consists of a standard portable computer and interface unit.
