Understanding Directional Drilling

The horizontal directional drilling technique (HDD) is on the way up at the moment. Directional drilling operations unheard of in the past, now belong to the everyday scene on a job site. Application of HDD units make longitudinal installations up to 500 m possible. Crossings beneath rivers and other waters are frequently performed. The directional method even makes drillings beneath industry complexes possible. The range of application includes all pipe construction measures within the bounds of gas, district heating and drinking water supply, the installation of pressure lines for sewers as well as cable protection pipes for television or telephone cables, traffic routing systems, emergency call boxes or low, medium, high voltage and optical fibre cables.

The installation technique is extremely protective towards the environment, causing no ecological damage at all. Minimal damage to the area is only caused within the vicinity of the unit. Several reasons also speak for the application of the directional technique in central town areas. These mainly concern the construction costs, construction periods, permission procedures, soil movement, surface restoration and the traffic, compared to open trenching methods.

Drilling Technologies

The normal course taken by the drilling operation is described in the following:

Planning, preliminary survey.
Selecting the drilling units and drilling tools.
Pilot bore and detection.
Reaming(s) or upsizing bore(s)
Pulling in the pipe.

Basically, the drilling unit consists of three main system components

Drill rig / drilling tools.
Bentonite mixing system with a two-chamber system and in some cases a recycling system
Hydraulic power unit for driving the Bentonite mixing unit.

A well planned HDD operation includes preliminary survey of the bore path area to determine existing external lines and the soil condition. The choice of the drilling unit depends upon the bore length, the diameter of the pipe to be installed and the soil quality. Keeping up a certain bore path and gradient course is the main problem of the pilot bore, when the fluid assisted technique fails because of mechanical soil resistance.

Advantages of the method:

Surfaces worth conserving are neither broken up nor damaged, road surface, front gardens etc.), restoration and repair are not required, which leads to high economical advantages.
Low social costs, because detours, setting up of signal systems, road blockings, are avoided
Approved technology, Simple technique, Broad application range.
Short equipping times - short drilling and construction times.
Very economic for river crossings.
Supported by the dynamic impact of the percussive hammer thrust and steerability are improved in soil qualities, pulling force measurement and position determination possible.
In Kuwait we are investing heavily in new equipment so we will be able to meet the needs of our clients both present and future
Be assured we treat all of our projects and our cliennts with the utmost care and attention to detail
