The equipment and procedures are intended tominimize surface damage, restoration requirements, and dis-ruption of vehicular or maritime traffic with little or nointerruption of other existing lines or services.

5、 Mini-horizontaldirectional drilling (min-HDD) is typically used for the rela-tively shorter distances and smaller diameter pipes associatedwith local utility distribution lines. In comparison, maxi-horizontal directional drilling (maxi-HDD) is typically used forlonger distances and larger diameter

6、pipes common in majorriver crossings. Applications that are intermediate to themini-HDD or maxi-HDD categories may utilize appropriate“medi” equipment of intermediate size and capabilities. In suchcases, the design guidelines and installation practices wouldfollow those described for the mini- or ma

19、y lines below ground using asurface-mounted drill rig that launches and places a drill stringat a shallow angle to the surface and has tracking and steeringcapabilities.3.1.1.1 DiscussionThe drill string creates a pilot bore holein an essentially horizontal path or shallow arc which maysubsequently

20、be enlarged to a larger diameter during a second-ary operation which typically includes reaming and thenpullback of the pipe or utility line. Tracking of the initial borepath is accomplished by a manually operated overhead receiveror a remote tracking system. Steering is achieved by control-ling the

21、 orientation of the drill head which has a directionalbias and pushing the drill string forward with the drill headoriented in the direction desired. Continuous rotation of thedrill string allows the drill head to bore a straight path. Theprocedure uses fluid jet or mechanical cutting, or both, with

22、 alow, controlled volume of drilling fluid flow to minimize thecreation of voids during the initial boring or backreamingoperations. The drilling fluid helps stabilize the bore hole,remove cuttings, provide lubricant for the drill string andplastic pipe, and cool the drill head. The resultant slurry

23、surrounds the pipe, typically filling the annulus between thepipe and the bored cavity.3.1.2 maxi-horizontal directional drilling, maxi-HDD, naclass of HDD, sometimes referred to as directional drilling, forboring holes of up to several thousand feet in length andplacing pipes of up to 48 in. (114 m

24、) diameter or greater atdepths up to 200 ft (60 m).3.1.2.1 DiscussionMaxi-HDD is appropriate for placingpipes under large rivers or other large obstacles (Fig. 1).Tracking information is provided remotely to the operator ofthe drill rig by sensors located towards the leading end of thedrill string.

25、Cutting of the pilot hole and expansion of the holeis typically accomplished with a bit or reamer attached to thedrill pipe, which is rotated and pulled by the drilling rig.3.1.3 mini-horizontal directional drilling, mini-HDD, naclass of HDD, sometimes referred to as guided boring, forboring holes o

28、 pilot bore hole and the reaming operationsare typically accomplished by fluid jet cutting or the cuttingtorque provided by rotating the drill string, although mudmotors powered by the drilling fluid are sometimes used forhard or rocky soil conditions. The use of such mud motorswould only be applica

29、ble for the larger mini-HDD machines.The locating and tracking systems typically require a manuallyoperated overhead receiver to follow the progress of the initialpilot bore. The receiver is placed above the general vicinity ofthe drill head to allow a determination of its precise location4Available

32、 DR, nthe average specifieddiameter of a pipe divided by the minimum specified wallthickness.3.1.4.1 DiscussionFor pipes manufactured to a controlledoutside diameter (OD), the DR is the ratio of pipe outerdiameter to minimum wall thickness. The standard dimensionratio (SDR) is a specific ratio of th

33、e outside diameter to theminimum wall thickness as specified by ANSI PreferredNumber Series 10.NOTE 1Lower DR values correspond to thicker, stronger pipes.4. Preliminary Site Investigation4.1 General ConsiderationsA maxi-HDD project, such asthat associated with a river crossing, is a major event tha

34、t willrequire extensive and thorough surface and subsurface inves-tigations. Qualified geotechnical engineers should perform thework for the owner in preparation for planning and designingof the bore route. The information should also be provided tothe potential contractors to provide guidance for t

35、he biddingstage and subsequent installation. The contractor may performadditional investigations, as desired. Since typical maxi-HDDprojects represent river crossings, the following procedures aredescribed in terms of the specific investigations and issuesarising in such cases. The general procedure

36、s, however, may beappropriately interpreted to also apply to non-river crossings,such as under land-based obstacles including highways,railways, etc.4.2 Surface Investigation (2, 3)4.2.1 Topographic SurveyA survey should be conductedto accurately define the working areas described in 4.1 for theprop

37、osed crossing site. Horizontal and vertical references mustbe established for referencing hydrographic and geotechnicaldata. The survey should typically include overbank profiles onthe anticipated path center-line, extending about 150 ft (75 m)landward of the bore entry point to the length of the (p

38、re-fabricated) pull section landward of the bore exit point. Thesurvey information should be related to topographical featuresin the vicinity of the proposed crossing. Existing topographicalinformation may be available from the U.S. Geological Survey,or Federal, state, or county publications. Aerial

39、 photographs orordnance surveys may be useful, especially for crossingland-based obstacles in urban areas, since these may indicatethe presence of demolished buildings and the possibility of oldfoundations, as well any filled areas (4). It is also necessary tocheck available utility records to help

40、identify the preciselocation of existing below-ground facilities in the vicinity,including electric power, natural gas, petroleum, water, sewer,or telecommunications lines. The presence of existingpipelines, support pilings, etc., containing significant steelmass should be noted since this may cause

41、 interference withmagnetically sensitive equipment guidance or location instru-mentation.4.2.1.1 Drill Rig (Bore Entry) SideThe available arearequired on the side of the drill rig must be sufficient for the rigitself and its ancillary equipment. In general, the size of therequired area on the rig si

42、de will depend upon the magnitude ofthe operation, including length of bore and diameter of pipe tobe placed. Typically, a temporary workspace of approximately150 ft (45 m) width by 250 ft (75 m) length will be sufficient.These dimensions may vary from 100 by 150 ft (30 by 45 m)for shorter crossings

43、 of 1000 ft (300 m) or less, to 200 by 300ft (60 by 90 m) for medium or long crossings.4.2.1.2 Water SupplyWater storage and facilities formixing, storing, and pumping drilling fluid will require signifi-cant space.Although it is standard practice to draw fresh waterfound at the location for mixing

44、the drilling fluid, alternatewater supplies may be required to obtain proper drilling fluidcharacteristics. Hard or salty water is undesirable, althoughadditives may be used to create the proper pH value. It may benecessary to provide access for trucks to transport water or toprovide for the install

45、ation of a relatively long surface pipe orhose connecting a remote hydrant.4.2.1.3 Pipe (Bore Exit) SideAssuming the pipe to beplaced is too large a diameter to be supplied on a reel (forexample, larger than 6 in. (150 mm), sufficient space isrequired at the side opposite that of the drill rig, wher

46、e the borewill exit and the pipe be inserted, to accommodate a continuousstraight length of pre-fabricated pipe. The space for the straightlength will begin approximately 50 to 100 ft (15 to 30 m) fromthe anticipated bore exit and extend straight landward at awidth of 35 to 50 ft (10 to 15 m), depen

47、ding upon the pipediameter. In the immediate vicinity of the bore exit (pipeentry), an area of typically 50 ft (15 m) width by 100 ft (30 m)length is required; for relatively large diameter pipes (largerthan 24 in. (600 mm), or in cases of difficult soil conditions, anarea of 100 ft (30 m) width by

48、150 ft (45 m) length should beprovided.4.2.2 Hydrographic/Potamological SurveyFor crossingsignificant waterways, a survey should be conducted to accu-rately describe the bottom contours and river stability toestablish suitability for the design life of the pipeline.Typically, depths should be establ

49、ished along the anticipatedcenter-line, and approximately 200 ft (60 m) upstream anddownstream; closer readings may be required if it is necessaryto monitor future river activity. Consideration should be givento future changes in river bank terrain. Washouts, bankmigrations, or scour can expose pipe.4.2.3 Drilling Fluid DisposalThe means for disposal ofthe drilling fluid wastes must be considered. The volume ofdrilling fluid used will depend upon the soil characteristics butis typically on the order of 1 to 3 times the volume of removedsoil. Most drilling fluids
