Pipeline Design for Installation by Horizontal Directional Drilling

Pipeline Design for Installation by Horizontal Directional Drilling addresses the design of major pipeline or duct segments to be installed by horizontal directional drilling (HDD). This Manual of Practice, which covers topics specifically related to HDD installation, was prepared by a committee of senior engineers who are leaders in the development of HDD techniques and practices. HDD is a trenchless excavation method that is accomplished in three phases and uses a specialized horizontal drilling rig with ancillary tools and equipment. This Manual is meant to be a guide for design engineers with previous experience and knowledge of the HDD installation process and pipeline design methods.

Horizontal directional drilling poses its own special problems, not the least of which are those caused by trenchless excavation, a three-phase method, and specialized tools, rigs and equipment. This manual of practice includes such topics as predesign surveys, including subsurface investigation, drilled path issues such as penetration angles, depth of penetration, radius of curvature, complex installations and casings, pipe design including issues for steel and polyethylene pipe, construction impact, and preparation of as-built documentation. The authors include a glossary and references. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
