Horizontal Directional Drilling Pipeline Design and QA/QC Using the BoreAid Software Program
Publication: Pipelines 2009: Infrastructure's Hidden Assets
Abstract
This paper describes a structured framework for the design and construction of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects. This framework is implemented in a new HDD software design program BoreAid. The framework consists of five interlinked modules: 1) bore planner; 2) load/deflection calculator; 3) drill planner; 4) bore pressure estimator; and 5) equipment/tooling selection. Each module is discussed in detail and a case study example is presented to demonstrate how this new framework methodology can be used as a HDD project quality assurance and quality control tool and to increase the probability that the project will be completed on time and within budget by ensuring industry good practices are followed.
