A brief introduction to horizontal directional drilling rigs

Nov 06, 2022

Horizontal directional drilling rig is a construction machine that lays a variety of underground utilities without excavating the ground surface. Sand, clay, pebbles and other ground conditions can be constructed in most non-hard rock areas in my country. Now let's understand the operation method of the horizontal directional drilling rig.

The working environment temperature of the equipment is around -15℃~+45℃. The horizontal directional drilling technology is a new construction technology that combines the directional drilling technology of the petroleum industry and the traditional pipeline construction method. With the advantages of high speed, high construction accuracy and low cost, horizontal directional drilling equipment has also achieved rapid development in the past ten years and has become an emerging industry in developed countries. At present, its development trend is towards large-scale and miniaturization, adapting to hard rock operations, self-contained anchoring systems, automatic stacking and extraction of drill pipes, automatic lubrication of drill pipe connections, anti-electric shock systems and other automatic operation functions, ultra-depth steering monitoring, The development of features such as a wide range of applications. This kind of equipment is generally suitable for steel pipes and PE pipes with a pipe diameter of φ300~φ1200mm, and the length of large laying pipes can reach 1500m. It is suitable for various soil conditions from soft soil to hard rock, and has broad application prospects.
