Large Diameter HDD Pipe Installations and HDD Assist Techniques

As the transmission side of the energy industry continues to expand, the demand for larger and longer natural gas and oil pipeline installations has increased significantly. Large diameter HDD pipeline projects are growing in number. But, with any type of pipeline installation, the larger the project, the greater the chance there is of running into problems. More and more pipeline contractors are trying to mitigate potential problems on their large diameter HDD projects by adding a pipe rammer to their job site equipment list in order to react quickly with pipe ramming HDD Assist techniques when problems arise. Several pipe ramming techniques have been introduced that are helping drill operators solve drilling problems and tackle tough conditions. The techniques are changing the way drillers approach projects and respond to problems on the job.
