...-resistant coating that has been used in thousands of directional drill applications for oil, gas, and water pipelines. There has been an evolution in the understanding of technology and its application. The paper looks back on successes and lessons learned for this technology. Based on field and laboratory...

... ABSTRACT The use of horizontal directional drills (HDDs) is an ever-increasing pipeline installation technique. As HDDs increase, there is an increased probability for coating damage, even when coated with traditional mill or field applied abrasion resistant overcoat (ARO). This coating damage...

...Paper No. 18948 MARCH 19-23, 2023 | DENVER, COLORADO Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Method Pipe Update By Joe Pikas Technical Toolboxes AMPP 2023, Denver, CO Abstract Pipeline installation by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) i.e., trenchless technology, has gained popularity over...

... protection. Utilizing Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) to bore under the tank, offered the opportunity to install directly below the tank linear anodes and a portable reference electrode profile tube while remaining in service. This novel approach to installing cathodic protection on existing tanks...

... Abstract As onshore pipeline rights-of-way become more congested and urban sprawl increases, the number of horizontal directional drills (HDDs) will likely increase. HDD is a trenchless pipeline installation method that requires drilling a larger pilot hole where the mainline pipe can...

... Abstract Pipe installed by the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) method is typically unreachable for repair. Thus, the pipe coating needs to survive the initial installation to provide the longest potential for protection. There isn't currently a standard which guides coating selection...
