Geotechnical Considerations for Successful HDD Projects- Addressing Geotechnical Conditions in High Performance Engineering Projects

Navigating Rock Shelves and Geotechnical Considerations

See how our SME addresses the complexities of drilling through rock shelves and horizontal rock layers during Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) operations. It highlights the challenges that arise when intersecting rock layers at shallow angles, which can lead to the bit sliding along the surface, causing difficulties in penetration. The segment also emphasizes the importance of full access to geotechnical reports for contractors, ensuring accurate bids and reducing project risks. The video concludes by stressing the need for collaboration and communication among geotechnical engineers, design engineers, and contractors to identify and address potential problems early on, ensuring successful HDD projects. This content is essential for professionals involved in HDD, geotechnical analysis, and project management, providing insights into effective drilling strategies and risk management.
