What is Horizontal Boring?
Horizontal boring is the process of drilling two holes at the same level and using one hole to pull out rock, while the other hole is used to insert the drill. The process is commonly used in mining, pipe laying, and other tasks requiring creating trenches with the least physical invasion possible.
How Do You Steer a Horizontal Boring Drill?
An experienced operator can steer the drill around at varying speeds, directions and controlling feed rates. The angle of attack would also vary depending on the type of horizontal boring equipment being used.
All horizontal boring drill heads have electronics that send out a radio signal, which receivers above the project site will receive, allowing them to detect the drill head’s position underground. Machine operators work with drill operators to indicate the drill’s directions or use an advanced drill’s onboard locator for the task.
What is a Horizontal Boring Drilling Pipe?
A drilling pipe is made of steel and is used in a horizontal boring mill to make holes in the material. It is important that the pipe be clean and free from rust, especially because it will be coated with lubricating fluid during operation.
When used in conjunction with the horizontal drilling machine, the drilling pipe is connected to a drill bit to cut through rock and soil. The drill pipe, also referred to as the drill string, is threaded through the well's casing and anchored at either end.
How Do You Compare Stand-Alone and Remote Horizontal Boring Drills?
A standalone horizontal boring drill uses a motor to rotate the boring head. A remote horizontal boring drill uses an electric motor to rotate the boring head. In addition, a standalone horizontal boring drill can use a Morse code signal or other alternative communication bridge for depth measurement. In contrast, a remote horizontal drilling machine does not use depth measurement.
