Detailed explanation of the steps for using a horizontal directional drilling rig!
Jan 05, 2024| Step 1: Check the equipment Before starting the horizontal directional drilling rig, you need to carefully check whether the equipment is normal. Including checking whether the machine body, drill pipe, drill bit, control system, power system, hydraulic system, etc. are intact and whether there are looseness, wear, cracks or other faults.
Step 2: Setting up the horizontal directional drill at the work site requires adequate ventilation and lighting, and the work is usually carried out outdoors. Corresponding maintenance and cleaning equipment also need to be arranged at the work site so that quick repairs and cleaning can be carried out when needed.
Step 3: Prepare drill rods and drill bits. When preparing drill rods and drill bits, the corresponding types of rods and drill bits should be selected according to the work requirements. When installing and fixing drill bits, attention needs to be paid to proper control of the size and fixing strength to avoid equipment failure or substandard construction quality.
Step 4: Start the equipment and locate the drilling position. When starting the horizontal directional drilling rig, the procedures, operating standards and precautions in the equipment operation manual should be followed to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The positioning of the drilling location needs to be combined with ground markers, wires or other instruments to ensure the accuracy and depth of the drilling.
Five steps: Drilling After sending the drill bit to the drilling position, you need to select the appropriate rotation speed according to the design requirements, and slowly push in and pull back the drill pipe to prevent the drill bit from drifting or being damaged until the designed hole depth and diameter are reached.
Six Steps: Cleaning and Sampling After completing the drilling, you need to use a hydraulic pump or air compressor to flush and clean the drilling to accurately locate the geotechnical layer, take samples, etc. Sampling is a relatively sensitive and important link. You need to pay attention to the sampling quantity, sampling depth, holding time, etc.
Seven steps: Branch pipe installation Horizontal directional drilling rig can directly set the branch pipe during the drilling process, eliminating the need for excavation, which improves work efficiency. When installing branch pipes, it is necessary to select the appropriate branch pipe type and quantity according to actual requirements, and determine the depth and angle of the branch pipes.
Step 8: End the work After completing all drilling and branch pipe installation work, you need to shut down the machine, clean the equipment and the work site, including recycling waste, returning or properly keeping the equipment, checking whether the equipment is turned off, etc. This is an important link to ensure that the work is completed, and it is also an important link to ensure safety.
Horizontal directional drilling rig is an efficient, flexible and safe ground construction equipment. It can accurately conduct underground detection and provide a high level of effective guarantee for the smooth progress of subsequent underground construction work. However, when using a horizontal directional drilling rig, you need to pay attention to operating standards and safety matters to avoid hidden dangers and risks.
