Pre Plan The Bore Shot
• Accurately plot the bore path, and confirm required clearance between services.
• Some walk over steering systems have provision for planning the bore path in the software, which is then used to guide the locater to carry out more accurate piloting. Otherwise a manual asbuilt should be carried out in preparation for the intended plan.
• Check bore path for interference to Steering Locater System and make allowances.
• For road crossings and drilling under building or structures other location methods needs to determined.

• The Walkover in Ground Positioning

• The Magnetic Wired Steering System
• Gyroscope Navigation Guidance System.
• Laser Guided System

Bore plan must include the ground
conditions to be encountered
• Field inspection of the ground conditions.
• Ground conditions must be monitored whilst
pilot boring. i.e. Rotation and thrust pressure
will confirm the designed mud plan is correct or
needs adjusting to achieve desired results.
• Pre reaming before pipe installation will also
confirm mud design is correct for pipe
installation.

The log sheet results from piloting
and or backreaming
• The log sheet results from piloting and or
backreaming must be used to pre- plan the
drillers mud design – pressure and speed of
pullback for pipe installation.

The drillers log sheet records
1. The drillers log sheet records are the most important Quality Assurance Control for correct installation. The pullback speed must be controlled to match the mudflow. Bore hole diameter less the pipe volume over the flow rate of the drill rig mud pump equals the speed of pullback.
Borehole Volume (Ltr) – Pipe Volume(Ltr)
Mud Pump Capacity (Ltr/min.)

Correct pullback speed
• Too Fast
– Possible Hydrolock
– Mud frackout due to extra downhole pressure
– Lack of mudflow to pipe lead end resulting in voids around the pipe.
• Too Slow
– Mud washout from around the pipe leading to future voids.
