discretion
32” 46” 10,14,18,22,26, based on site
30,36,40,46 condition.
All drilling operations will be conducted from the rig side location. The high capacity
rig, situated on the rig side will commence with the pilot bore and drill towards the
exit point location on the other side.

FAH/SHR-9-3013-001 - R1-4-A (OGC)
Bentonite drilling fluid will be utilized in all stages of the drilling operations; all steps
will be taken to minimize any environment impact.
The reaming phase will involve the enlargement of the pilot bore, by means of
backward reaming; this will be in gradual steps to ensure the integrity of the hole.
Once the reaming phase has been concluded, the bore hole will be cleaned and
conditioned by passing a series of barrel reamers through the hole, the number of
passes will be deemed from data received on site.
Once the hole has been conditioned, the higher Ton drilling unit (D 330X 500) will
be connected to the welded product pipes using a swivel and pulled towards the
drilling rig from the exit point location. The swivel allows the drilling rig operator to
rotate the drill string without rotating the pipe. This operation is called pipe pull back
with low pulling force.
Following is the plan for utilization of Rigs for Completion of Works. (D100x120)
will be used to achieve following activities:-
A. Pilot Bore, Complete Reaming and Pulling Operations (for 14” CS Pipe & FOC
conduit)
B. Pilot Bore, Reaming Operations up to 36 inches (for 32” CS pipe)
D 330 X 500, which is 150 Ton Rig, will be used to complete Reaming process
above 36 inch dia hole and until 46 inch dia hole and including pulling of 32 inch
Product pipeline.
In line with detailed design calculation (Settlement), it is established that

considering drilling below 10 meter from Canal bed, only 7.7 mm ground settlement
is estimated and as such will not cause vibration, however It is planned to install a
“Vibration sensor” at the edge of canal to measure the vibration, Instruments
expected to be similar to one use in measuring the vibration during Rock Controlled
Blasting or equivalent one.

FAH/SHR-9-3013-001 - R1-4-A (OGC)
Maximum peak particle velocity shall not be more than 2.5 mm/ sec at any point of
time of HDD process. This shall be recorded and monitored continuously at the
time of drilling and reaming process.
Post Pilot hole successful completion, all reaming passes will be performed using
Recycle of Drilling Rods, based on actual site condition experienced.
8.2.7 Communication & Locating Tools
 For locating process, INROCK wireline HDD locating system (Para track) shall
be used in this proposed HDD crossings.
 Internal Fuild pressure will be monitored continuously throughout drilling and

reaming process.
 For communication between HDD locating technicians and HDD operator, 6 km

range Motorola TLKRT4 model walkie talkie radios will be utilized.
 Refer Procedure- Method statement for Steering Engineer

The HDD operations are to be carried out in three phases:
 Pilot Bore
 Reaming Operation
 Pipe Pulling
8.2.8 The Guided Pilot Hole
The Pilot Bore is the initial phase in the drilling operation. Predetermined design
profiles will govern the path from the entry point location to the exit point location.
The HDD surveyor will mark out and set up the down hole assembly (DHA),
depending on formation and soil conditions.

FAH/SHR-9-3013-001 - R1-4-A (OGC)
A typical motor down hole assembly (DHA) for the HDD rig, comprises of: a 6 3/4”
mud motor complete with a 8 3/4” or 9 7/8 sealed tri-cone bit, an adjustable bent
housing set to
1.83 degrees, non-magnetic drill collars, steering tool often housed within the
nonmagnetic collars and steel 6 5/8” drill pipe.
A Steering tool or survey probe will ensure the integrity of the pilot bore, constantly
transmitting information to an interface box, which converts the signal accordingly
and sends it to the HDD surveyor’s computer situated in the driller’s control cabin.
There are two main systems that are operational in the field today, the Para track II
and the Tru- Tracker Steering Systems.
HDD Contractor will get approval of the pilot hole as built from the Owner before
proceeding to the next phase.
8.2.9 Operation
On completion of the pilot bore, the hole will be enlarged using a sequence of hole-
openers, by backward reaming methodology. The hole will ultimately be opened to
approximately 28” to 46” OD to accommodate the 14” (350mm) + 2 off 4 inch GI
Conduit and 32” (800mm) CS PIPES.
The hole-openers will be attached to the drill string on the pipe side location (SIPC
Side), rotated and pulled towards the entry point and rig side location. By
employing the conventional backward reaming process, the majority of the
Bentonite mud returns and down hole cuttings will exit on the pipe side location.
Once the hole has been sufficiently reamed to size, the reaming assembly will be
removed and replaced with the pipe pulling assembly.
As an option 6 M x 3 M X 3 M slurry pit will be made on both entry and exist sides
with the help of Earth bund, depending on site requirements.
Refer Attachment Appendix E for the reference to Frac out contingency.

FAH/SHR-9-3013-001 - R1-4-A (OGC)
Refer AnnexureE.Contingency Plan for Horizontal Directional Drill
Final Clean Pass with 44” (Barrel Reamer)
Once the final reaming cutter has exited the bore hole, the reamer will be
removed and replaced with the cleaning assembly, only when this operation has
taken place can the cleaning phase commence.
Drill Mud
“Drilling mud” is normally utilized to lubricate the cutting head during
the drilling operation and stabilize the reamed bore path prior to and
during pull-back. The “drilling mud” usually consists of a mixture of fresh
water and bentonite clay; however, other materials such as polymers
and/ or Soda Ash are sometimes used. Same will be decided and
implemented at site based on actual site conditions from stocked quantity
at site. Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay mineral that forms a
mud when mixed with water. Drilling fluids are characterized by their
viscosity, gel strength, filtration, fluid loss, fluid density, pH, and
lubricity. The principal functions of drilling fluids used in HDD are,
1. Transporting drill cuttings to the surface by suspending and carrying

them in slurry that flows in the annulus between the bore wall and the
drill/product pipe.
2. Cleaning build-up on drill bits or reamer cutters by directing fluid
streams at the cutters.

FAH/SHR-9-3013-001 - R1-4-A (OGC)
3. Cooling the down hole tools and electronic equipment

4. Lubricating to reduce the friction between the drill pipe/product and the bore
wall.
5. Stabilizing the bore path, especially in loose or soft soils, by
building a low- permeability filter cake and exerting a positive
hydrostatic pressure against the bore path wall. The filter cake and
positive hydrostatic pressure reduce obstruction of the bore path and
prevent formation fluids (i.e., groundwater) from flowing into the bore,
or drilling fluids from exiting the bore path into the formation (loss of
circulation).
6. For HDD, the proper drilling fluid mixture and delivery pressure is
heavily dependent upon the type of soil encountered. It must be
formulated for the anticipated geological conditions. For simplicity,
soil conditions may be defined as either a coarse soil (sand and
gravel) or a fine soil (clay, silt, and shale). In general, for coarse
soils bentonite should be used, while for fine soils polymers added
to a bentonite.
7. Before start of Drilling operation, Driller in consultation with the Steering
Engineer shall decide upon the anticipated Mud pressure (for hole
envelope) and to maintain the integrity of hole from frac out.
8. In the event of any additives are required to be used in Drilling Fluid,
prior Client/Company approval will be obtained.
Applications/Functions
1) Form a thin filter cake with low permeability
2) Seal down hole instrumentation in test and observation holes
3) Reduce filtrate invasion into permeable formations
4) Improve hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluid
5) Provide lubricity for drilling fluids
6) Mix with fresh water to form a low-solids drilling fluid for general drilling
applications
7) Mix with foaming agents to make "gel/foam" drilling fluids for
air/foam drilling applications.
Advantages
1) Single-sack product and cost effective
2) Mixes easily and quickly reaches maximum viscosity

FAH/SHR-9-3013-001 - R1-4-A (OGC)
3) Excellent for environment in drilling potable water wells

4) Yields more than twice viscosity as an equal weight of API oilfield grades
of Benton.
5) Added MSDS sheets of Bentonite and Polymer for your reference.
Disposal of Bentonite or Drilling Mud :
Although the bentonite-water, or commonly used polymer-water, slurry is not inherently a

hazardous material. In order to maintain a neat, orderly work site, occasional small pits
must be available for collecting the excess drilling fluid or slurry exiting from the bore hole.
A clean work site will help ensure the installation of a clean product pipe, reducing the
need to later flush out mud or debris from within the pipe and provide a safe work area.
In our case, we shall use Vermeer R9X12T Mud reclaimer (catalogue attached) to recycle
the bentonite fluid. The dry sand discharged from mud reclaimer can be shifted safely with
Six Wheel trucks and the excess bentonite slurry collected in the entry / exit pits during
HDD operation can be removed by using sucking tankers as well.
Excessive drilling fluid and mud in the area may impair the connections and associated
grounding characteristics of the equipotential grid mat system. Pits may already be present
or required such as for utility access or connections at the ends or along the bore, thereby
serving as convenient receptacles. If not otherwise present, small pits shall be provided at
the ends, and possible intermediate points to serve this function. The pits shall be emptied
as necessary.
Removal of Debris
Once the pipe is pulled and pipe string is installed and the puller is detached from the
pipe, both pits can be cleaned from any drilling leftovers such as water, drilling Mud in
line with approved SIPC disposal procedure and also in compliance with applicable
Municipality having jurisdiction (as applicable), to facilitate Tie-ins with pipeline
section.

FAH/SHR-9-3013-001 - R1-4-A (OGC)
Post HDD works
Post pulling the pipeline section, area will be reinstated to original dimensions.
As already explained Bentonite slurry dozed with required additives is used in the
HDD and forms a mud cake around the installed pipe as annulus. In view of the
environment friendly characteristics of the Bentonite and the additives (Polymer and
Soda Ash) are used, the surplus left over Bentonite slurry will be just like any ordinary
sand. It dries out in one day and easily blends with the soil. The main component is
clay from the earth made in to fine powder so it will be easily absorbed in the soil
without any harmful effect. In city areas, the waste bentonite slurry shall be shifted by
using sucking tankers.
Post HDD work completion, HDD pipe section will be tied in with main pipeline
section in compliance with approved Method statement and work procedure.
REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-DISRUPTIVE ROAD CROSSINGS (NDRC)
A) Monitoring System in respect of Crossings of Municipality Roads
For purposes of monitoring for ground surface movement on the roadway, suitable
marking shall be made in a grid pattern with approximately 2.0 meter centers.
The monitoring points shall cover the entire width of the roadway along the drive and shall
extend outwards in each direction to a short distance of the depth below the road surface.
Contractor (MAIN CONTRACTOR) shall conduct survey at all monitoring points and
record in the drawings the precise survey information on each point:
 Prior to commencement of NDRC construction.

 Upon completion of NDRC construction.
 At a subsequent time after completion of NDRC construction to ensure there is no
settlement of the road surfaces.

FAH/SHR-9-3013-001 - R1-4-A (OGC)

are as follows:
v) Soil Investigation data
D. CALCULATIONS:
1 OVERBURDEN PRESSURE AND COLLAPSE PRESSURE

The collapse pressure is determined from the theoretical elastic curve equation
Pc = 2E / [(1-µ2)(D/t)(D/t-1)2 ]
Where: D/t = 35.56 / 1.11 = 32.04
= 145.22 kg/cm2
The collapse pressure, Pc = 145.22 kg/cm2
Ovality compensation factor = A/4pi(3V/4pi)⅔

f₀ = 0.4 Where: A - Area; V - Volume
Tension pull reduction factor theoritically

fr =0.25 So the Pipe is safe
The maximum overburden pressure

Po = (h*Db + hs*Ds + hw*Dw)
Po = 1750 x 0.0012 + 1750 x 0.00185 + 450 x 0.001
= 5.79 kg/cm2
Po/Pc = 3.99%
Since Overburden is only 3.99% of Collapse Pressure, Pipe is safe
2. BOUYANCY OF PIPE
Pipe Volume
Displacement of pipeline in drilling mud where volume
V, = 3.14 (D)(D)/4
D = 35.56 cm
V = 993.15 cc/linear cm.
Buoyancy
Buoyancy in drilling mud where mud density
B = Volume of Mud Displacement by pipe x mud density
= V x Db
B = 993.15 x 0.0012
= 1.192 kg/cm
Net Buoyancy
Net buoyancy when pipeline is empty and fully submerged
= B-W or 1.192 - 0.943
= 0.249
= 0.2487 kg/cm force
3 COATING STRESSES
The maximum shear stress in the pipeline coating during installation depends upon relative movements
of the pipeline and the surrounding soil. Using bentonite mud, the low-friction soil-coating interface
will be at a minimum.
Coating Failure Check
PE coatings Resistance = 2.5 kg/sq.cm. Std. Peel Test Value
Longitudinal Soil Stress. t = t = N(2-sin d)tan d
where ,
N is the force normal to the pipeline due to buoyancy
Net buoyancey force = 0.2487 kg/ cm
Friction Angle (d) = 30 (as per soil investigation report)
N = Net buoyancy force/(30/360*3.14*D)
= 0.0267 kg/sq.cm.
2-sin 30o = 1.5
t = (N x 1.5 x tan(30)
= 0.0231 kg/sq.cm.
Which is negligible as compared to the adhesive force of 2.5 kg/sq.cm that is 0.926%
So, Coating is safe.
4. Max Tensile Stress During Pull

Allowable stress = 90 % of SMYS
T = 0.9 x S x As
= 4,96,131.66 kg
Check for Tensile Stress
Max long stress that can be applied by Rig = 150 Tons
Page 2 of 8
are as follows:
= 150000 / As
= 1248.62 kg/sq.cm.
Percentage of SMYS = 27.21% of SMYS
Since Max. Tensile Stress is within limits and thus SAFE
Check for Bending Stress
For Long Bending Stress During installation at ROC = 120000 cm
= Ec/r E = modulus of elasticity
= 302.10 kg/cm2 c = distance of natural axis from edge of section
Percentage of Total SMYS = 6.58% of SMYS r = radius of curvature (ROC)
Hence Long. Bending Sress at above radius is safe.
5. Radius of Curvature Calculations
A. Before Installation
Pulling Load = 0 kg
Bending Load = 90 % of SMYS during Overbend or on rollers
Hoop Stresses = 90 % of SMYS on ground before overbend
Before Installation
Min Radius for Temporary Pipe Handling
Limiting SMYS = 90%
Bending Stress S = Ec/r
or R = 8778 cm
= 87.78 meters
B. During Installation
Max Pulling Load = 150 Tons

P=F/As = 1,248.617 kg/sqcm
Bending Stress Radius 120000 cm
= 302.10 kg/sqcm
Hydrotest Stress = 0.00 kg/sqcm
TOTAL Stress = 1550.71 kg/sqcm
Total Percent of SMYS = 33.79%
C. After Installation (Post Hydrotesting will be done at this stage)

Bending Stress at ROC = Ec/R
Longitudinal Stress at Test Pressure = pd/4t
Pulling Load = 0
Min Radius for Permanent Pipe Installation
As per ANSI B 31.4 factor of 1.85
Permanent Radius of Curvature - R = Ec/(0.75.S.SMYS-pd/4t)
Where S is design factor of 0.72
= 36251677.56 / [ 2478 - 1196.45 ]
= 28289.28 cm
= 282.893 meters
Taking 10% higher ROC = 311.2 meters
Permanent Radius Calc Check:
= 302.10 kg/sqcm

= 1196.45 kg/sqcm
Total Stresses = 1498.55 kg/sqcm

Stresses as Percent of SMYS = 32.66%
6. Combined Equivalent . Stresses

A: Before Installation
Page 3 of 8
are as follows:
Hoop Stress Sh = pd/2t
Test Pressure Pt = 266.27 kg/sqcm
= 4265.07 kg/sqcm
= 92.95% of SMYS
Bending Moment for Pipe at 1200 cm Supports

= Ww.L2/12
= 2,17,932.00 kg-cm
Bending Stress Sb = BM/Polar MI
= 217.196 kg/sqcm
Combined Long Stress Sl1 = m x Sh + Sb Or m x Sh - Sb

= 1279.52 + 217.20 = 1279.52 - 217.20
2
= 1496.72 kg/cm = 1062.33 kg/cm2
Resultant Eq. Stress

Resultant 1 = Sqrt (Sl12- Sl1xSh+Sh2) Or Sqrt (Sl12- Sl1xSh+Sh2)
= 3747.98 kg/cm2 3845.58 kg/cm2
= 81.68% of SMYS 83.80% of SMYS
B: After Installation
Pressure at Final Hydrotest = 149.39 kg/cm2
Hoop Stress Sh = 2392.90 kg/cm2
Bending stress at give radius Sb = Ec/r
= 302.10 kg/cm2
Combined Long Stress Sl1 = m x Sh - Ea.dT + Sb
= 717.87 - 0.00 + 302.10
= 1019.97 kg/cm2
Combined Long Stress Sl2 = m x Sh - Ea.dT - Sb

= 717.87 - 0.00 - 302.10
= 415.77 kg/cm2
Resultant 1 = Sqrt (Sl12- Sl1xSh+Sh2) VON MISES' EQUATION
= 2079.81 kg/cm2
= 45.32% of SMYS
Resultant 2 = Sqrt (Sl22- Sl2xSh+Sh2)
= 2214.48 kg/cm2
= 48.26% of SMYS
C: During Operation
Operating Pressure = 89.74 kg/cm2
= 1437.46
= 302.10 kg/cm2
= 431.24 - 238.55 + 302.10
= 494.78 kg/cm2

= 431.24 - 238.55 - 302.10
= -109.41 kg/cm2
= 1264.86 kg/cm2
= 27.56% of SMYS
= 1495.17 kg/cm2
= 32.58% of SMYS
Page 4 of 8
are as follows:
7 ROLLER SPACING DURING PULL

Allowable Bending Moment for Roller Spacing = 90% SMYS
= 4129.86 kg/cm2
Max Tensile force that can be applied = 150 tons
P=F/As = 1,248.62 kg/cm2
Available Stress for Bending Fb = 2881.24 kg/cm2
Bending Moment = Z*Fb

28,91,003.82 kg-cm
This bending moment will determine the roller spacing
For Simple spans (In between Rollers) BM = wL2/12

Where w is the weight of pipe in air
Max spacing between rollers = L = sqrt ( 28,91,003.82 x 12 / 0.943 )
= 6065.26 cm
= 60.653 meters max
For Cantilever (On last Roller) BM = wL2/2

Max spacing between rollers = L = sqrt ( 28,91,003.82 x 2/ 0.943 )
= 2476.13 cm
= 24.761 meters max
8 PULLING REQUIREMENTS
Pulling loads is divided into 3 main forces. Viz:
= Fluid Drag Resistance + Soil Drag Resistance + Fluid Weight on Pull Head
= pDLf + f'wL + DbhA
= 11797.108 + 10725.98 + 2085.6
= 24608.70 kg
= 24.61 Tons
Total Pulling Force Required = 27.07 Tons cosidering safety factor 1.1
% of Force Required to Rig Capacity = 18.05%

D. CALCULATIONS:
1 OVERBURDEN PRESSURE AND COLLAPSE PRESSURE

The collapse pressure is determined from the theoretical elastic curve equation
Pc = 2E / [(1-µ2)(D/t)(D/t-1)2 ]
Where: D/t = 81.28 / 1.91 = 42.55
= 60.98 kg/cm2
The collapse pressure, Pc = 60.98 kg/cm2
Ovality compensation factor = A/4pi(3V/4pi)⅔

f₀ = 0.4 Where: A - Area; V - Volume
Tension pull reduction factor theoritically

fr =0.25 So the Pipe is safe
The maximum overburden pressure

Po = (h*Db + hs*Ds + hw*Dw)
Po = 1750 x 0.0012 + 1750 x 0.00185 + 450 x 0.001
= 5.79 kg/cm2
Po/Pc = 9.49%
Since Overburden is only 9.49% of Collapse Pressure, Pipe is safe
2. BOUYANCY OF PIPE
Pipe Volume
Displacement of pipeline in drilling mud where volume
V, = 3.14 (D)(D)/4
D = 81.28 cm
V = 5,188.68 cc/linear cm.
Buoyancy
Buoyancy in drilling mud where mud density
B = Volume of Mud Displacement by pipe x mud density
= V x Db
B = 5,188.68 x 0.0012
= 6.226 kg/cm
Net Buoyancy
Net buoyancy when pipeline is empty and fully submerged
= B-W or 6.226 - 3.739
= 2.488
= 2.4878 kg/cm force
3 COATING STRESSES
The maximum shear stress in the pipeline coating during installation depends upon relative movements
of the pipeline and the surrounding soil. Using bentonite mud, the low-friction soil-coating interface
will be at a minimum.
Coating Failure Check
PE coatings Resistance = 2.5 kg/sq.cm. Std. Peel Test Value
Longitudinal Soil Stress. t = t = N(2-sin d)tan d
where ,
N is the force normal to the pipeline due to buoyancy
Net buoyancey force = 2.4878 kg/ cm
Friction Angle (d) = 30 (as per soil investigation report)
N = Net buoyancy force/(30/360*3.14*D)
= 0.1169 kg/sq.cm.
2-sin 30o = 1.5
t = (N x 1.5 x tan(30)
= 0.1013 kg/sq.cm.
Which is negligible as compared to the adhesive force of 2.5 kg/sq.cm that is 4.050%
So, Coating is safe.
4. Max Tensile Stress During Pull

Allowable stress = 90 % of SMYS
T = 0.9 x S x As
= 19,66,864.68 kg
Check for Tensile Stress
Max long stress that can be applied by Rig = 150 Tons
Page 2 of 5
= 150000 / As
= 314.96 kg/sq.cm.
Percentage of SMYS = 6.86% of SMYS
Since Max. Tensile Stress is within limits and thus SAFE
Check for Bending Stress
For Long Bending Stress During installation at ROC = 120000 cm
= Ec/r E = modulus of elasticity
= 690.51 kg/cm2 c = distance of natural axis from edge of section
Percentage of Total SMYS = 15.05% of SMYS r = radius of curvature (ROC)
Hence Long. Bending Sress at above radius is safe.
5. Radius of Curvature Calculations

Limiting SMYS = 90%
Bending Stress S = Ec/r
or R = 20064 cm
= 200.64 meters
B. During Installation
Max Pulling Load = 150 Tons

P=F/As = 314.957 kg/sqcm

DYNAMIC LOAD CALCULATION FOR DRILLING

Pilot bore profile
 Pipe Dia (D) = 32 inch

 Pipe Grade = X65 Grade
 Length of Crossing (L) = 275m
 Max depth of crossing (h) = 17.5m
 Soil Density (Ds) = 1850 Kg/m3
 Water Density (Dw) = 1000 Kg/m3
ISSUE:
The drilling is laid by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), under the canal may collapse the canal due to dynamic
load.
INTRODUCTION:
To prove that there won’t be any damage to the canal during installation of 32 inch pipe in 48 inch reamed hole.
To analyse the dynamic load Of 32 inch pipe during installation.
EXPLANATION:
Considering the apprehensions of canal, following explanation/ measures are being proposed by us to resolve the
issues: -
We were decided to do the drilling by HDD instead of open cut trench method. This will minimize the creation of pits
to only entry & exit pits (3m x3m) required only at an interval of >300 m.
It may be noted, while drilling by HDD, the annular space in drilled hole remains filled with bentonite and remains of
reamed earth. The water in the bentonite slurry eventually dries out. The bentonite slurry during the process of pilot
hole drilling/reaming is being pushed into the surrounding soil at a very high pressure. The kinetic energy of the
pressurized bentonite slurry shall be converted into the potential energy of the surrounding soil causing compression
and compaction, resulting in stabilization of canal.
The bentonite seeps in leaving a hard shell of bentonite clay solids around the surrounding soil leaving very small
voids. The bentonite shell has stiffness associated with it which keeps the canal intact and prevents the canal from
collapse during the process of HDD. Further annular space which is already filled with solidified bentonite shall be
further consolidated by natural interaction of soil, bentonite in due course of drilling time. As the drilling is being laid
at a depth of 10 m below canal bottom level, negligible loads shall get transmitted at the canal levels.
Further, arching effect in the surrounding soil contributes to the stability of the canal during & after installation
because of the arching behaviour of the soil. The arching behaviour of the soil results in further reducing the vertical
soil load which minimizes the chances of any collapse. While drilling the arching effect stays intact. As a result, the
arching around the canal is permanent as is the reduced vertical soil load. Pre- compression of soil during process of
reaming also adds to the stability of reamed hole in addition to the arching effect mentioned above. Though there
will be no effect on the stability of canal due to while drilling by HDD method.
CONCLUSION
Since technically there are no issues while drilling under the canal by HDD method, shall not cause any damage to
the canal, hence it is once again requested to grant permission for drilling under the canal by HDD method.
Note: See the mathematical calculation on the next page.

Mathematical Calculation
The objective of this below details is to mathematically calculate and explain the actual stresses transmitted in the
soil, based on the already established theories.
VERTICAL STRESS BELOW APPLIED LOAD

As per Boussinesq Equation, the vertical stress directly below the point load on its axis of loading at certain Depth
shall be calculated as
0.4775 Q / 𝑧 2
Where,
Q = Wheel Load
z = depth
In the present case, Q is assumed as 6525 kg (6.525 Tonne) and vertical stress is calculated at 10m depth
Vertical Stress at 10m depth = 0.4775 x 6525 / (10 x 10) = 31.15 kg/m2
Wheel load assumption:

When buried pipes are installed, principles of analysis for single pipes still apply. Soil cover must be greater than
minimum. However, the design of buried pipes requires an additional analysis for heavy surface loads. Above the live
load effect was found by the Boussinesq equation. As per Boussinesq equation ‘Q’ is assumed to be a point load
directly over the pipe. If wheel load ‘Q’ is assumed to be a distributed surface pressure, the Newmark integration
can be used.
ARCHING OF SOIL
Based on the theory of Terzaghi (1943) it is considered that arching occurs when the thickness of the soil mass
extending above the pipe is larger than 4 times the width of the soil column in shear (2B1). The width
1 1
𝐵1 = 𝐷0 + 𝐷0 × tan 45° − 𝜑 Is defined as:
2 2
With:
B1 is half the width of the soil column in shear m
Do is the outside diameter of product pipe m
Φ is the internal angle of friction °
In case of HDD sections, the contribution of the vertical inter-granular pressure at soil covers H > 8B1 (when arching
is assumed), the actual vertical inter-granular pressure at top of pipe level is reduced considerably.
Based on the above figure, it can be noted that for soil columns extending above the pipe smaller than 8B1 the
actual vertical inter-granular pressure is taken into account. For larger soil columns arching will occur and the vertical
inter-granular pressure then is assumed to be zero.
In the present case, outside diameter of Product Pipe 32’’ i.e. 0.8128 m and assumed internal angle of friction is 30
degrees.
Therefore B1 = 0.5 x 0.8128 + 0.8128 x tan (45° – 0.5 x30°) = 0.875 m
So, 8 B1 = 8 x 0.875 m = 7 m from ground level.
Hence, arching effect will occur at a depth of 7 m for 32 inch pipe in 48 inch reamed hole. So the pressure will not be
transmitted to the pipe.
Hypothesis:
The main characteristics of arches are the presence of Horizontal thrust induced at the support because of
unyielding supports which prevents the curved sections from straightening under vertical loads. The horizontal
thrust acts towards the arch. It produces compression stresses at all sections of the arch.
Analogy:
In the present case, annular space in the reamed hole behaves similar to arch. The presence of horizontal thrust
induced at the supports because of surrounding soil prevents the curved section from straightening under already
reduced vertical loads (account of arching effect of soil). The surrounding soil acts towards the soil resulting in
compression stresses at all sections of the soil above the annular space. This results in overall stability of soil above
the reamed hole.

FRAC-OUT CONTINGENCY PLAN

Introduction
Gulf Engineering Projects is engaged in Horizontal Directional Drilling Projects in the Sultanate of Oman. The
company is drilling under paved roads, Wadis and Water Canals. One of the few issues involved in HDD is
bentonite frac out which is mainly due to non-return of the slurry to the entry or exit pits.
Installation of HDEP/M.S pipes would include the use of trenchless excavation methods known as a guided
bore. This widely used technique accomplishes the installation of buried utilities with minimal impact, by
routing the utility under a sensitive feature (such as a stream, river or wetland). The guided bore procedure uses
bentonite slurry, a fine clay material as a drilling lubricant (drilling mud). Although bentonite is non-toxic, a
potential environmental risk associated with conducting guided bores under sensitive features occurs when
bentonite is released to the surface during construction (sometimes referred to as “frac-out”). The objective of
this frac-out contingency plan is to:
1. Minimize the potential for a frac-out associated with HDD activities;
2. Provide for the timely detection of frac-outs;
3. Ensure an organized, timely, and “minimum-impact” response in the event a frac-out and release of
drilling mud occur
Measures to be used as part of the contingency plan include site inspection, proper training of the HDD crews,
development of response procedures, provision of containment materials, and implementation of appropriate
clean up procedures. These measures are described in detail below:
Site Personnel Responsibilities
Our crew has overall responsibility for implementing this Frac-out Contingency Plan (FCP). The personnel
would be familiar with the aspects of the drilling activity, the contents of the FCP and the conditions of approval
under which the activity is permitted to take place. The crew members would provide a copy of this plan to the
appropriate construction personnel. They would ensure that workers are properly trained and familiar with the
necessary procedures for response to a frac-out, prior to initiation of drilling operations. We would provide the
anticipated schedule of boring operations around protected streams, roads and canals to the site inspector
responsible for the HSE officer prior to commencement of work.
The crew would be notified promptly when a frac-out is detected. The client would also be notified promptly, as
described below, when a frac-out is detected. The site supervisor a n d the HSE officer would have the authority
to stop work and commit the resources (personnel and equipment) necessary to implement this plan.
C.R: 1264479 P O BOX 2033, P.C 133 M:+968 95111511/96279120 O/F: 220 999 28
The crew on site and/or the site supervisor are responsible for promptly notifying the HSE officer of the
frac-out, and coordinating personnel to oversee proper clean-up and disposal of recovered material.
The HSE officer would be on the right-of-way, available during drilling operations to consult with boring
personnel and conduct inspections. The HSE officer would inspect the drilling operation for the purpose of
identifying signs of frac-out and would coordinate with the site Supervisor to implement the appropriate
measures to address a frac-out. Should a frac-out occur, the HSE officer would evaluate the situation and would
determine the appropriate level of response to the incident based on the guidelines contained in this FCP. The
HSE officer would consult with the client , who is the pipeline contractor , to determine appropriate measures to
contain and clean up inadvertent returns, and operational controls to prevent a reoccurrences such as reducing
mud pressure, changing drilling rate, change in mud viscosity, etc.
During operation of a bored crossing, pipeline construction personnel would monitor the pipeline drill path
throughout the process. Field crews would provide timely notifications and responses to observed frac-outs
in accordance with procedures identified in this FCP.
Training
Prior to the start of drilling, the site supervisor and HSE officer would verify that the construction field crew
members receive the following site-specific training: review provisions of the FCP, equipment maintenance
and site-specific permit and monitoring requirements; review location of sensitive environmental resources at
the site and relevant permit conditions; review inspection procedures for frac-out prevention and be familiar
with containment equipment and materials; review crew obligation to temporarily suspend forward progress of
the drilling upon first evidence of the occurrence of a frac-out and to report any frac-outs to the HSE officer ;
review operation of frac-out control equipment and the location of frac-out control materials, as necessary and
appropriate; and review protocols for reporting observed frac-outs and communication with appropriate
regulatory agencies.
Response
In the event a frac-out is observed during a bored crossing, the frac-out would be assessed to determine the
amount of slurry being released and potential for the frac-out to reach a surface water body. Response measures
would vary based on the location of frac-out as described below.
Wetland Location
• Temporarily suspend forward drilling and promptly notify the site supervisor and HSE officer.
• As soon as practicable after a frac-out event occurs in a site, notify the client As long as such
notification is possible through mobile phone and it does not interfere with response activities, the client
would be notified within two (2) hours of the Frac-Out event.
C.R: 1264479 P O BOX 2033, P.C 133 M:+968 95111511/96279120 O/F: 220 999 28
• The site Supervisor and HSE officer would evaluate the frac-outs and, in consultation with the crew on
site and client where practicable, implement appropriate response and cleanup measures. Frac-out
slurries in or adjacent to the site would be removed to the extent practical and the area restored to its
previous condition. Efforts to contain and recover slurry on affected site may result in further
disturbance by equipment and personnel, and possibly offset the benefit gained in removing the slurry.
Because it is difficult to predict the effect of a frac-out and attempts to recover the slurry, frac-out on
site would be evaluated on a case-by- case basis, and an appropriate level of response would be
implemented.
• If the amount of the frac-out slurry is too small to allow the practical physical collection from the
affected area, it would be diluted with fresh water and/or the fluid would be allowed to dry and dissipate
naturally.
• If the amount of the slurry exceeds that which can be contained with hand-placed barriers, small
collection sumps (less than 5 cubic yards) may be used to remove the slurry.
• If the amount of the slurry exceeds that which can be contained and collected using small sumps,
drilling operations would be suspended until the frac-out can be brought under control.
• The slurry would be stored in a temporary holding tank or other suitable structure, out of the stie area
and 30 meter buffer, for reuse or disposal.
In-Stream Locations
We have designed the bore to minimize the potential for frac-out in the canal. However, if an inadvertent frac-
out is observed, the following measures would be implemented:
• Temporarily suspend forward progress and notify the site supervisor and HSE officer. The HSE officer
would monitor the extent of the frac-out slurry plume.
• As soon as practicable after a frac-out event in the canal, notify the appropriate client staff. As long as
such notification is possible (e.g., there is cell phone service) and it does not interfere with response
activities, the client would be notified within two (2) hours of the Frac-Out event.
• Initiate containment measures and recovery of the frac-out slurry as appropriate. Containment is not
always feasible for in-stream frac-outs. However, conditions would be assessed as to whether hand-
placed containment, recovery or other measures, such as silt curtains and turbidity barriers, would be
effective and beneficial at the specific frac-out location. Returns would be contained using sandbags
and contained mud recovered by pumping or other means effectively removing the mud to the best
extent practical.
C.R: 1264479 P O BOX 2033, P.C 133 M:+968 95111511/96279120 O/F: 220 999 28
• Evaluate the current drill profile (e.g., drill pressures, pump volume rates, drilling mud consistency) to
identify means to prevent further frac-out events. Drilling operations would be suspended if the release
poses a threat to human health and safety or the environment.
• Once the return is mitigated and controlled, forward progress of the drilling may resume.
Containment Materials
At a minimum, the following containment, response, and clean-up equipment would be available at each
bored crossing location at the time such crossing occurs:
• sand bags - 10 Nos
• silt fence - 1
• plastic sheeting
• turbidity barriers
• shovels, pails; -1
• JCB - 1
• pumps and sufficient hose
• mud storage tanks -1
*** The decision of the quantity requirements is site based it will be taken by the operator base on site conditions.
Clean Up and Restoration
Site-specific clean up measures would be developed by the HSE officer and the site Supervisor following a frac-
out, in consultation with the client where practicable. Restoration measures should be developed in consultation
with the client prior to the site being restored. However, the following measures are considered appropriate.
• Drilling mud would be cleaned up by hand using hand shovels, buckets and JCB buckets as possible
without causing damage to existing vegetation. Fresh water washes would be employed if deemed
beneficial and feasible.
• Containment structures would be pumped out and the ground surface scraped to bare topsoil without
causing undue loss of topsoil or ancillary damage to existing and adjacent vegetation. Material would be
collected in containers for temporary storage prior to removal from the site.

Documentation
The site Supervisor and HSE officer would record the frac-out event in his or her daily log. The log would
include the following: details of the frac-out incident, location and time of frac-out, the size of the impacted
area, notifications made, summary of the response and the success of the clean-up action.
C.R: 1264479 P O BOX 2033, P.C 133 M:+968 95111511/96279120 O/F: 220 999 28
Horizontal drilling using a wireline system to track the bit position.
A common used wireline system is the ParaTrack II system from Vector Magnetics.
This system has a high end steering tool which is connected to a wireline. The data from the steering
tool is transferred over the wireline to surface. This means you have always real time data from the
steering tool.
The ParaTrack II system is basically a double system.

The steering tool has three Inclinometers, three AC-Magnetometers and a temperature sensor on
board. These sensors are needed to get 3-dimensional readings.
First, it calculate the bit position over the distance that is drilled, using Inclination and Azimuth.
Second, using a coil which is placed on surface.
This coil is a single wire, most of the times 6mm2 cable, depending on the total length of the coil. The
coil will be energised by a special box, called the “Guidance Power Supply”. This box generates an AC-
signal which will generate an electromagnetic field. The coil can be seen as the heartbeat of the
system. Therefore is must be measured with a Total Station or GPS-system. These coordinates are
then put in the RivCross program using a Windows based computer. This program is connected with
an Interface box which then connect, via de wireline inside the drill pipe, with the steering tool. At
the end of every drill pipe, a survey will be taken to track the drill path. This data is projected in a
“Plan View” (Topo View) and “Section View” (Profile View) window.
The steering engineer will check:

 The feasibility of the planned horizontal crossing.
 Advice, if necessary, a new drill plan to increase the change of a successful crossing.
 Set-out the coil in the best possible way, which is a rectangular in a perfect world, under the
circumstances at the jobsite.
 All the data of the proposed drill (AutoCAD drawing)
 Check the ParaTrack II system to make sure it is in a good condition.
 Build the DHA (Down Hole Assembly).
 Set-up the RivCross program and enter the given coordinates from the coil (given by a land
surveyor).
 Give instruction to the driller with regards to the proposed drill.
o When jetting, he will tell the driller the Inclination and Azimuth needed at the end of
the drill pipe.
o When using a mud-motor, the steering engineer will tell the driller how many meters
he needs to rotate or steer in the desired direction.
 At the end of every drill pipe, a survey is taken and processed. This means that the position of
the drill head is checked, to make sure the required drill path is followed. If this is the case,
then the next drill pipe will be installed. If not, corrective action will be taken to correct the
position of the drill head.
 The steering engineer will also make sure that the drill radius is met and stays within the
given limits, therefore the change of a successful product pipe pull will be increased.
 After punch-out, the steering engineer will make the final As-build, so the client will know
where this installed product pipe is in the ground. If provided, it can also be plotted in the
AutoCAD drawing. This is very important for future reference.

combustible. Reacts with acids to release carbon dioxide gas and heat. May irritate skin and eyes. Dusts
may irritate respiratory tract. Not expected to be toxic to the environment, nor to aquatic organisms.
Avoid simultaneous exposure to soda ash and lime dust. In the presence of moisture (i.e. perspiration)
the two materials combine to form caustic soda (NaOH), which may cause burns.
Page | 1
Potential Health Effects: Skin Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation (red, dry, cracked skin). Eyes
Irritating to the eyes. Ingestions although low in toxicity, ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, stomach
ache, and diarrhea.
Inhalation: Prolonged inhalation of product dusts may irritate nose, throat, and lungs.
Chronic Effects: Excessive, long term contact may produce “soda ulcers” on hands and perforation of the
nasal septum.
Sensitivity reactions may occur from prolonged and repeated exposure.
This product does not contain any ingredient designated by IARC, NTP, ACGIH or OSHA as probable or
suspected human carcinogens.
4. First Aid Measures:
Skin: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation occurs and Persists.
Eyes: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes lifting the upper and lower eyelids
intermittently. See a medical doctor or ophthalmologist as necessary.
Ingestions: Rinse mouth with water. Dilute by giving 1 or 2 glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Contact a doctor or poison control center. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or
discomfort occurs and persists, obtain medical attention. Advice to Physician While internal toxicity is low,
irritant effects of high concentrations may produce corneal opacities, and vesicular skin reactions in
humans with abraded skin only. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.

6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Refer to Section 8 “Exposure Controls / Personal Protection”
Containment: Prevent large quantities of this product from contacting vegetation or waterways; large
spills could kill vegetation and fish.
Clean Up: This product, if spilled, can be recovered and re-used if contamination does not present a
problem. Vacuum or sweep up the material. If the spilled product is unusable due to contamination,
consult state or federal environmental agencies for acceptable disposal procedures and locations. See
Section 13 “Disposal Considerations”.
Notification Requirements: Federal regulations do not require notification for spills of this product. State
and local regulations may contain different requirements; consult local authorities.
7. Handling and Storage Handling:
Use air conveying / mechanical systems for bulk transfer to storage. For manual handling of bulk transfer
use mechanical ventilation to remove airborne dust from railcar, ship or truck.
Use approved respiratory protection when ventilation systems are not available. Selection of respirators
is based on the dust cloud generation. Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains.
Avoid eye contact or prolonged skin contact. Avoid breathing dusts. When dissolving, add to water
cautiously and with stirring; solutions can get hot. Use good personal hygiene and housekeeping.
Storage: Store in a cool dry area, away from acids. Prolonged storage may cause product to cake from
atmospheric moisture.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Engineering Controls:
Where possible, provide general mechanical and/or local exhaust ventilation to prevent release of
airborne dust into the work environment.
Eye wash facility should be provided in storage and general work area.
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes and Face: For dusty or misty conditions, or when handling solutions
where there is reasonable probability of eye contact, wear chemical safety goggles and hardhat.
Under these conditions do not wear contact lenses. Otherwise, appropriate eye and face protection
equipment (ANSI Z87 approved) should be selected for the particular use intended for this material.
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Respiratory: Whenever dust in the worker’s breathing zone cannot be controlled with ventilation or other
engineering means, workers should wear respirators or dust masks approved by NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN or
comparable certification organization to protect them against airborne dust.
Page | 3
Hands, Arms, and Body: Wear long-sleeve shirt and trousers, and impervious gloves for routine product
use. Cotton gloves are sufficient for dry product; wear impervious (e.g., rubber, neoprene, etc.) gloves
when handling solutions.
Exposure Guidelines: Federal guidelines treat the ingredient(s) in this product as a nuisance dust, as no
product-specific guidelines have been issued for exposure. As with all nuisance dusts, worker breathing
zone concentrations should be measured by validated sampling and analytical methods. The following
limits (OSHA and MSHA) apply to this material: Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated: OSHA (PEL / TWA):
15 mg/m3 (total dust); 5 mg/m3 (rasp fraction) MSHA (PEL / TWA): 10 mg/m3 (total dust) Avoid
simultaneous exposure to soda ash and lime dust. In the presence of moisture (i.e. perspiration) the two
materials combine to form caustic soda (NaOH), which may cause burns.The information noted above
provides general guidance for handling this product. Specific work environments and material handling
practices will dictate the selection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

16. OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION:

Social Dialogue on Respirable Crystalline Silica:
A multi-sectoral social dialogue agreement on Workers Health Protection through the Good Handling and Use of
Crystalline Silica and Products Containing it was signed on 25 April 2006. This autonomous agreement, which receives
the European Commission’s financial support, is based on a Good Practices Guide. The requirements of the Agreement
came into force on 25 October 2006. The Agreement was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2006/C
279/02). The text of the Agreement and its annexes, including the Good Practices Guide, are available from
http://www.nepsi.eu and provide useful information and guidance for the handling of products containing respirable
crystalline silica. Literature references are available on request from EUROSIL, the European Association of Industrial
Silica Producers.
Prolonged and/or massive exposure to respirable crystalline silica-containing dust may cause silicosis, a nodular
pulmonary fibrosis caused by deposition in the lungs of fine respirable particles of crystal. In 1997, IARC (the International
Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that crystalline silica inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer
in humans. However it pointed out that not all industrial circumstances, nor all crystalline silica types, were to be
incriminated. (IARC Monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risks of chemicals to humans, Silica, silicates dust
and organic fibres, 1997, Vol. 68, IARC, Lyon, France.) In June 2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational
Exposure Limits) concluded that the main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is So there
is a body of evidence supporting the fact that increased cancer risk would be limited to people already suffering from
silicosis. Worker protection against silicosis should be assured by respecting the existing regulatory occupational
exposure limits and implementing additional risk management measures where required (see section 16 below).

16. OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION:

Social Dialogue on Respirable Crystalline Silica:
A multi-sectoral social dialogue agreement on Workers Health Protection through the Good Handling and Use of
Crystalline Silica and Products Containing it was signed on 25 April 2006. This autonomous agreement, which receives
the European Commission’s financial support, is based on a Good Practices Guide. The requirements of the Agreement
came into force on 25 October 2006. The Agreement was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2006/C
279/02). The text of the Agreement and its annexes, including the Good Practices Guide, are available from
http://www.nepsi.eu and provide useful information and guidance for the handling of products containing respirable
crystalline silica. Literature references are available on request from EUROSIL, the European Association of Industrial
Silica Producers.
Prolonged and/or massive exposure to respirable crystalline silica-containing dust may cause silicosis, a nodular
pulmonary fibrosis caused by deposition in the lungs of fine respirable particles of crystal. In 1997, IARC (the International
Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that crystalline silica inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer
in humans. However it pointed out that not all industrial circumstances, nor all crystalline silica types, were to be
incriminated. (IARC Monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risks of chemicals to humans, Silica, silicates dust
and organic fibres, 1997, Vol. 68, IARC, Lyon, France.) In June 2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational
Exposure Limits) concluded that the main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is So there
is a body of evidence supporting the fact that increased cancer risk would be limited to people already suffering from
silicosis. Worker protection against silicosis should be assured by respecting the existing regulatory occupational
exposure limits and implementing additional risk management measures where required (see section 16 below).
