requested. The approval is also subject to the requirements of the Traffic
Department of the Ministry of Interior. Any permits required related to this work
must be handed to the Engineer before work commences.
F. Quality Assurance – General - Prior to the start of the work, submit satisfactory
evidence to the Engineer that all requirements called for by the concerned
authorities have been complied with. All proposed construction methods and
materials for the under crossing shall be approved by the Engineer and
concerned authorities prior to the crossing operation, and no construction shall be
started until written approval to proceed from the concerned authorities has been
submitted to the Engineer.
G. Submittals: Contractor shall submit detailed engineering shop drawings and

method statement for the final layout and elevations of each non-disruptive
crossing. The Contractor shall be responsible for the design and construction of
the crossings.
H. Experience: Contractor shall provide evidence of experience in non-disruptive

construction techniques proposed for pipes the size of this project or larger and
for lengths equal to or longer than on this project. Contractor shall demonstrate
that he or his sub-contractor has a minimum of ten years experience in the use of
HDD methods.

I. Standards: Non-Disruptive Method shall be in conformity with the standards

detailed in the Horizontal Directional Drilling Manual published by the North
American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT). In addition, the
specifications of the US Pipeline Research Committee publication “Installation of
Pipelines by Horizontal Directional Drilling – Engineering Design Guide” (1995)

9 Prefabricated Pulling Heads, swivels, universal joints
9 Butt Fusion Welding Machine
1.74.2 Horizontal Directional Drilling Method

General: The HDD process shall include the installation of launching and reception pits,
boring pilot hole under the road crossing, reaming to enlarge pilot hole to carrier pipe
diameter, application of drilling mud or other lubricating agent as required, and pull
back of carrier pipe through reamed hole.
Routing – Prior to defining the exact route of horizontal directional drilling, the
Contractor shall locate all buried structures and utilities within 3 meters of the proposed
drill-path for mini-HDD applications. The Contractor shall select the crossing route to
keep it to the shortest reasonable distance, where the pipeline can be constructed in one
continuous length; or at least in long multiple segments fused together during insertion
use as straight a drill path as possible, avoid entry and exit elevation differences in
excess of 10 meters. Contractor shall clearly identify space requirements for equipment

and launching of HDD drilling and pipe pull-back works on plans and obtain approval of
Engineer for his proposed site.
Launching / Reception Pits - The Contractor shall select the location of the drive and
reception pits based on required locations as shown on drawings. The location of
launching and reception pits shall in no case be allowed within the road carriageway.
The location of launching and reception pits shall be designed to minimize the number of
curves and maximize their radii of curvature in the right-of way. The initial pipe side exit
pit shall not exceed 1.25 m Wide x 2.00 m Long. These pits may be incorporated as part

electronically so as to guide the hole to a pre-designed configuration. The drill-path shall
be designed to creating as large a radius of curvature as possible within the limits of the
right-of-way, thus minimizing pipe curvature, which induces bending stresses and
increases the pull-back load due to the capstan effect.
Pilot Hole Reaming - The Reaming operation shall be carried out using an appropriate
back reamer cutting tool subject to Engineer approval. Cutting tool shall be
appropriately designed for the type of soil to be excavated. The Reaming tool shall be
capable of opening the pilot hole to a diameter slightly larger than the carrier pipeline.
The percentage oversize shall range from 120% to 150% of the carrier pipe diameter.
The Contractor shall detail the number of required reaming passes to the Engineer as
part of his method statement.
Drilling Mud – Drilling mud shall be used where required to stabilize the hole and
remove soil cuttings. Drilling mud shall be used in all locations where drilling hole is not
in rock. Drilling mud shall be bentonite clay (sodium montmorillonite). In rock
excavation another lubricating agent such as water shall be applied. Material shall be
submitted to Engineer for approval as part of method statement.
Pull-Back – The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer all calculations showing expected
pull-back forces on pipe as well as pipe resistance to pull-back based on selected pipe
class and SDR. The pull-back operation shall be carried out to pull the entire carrier
pipeline length in one segment back through the reamed-hole pathway. Proper pipe
handling, cradling, bending minimization, surface inspection, and fusion welding
procedures shall be applied. Axial tension force readings, constant insertion velocity,
mud flow circulation/exit rates, and footage length installed shall be recorded. The
maximum pullback speed shall not exceed 0.5 meters per minute.

Pipe Material - Pipes to be used for Horizontal Directional Drilling shall be DI pipe as
specified or any other material approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall submit
full details of the pipes as part of the Tender submission, together with details of previous
works undertaken using similar pipes. The contractor shall submit design calculations for
the pipes including, but not limits to:
a) Pipe and borehole resistance to permanent service traffic loads
b) Pipe resistance to temporary loads encountered during installation including, but
not necessarily limited to pull-back tensile stress.
I. Tolerances - The finished pipeline vertical alignment (invert level) shall be within
+10 cm of the level shown on the drawings. The finished pipeline horizontal
alignment shall be within +10 cm of the alignment shown on the drawings. All
costs associated with the consequent changes in alignment shall be borne by the
Contractor.
J. Survey and Records - The Contractor shall record ground levels prior to
commencement of works. Reliable temporary benchmarks and reference stations
shall be established. The locations of these shall be agreed with the Engineer.
Four reference stations shall be set around each site. Levels shall be taken along
the line of the pipe centerline and at offsets of 5 meters and 10 meters each side of
the pipeline, at meter intervals between launching and
K. Reception Pits - Levels and position shall be tracked using both down-hole
surveyor equipment as well as magnetic field surface-tracking as a cross-check.
Levels shall be taken and recorded on all of the above points at regular intervals
during HDD works. The Contractor shall submit daily records of progress (i.e.
drilling and pull-back forces, torque, penetration rate, pull-rate, volume of
bentonite used, volume of ground water pumped, and any other information as
may be required by the Engineer. The Contractor shall provide As-Built drawings
in plan and profile based on the final course followed by the reamer and the
installed pipeline.

1.75 Works at Road Crossings

Subsequent to trench excavation at road crossings, all pipe works shall be backfilled and
reinstated (either permanently or with minimum 100 mm thick grade 20 temporary
concrete without additional cost) such that trenches at road crossing are not kept open
more than three calendar days without Kahramaa prior approval. A successful hydraulic
test for water mains at road crossings remains the contractor's responsibility.
