1. STL HDD – 01: STREET LIGHT CABLE DUCT (AL WARQA STREET)

Estimated Road Settlement due to the installation of 2 no’s 110mm HDPE pipe bundle inside one borehole of 250mm by
HDD with minimum of 3.00m Depth under the asphalt road edge.
Settlement to road surface is calculated using formula:

Smax = VL
i√ 2 π

Where, Smax = Maximum Settlement


VL = volume loss as rational excavated volume of bore.
Do = Excavated diameter of bore hole. (250mm)
Zo = Depth of tunnel axis to the ground level. (3.125m)
i = Distance from bore centre to the point of inflection.

As per O'Reilly & ADM New Proposal, the relation between i and Zo for typical Granular / Non cohesive soil:
i = 0.28 Zo – 0.12
i = 0.28 x 3.125 – 0.12 = 0.875
