5 Key Systems of Directional Drill Rig
A complete directional drilling equipment is a precision system working in coordination, mainly consisting of the following parts:
- Drilling Rig System: Composed of the main engine and rotary table, it is the core for performing drilling and pullback operations. The push-pull force and torque it outputs directly determine the construction capacity of the equipment.
- Power System: Providing high-pressure hydraulic power and electrical supply for the entire drilling rig, it is the “heart” for the stable operation of the equipment, and its power directly affects operation efficiency.
- Directional Control System: As the “eyes” and “brain” of the directional drill rig, it guides the drill bit to advance along the designed trajectory in real time through computers and sensors, which is the key to achieving precise trenchless construction.
- Mud System: Composed of mixing tanks and mud pumps, it is responsible for preparing and delivering mud to cool the drill bit, stabilize the borehole wall and discharge drill cuttings, and its flow and pressure parameters are crucial.
- Drilling Tools and Auxiliary Equipment: Including drill pipes, drill bits, reamers, etc., these are the direct tools for drilling and reaming according to different formations and borehole diameters, and their quality and adaptability affect the construction effect.
How to Select a Suitable Horizontal Directional Drill for Sale?
When making a purchase, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive evaluation from the following aspects:
- Clarify Project Requirements: Determine the required push-pull force, torque and reaming diameter range of the equipment according to the pipeline diameter, length, crossing geological conditions (such as rock hardness) and common obstacle types (rivers, highways) for regular construction.
- Evaluate Comprehensive Equipment Performance: Not only should you look at the parameters, but also pay attention to the technical advancement and matching degree of each system (especially the directional control system and mud system). An excellent directional drilling equipment should be an integrated whole with efficient coordination of all subsystems.
- Assess Life-cycle Cost: In addition to the initial purchase horizontal directional drilling machine price, it is also necessary to consider the fuel consumption of the equipment, maintenance convenience, service life of wearing parts and the after-sales support capability of the manufacturer, and select equipment that can create value stably in the long term.6.
Successful Cases of Directional Drill Rig
The following are two typical cases from different continents, demonstrating how the equipment addresses completely different engineering challenges.
- Pipeline Renewal in the Historical District of Mexico CityIn the historical preservation area in the center of Mexico City, traditional excavation construction is strictly restricted due to the potential risk of damaging cultural relics. YG’s directional drill rig (Model YG-280), relying on its high-precision directional control system, successfully completed the laying of new drainage pipelines amidst the dense existing pipe network. The project avoided ground excavation, protected the precious pavement of the historical streets, and the surrounding commercial activities proceeded as usual during the construction period, fully embodying the comprehensive advantages of trenchless technology.
- Water Supply Pipeline Crossing in Remote Areas of Namibia, a long-distance water supply project needed to cross a wide dry riverbed. The surface soil was loose, making it difficult for large-scale equipment to access. The directional drill rig provided by YG (Model YG-180), with its compact layout and strong pullback force, efficiently completed the long-distance pipeline crossing. The equipment’s powerful mud system effectively stabilized the loose borehole wall, ensuring the success of the construction in one attempt.4.
