ANALYSIS OF THEORETICAL VERSUS ACTUAL HDD PULLING LOADS

Based on the American Gas Association method of analyzing horizontal directional drilling (HDD) installation loads, this paper presents a comparative analysis between theoretical and actual pulling loads to determine if modifications to the calculation method are necessary. Data used in this analysis consists of joint-by-joint carriage force gauge readings from actual HDD installations.
