LARGE
HDD Rigs Census
When a project calls for horizontal directional drilling (HDD),
it's important to select the right rig to fi t the specifi c needs,
especially when they involve large HDD rigs. This annual census,
compiled by Underground Construction, serves as a valuable
resource in the selection process and, ultimately, project success.
The most common industry standard for this category of HDD rigs
is pullback force of at least 100,000 pounds and, as presented
in the following data, reaches a maximum of 1,800,000 pounds.
Additional, related specifi cations include maximum pipe size of
30- to 60-inch diameter and maximum rotary torque (drill stem)
of 12,000 to 140,000 foot/pounds.
