Assessment of subsurface conditions
Why?• Quantification of maximum confining stress• Quantification of minimum drill pressures
How?• Appropriate geotechnical boring plan• Pertinent laboratory tests based on the design method• Geophysical methods (if necessary)• Geotechnical data/baseline report with focus on critical soil
parameters for HDD design

Critical design considerations
• Constantly changing subsurface conditions • Soils
• Shear modulus• Cohesion• Friction angle
• Rock• Unconfined compressive strength• Abrasion• Durability
• Constantly changing drill fluid properties due to its interaction with the soil leading to changes in• Density• Plastic viscosity• Yield point• Gel strength

Advantages of proposed methodology
• Test “What If” scenarios• Run parametric analysis• Understand importance of iterative method of real-
time drill fluid management• Discusses critical design considerations• Use of supplemental graphical software to
visualize and optimize solutions
