Installing PEX Tubing iwth drilling

Horizontal directional drilling

Laying PEX tubing by horizontal directional drilling is divided into three phases:

* Drilling of the pilot (pilot) hole.
* The expansion project at its diameter.
* Dragging whip PEX tubing.

Drilling a pilot (pilot) hole particularly important phase of trenchless installation, on which depends the final result.

It is implemented with the help of rock cutting tools - drilling head with a slant in front and built-in emitters.

Drilling head is connected through the hollow body with a flexible transmission rod that allows you to manage the construction process of the pilot channel and bypass the obstacles encountered on the road in any direction within the natural curvature of the drill string.

The drilling head has an opening for providing a special fluid that reduces friction on the drilling head and the rod and prevents the channel from landslides, cools the drill bit, breaks the rock and cleans up from its parts, introducing them to the surface.

Control over the location of the drilling head by using suction locator, which receives and processes signals received from the transmitter built into the drill head.

The monitor displays information about the location, slope, depth, azimuth of the drilling head. These data are crucial for monitoring compliance with the trajectory of pipeline is a project, and minimizes the risk of breakage of the drill string.
