3-2-4 Interface management

It is inevitable to interact with other contractors such as pipe prefabriaction manufacturer and supervision unit during the project period. Dealing with the cross construction and relation coordination with other units, we should adhere to the following principles: First, every contractor shoud maintain a sense of overall situation, and put the interests of the project at first place, emphasizing on the progress, quality and safety of construction and avoiding preoccupying in trivial matters. Second, the working interface of each contractor shoud be confirmed in advance and the interactive coomunication should be enhanced.

3-2-5 Cooperation with pipeline construction unit

We will provide pipeline construction unit with accurate location of entry point and exit point and share the access road as much as possible, cooperating closely to ensure the successful completion of pulling, after which we will handle site slurry properly and offer detailed crossing data to creat favorable condition for pipeline unit to proceed work like connecting pipes.

3-2-6 Cooperation with supervision unit

We will fully respect supervivion unit and comply to the instructions from supervisor and owner, contrling working progress strictly, enhancing material management, strenthening construction management, intensifying safty and quality awareness and executing with civilization.

3-2-7 Cooperation with design unit

1 Soil data topography and bathymetrical survey will be done by the design company. The construction drawings will be designed and submitted for EPC approval, and the profile will be crossed according to the approved drawing.

2 When the design is not achievable, the design unit should be informed immediately to survey the site and work out practic construction design together.

3 The usage amount and attrition rate of owner supplied and contractor purchased material need to be confirmed in cooperation with design unit to ensure the accuracy of specification,model and quantity of materials.

4 The regulated construction process and technique should be strictly followed to meet the demand of construction design.

5 If the design alteration occurs, the new technique requirements and construction method should be followed.

6 After the completion of project, the detailed and accurate as-built surveying report accordance with the important design documents like design and construction alteration is required.

3-2-8 cooperation with nondestructive testing unit

1 The construction should be properly arranged to ensure there is no interference between site work and testing.

2 If necessay, the support for testing is required by personnel and equipment at site.

3 For the pulling construction of multiple to one, the owner and testing unit should be notified the testing of welding seam in advance and standby on call for timely testing and results to shorten the pause period during pulling.

3-3 Construction scheme

3-3-1 Construction procedures

3-3-2 Identification of HDD crossing length and location

In this program, there are roads or country roads which can facilitate the entrance and exit of the equipment in most of HDD entry points, but when entering the construction site, several individual projects need to build access road in the ROW.

The rig1 site is aroud 20m × 70m, and the rig2 site is aroud 15m × 50m. Make sure the road without water, and meet the safety construction requirements. Ensure the road can sustain the heavy equipment, such as rig, power station, mud pump and other large vehicles.

The rig1 exit site is aroud 15m × 40m, and the rig2 exit site is aroud 10m × 35m. Make sure the road without water, and meet the safety construction requirements. It is necessary to take up the driveway when construction along the highway and use concrete barriers to isolate the site and protect workers and equipment.

3-3-3 RIG ANCHOR

Prior to installation of the rig anchor, all services will be located and clearly marked and/or protected; the procedure for the protection of these services will be site specific and so will be covered in the relevant Site-Specific Construction Procedure for each crossing. The rig anchor will be a sheet pile, or concrete block design. Design of the structure is site specific and engineering will be detailed in the relevant Site-Specific Construction Procedure for each crossing.

3-3-4 Drilling Fluid

The drilling fluid and any additives that will be used for the crossings shall be based on site-specific requirements. The soil investigation data will be used to determine the expected formation and most suitable mud program.

Generally, the mud used for the project will consist of water (more than 90%) plus natural clay, also referred to as bentonite and water will be directed to the rig site by trucks or pumped from an approved local water source and mixed with the bentonite. Small quantities of additives may be used to improve the properties of the mud to suit the ground conditions encountered. However all materials used in the mud, including the bentonite shall be environmentally harmless. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each additive will be available for on-site inspection.

After mixing and when the mud is at the correct viscosity and quality for the prevailing drilling conditions, it will be pumped from the mix tank to the active tank and then via the mud pump to the drill string and down hole. The drill fluid will return to surface via the annulus carrying the cuttings with it. In order to reduce the total volume used, the mud will be cleaned and recycled where possible; therefore a recycling installation consisting of shale shakers and centrifuges and sand cleaner will be installed on site. The mud surfacing at the exit side will be pumped to rig side, through the FOC duct. On the longer crossings, an additional pipe side recycling system and displacement pump may be employed.

3-3-5 Pilot Hole

Pilot-hole drilling is the first stage in the drill process. The pilot drill string will be advanced along the engineered and approved path from the entry surface location to the exit surface location. The hole for FOC duct will be drilled first and the hole for the 30” carrier pipe after that. If the design is mailine and FOC are installed in one borehole, the pilot hole will be drilled one time.

Size and type of the bit will be determined to suit the ground conditions. As the string is advanced the action of bentonite being pumped down the string and through the bit erodes the soil formation. The bit is steered by means of an offset sub behind the jet bit. The string is rotated depending on the design profile and the ongoing survey data. A down-hole mud motor will be used if conditions require for hard ground conditions.

At the completion of the pilot-hole drilling, tabulation sheets of co-ordinates, length, depth, inclination, azimuth and drawing, which accurately describe the location of the pilot hole, will be submitted to EPC. 

The drilling tools of rig1 used in the pilot hole drilling is:

91/2″steel-tooth bit(soil layer)+ Deflecting sub+ non-magnetic drill collar+5” drill pipes, or

91/2″roller bit(rock or hard sand layer)+ mud motor-bent sub + non-magnetic drill collar+5-1/2″ drill pipes.

The drilling tools of rig2 used in the pilot hole drilling is:

8-1/2″ normal soil bit (soil layer) +4-1/2” drill pipes

3-3-6 Installation of Fiber Optic Duct (FOC) Casing

The fiber optic duct casing will be installed prior to the installation of the 30″mainline. The duct casing may be drilled and installed utilizing a smaller capacity rig together with a walkover locating system if conditions allow. A flange will be welded to the ends of the FOC casing both exit side and entry side and connected directly to the return pump on pipe side. The duct casing will be used as a mud return line during reaming operations and will be flushed and capped prior to demobilization.

The assembly of drilling tools for pulling FOC Casing is:drill pipe + cardan joint + head of pullback + cable casing.

3-3-7 Reaming

After the drill bit is excavated, remove the drill tool and connect the reamer. Spray the hole in front of the hole to check if the nozzle is clear.

According to the construction experiences and the combination of geological survey report, 30 "pipe is used for the 4-step reaming +2 washing hole if normal soil condition (which can increase the numbers of enlarging and washing holes depends on actual situation). Choose 5 " drill pipe: each hole is used for the backflow of the drill pipes.

5-1/2″ drill pipe +Ф962mm Barrel reamer +5-1/2″ drill pipe

  1. In the construction of each step, it is important to observe the reaming process. If the hole is not smooth, it should be cleaned.

(3) It is reasonable to choose the reamer size, nozzle size and nozzle quantity for the next hole-reaming process based on the geological conditions and the situation of last hole-reaming process, and to improve the carrying capacity of mud by controlling the mud pressure and flow rate.

3-3-8 Safeguard measures to enlarge the hole

a) When the pilot hole completed, the drill bit and the non-magnetic drill collar should be removed in time. Then Install the reamer for the pre-expansion hole.

b) To improve the mud displacement according to the design requirements, and make sure the reaming process is smoothly. It is strictly prohibited to pump mud in a suppressed pressure, to enlarge the hole with a extra large torque, or to enlarge the hole by violence. Operators should pay attention to the pump pressure, torque as well as the changes of pull force.

C) When reaming and washing holes, make sure that the mud viscosity to protect the hole wall from collapsing.

3-3-9 Pipeline pulling methodology

Pipe rollers will be laid between the end of the string and the HDD exit point. The pipe string will be pulled along rollers to exit point-using excavators. A barrel reamer and swivel assembly will be attached to the pulling head and the rig will take up the tension. The pipe string will be lifted into the overbend position by cranes and excavators as the pipe string is pulled into the drilled hole. Pipe pulling will continue to completion.

During pullback operations the pipe string will be monitored by a Pipeline Supervisor to prevent potential damage to the coating from coming into contact with rollers or other objects. Personnel with radios will be positioned at intervals along the pipe string with contact to the rig to stop pullback if required. To avoid miss-communication the HDD Supervisor will be the single source of communication to the driller. Personnel will be positioned at intervals along the pipe to watch for any misaligned rollers and potential problems. Pipeline personnel will receive proper instruction prior to pullback as to how to signal the supervisor with radios to halt pulling if there is a potential problem. Adequate lighting will be provided for night operations and positioned so as not to disturb road users and general public.

Piping back to the assembly: 5-1/2″ drill pipe +Φ813mm barrel reamer + 150T transfer + u-shaped ring + 30 " pipeline

3-3-10 Mud displacement

1) Several large mud pumps will be put into use in this project. The mud displacement can reach 1000L/min by GN1000 mud pumps for the rig1. The mud displacement can reach 600L/min the own mud pumps for the rig2.

2) Mud displacement in soil HDD construction project: 500-1000L/min depends on the HDD length and soil condition.

3-3-11 The measures to cross roads during pipeline back pulling

If there are prefabricated pipeline crossing roads during pipeline back pulling, some general measures described as the following should be used to solve the problem.

  1. Set up warning signs in advance, and arrange standard bearer to direct traffic in order to avoid traffic accidents。
  2. The way of lifting pipeline is used to cross the highway and the traffic will be temporarily closed under this situation。
  3. Install a high limit bar over the highway entrance and a specially-assigned man will direct the large vehicles to make a detour.

3-3-12 The measures to ensure pipeline pullback smoothly

  1. Make sure the pilot hole as smooth as possible and meet the requirement of design, and avoid S-shaped curve.
  2. Overall maintenance to key machinery and equipment will be executed before the final reaming holes (hole washing). Another systematically checking will be executed before the pipeline pullback to make sure all the machinery and equipment are perfect.
  3. Set out to prepare the pulling work as early as possible. After the preparatory work, hole cleaning will be executed one more time again. Try best to avoid long time delay, otherwise,another hole cleaning maybe become necessary.
  4. Adjust the pipeline’s position, and make sure its angle is consistent with the exit angle. Take some steps to make sure the pipeline straight and avoid the problem caused by huge bending. It is an efficient way to open cut a ditch of 10 meters in length along the crossing direction. And then the pipeline pullback process will become easier.
  5. By adjusting the mud property, it can improve the capacity of slurry suspension, carrying, lubrication, cementing and plugging. When increasing the polymer proportion in the mud, its suspension and cementing capacity can be improved. Adding rheological agent into mud can maintain its fluidity with a high viscosity, improve its carrying capacity and reduce the viscous force. Adding lubricant into mud can reduce friction and also it is benefit to isolating the sand layer.

F) Pipeline pullback process should be continuously. Stoppage should be avoided. Check the connection situation of rotating joint, U-shackles, reamer, make sure everything is perfect before pulling. The driller must keep communication with patrols during pipeline pulling process, and make sure the pipeline can be installed on the designed position.

3-3-13 Coating Protection measures during pipeline pullback

  1. The corrosion protection operator and driller should cooperate with each other during the pipeline pullback process. If there are any damages founded on the pipeline repairing must be done immediately. The patrols should find out the reason and solve it. This task should be executed through the whole pullback process.
  2. After finishing the pipeline anticorrision, the outside of the pipeline should be protected to avoid damage during pullback process.
  3. Pile up the bentonite bags to lift the pipe-roller away from the ground if the site is no enough space and make sure the pipeline can not reach the ground directly. Through this way we can reduce the contact area between pipeline and ground and can protect the pipeline efficiently.
  4. In the pipeline pullback process, the mud must meet the requirement, match with the geological conditions, and can improve the smoothness of enlarged hole. The enlarged hole must be filled with mud.  Keep the pipeline to be in suspending in the enlarged hole. This way can reduce the friction between pipe and hole wall, and can prevent the pipe to be damaged.
  5. Check the insulating property of the pipeline and the connection situation between drilling tools before the pipeline pullback. Start pulling when everything is perfect

3-3-14 Cuttings Treatment & Removal

During pull back of the pipeline, a volume of mud equal to the volume of the pipe will be displaced. This will be stored on site using pits where possible and/or removed to an approved dumpsite via trucks. The type of mud storage will be indicated on the site lay out drawing in the site-specific procedures, which will be used to obtain all necessary permits. Cuttings produced during the drilling process will be removed to an approved local dumpsite.

3-3-15 The measures of crossing highways & streets in HDD

If there are some of the HDD projects parallelling with the road and street, it should be very important to adopt safeguard measures at this section. Due to limited space, emergency lane maybe used when construction. Concrete barrels used to isolate the site and warning lamps will be necessary for safety protection. In order to avoid traffic accidents, one standard-bearer standing at the site entrance will be assigned to direct the traffic.

3-3-16 Construction measures along high voltage transmission lines

The high voltage transmission line is too high to influence the site work. For the absolute safety reason we will use PⅡ steering system in this project. Safety signs will be set at the construction site. It is forbidden that standing close to the high voltage transmission line or climbing the power tower. Detailed technical and HSE disclosure will be executed at site before construction.

3-3-17 Construction measures with existing parallel pipelines

If there was parallel pipeline, the followed method will be executed.

1) Analyze the data of the established pipeline provided by the Owner, and the data must be accurate.

2) In order to plan the route of this new pipeline, the route of established pipelines should be marked based on the drawings.

3) In order to get accurate data, a large magnetic coil should be established and P Ⅱ steering system should be used as well.

4)In order to protect the established pipeline, and determine the drilling depth of the HDD construction project, technicians should depend on the data of the established pipeline supplied by the Owner.

5)If the established pipeline is close to the new pipeline, firstly we will apply to EPC for excavating it out. Further protection, such as isolation with steel plate will be adopted if necessary after excavation work finished.

3-3-18 Post-Installation Testing

The carrier pipe shall be pre-tested as a single string, unless approved otherwise, ex-situ prior to application of field joint coating.

Subsequent to installation of the crossing, the crossing section shall be hydrostatically tested again. Gauging shall be carried out by using gauging pig equipped with a gauge plate. The aluminum gauge plate diameter shall be equal to 95% of inside diameter of the heaviest wall pipe in the test section. Compressed air or hydro water shall be used to run Gauging pig.
