Pre-Drill Planning: What We’ll Help You With
Project Scope & Objectives
Define overall project goal and installation purpose.
Identify all key stakeholders and contacts (Owner, Engineer, General Contractor).
Establish a preliminary bore path with proposed entry and exit locations.
Determine project timeline, key milestone dates, and required completion date.
Subsurface & Geotechnical Data
Commission a Geotechnical Report relative to the bore path.
Obtain all existing utility maps and as-builts for the project area.
Identify any known underground obstructions.
Note groundwater levels and any known soil or water contamination.
Site Logistics & Access
Verify adequate site access for drill rig, support trucks, and personnel.
Designate laydown area for pipe fusing and equipment staging.
Identify water source for drilling fluid and plan containment.
Develop traffic control and public safety plan.
Permitting & Environmental
Identify necessary permits (municipal, state DOT, railroad, environmental).
Confirm status of all permit applications.
Delineate environmentally sensitive areas.
Create plan for containment and disposal of drilling fluids.
Pipe & Utility Specifications
Confirm final product pipe material (HDPE, PVC, Steel).
Verify pipe diameter, wall thickness, and bend radius.
Plan for final utility tie-in requirements and connection points.
