Product catalog summary
Project Overview: The document details the use of the TERRA MINI-JET MJ 1600 horizontal directional drilling system in Saint Benoît la Foret, France. The project involved the installation of HDPE pipes with diameters of 200 mm over lengths of 47 m and 28 m.
Specifications: The drilling system utilized an excavator frame to expedite installation. The inclination was maintained between 0% and 1%. Backreaming diameters were 160 mm, 215 mm, and 260 mm. The underground conditions consisted of hard dry clay with gravel.
Equipment Details: The TERRA MINI-JET MJ 1600 was powered by the hydraulics of a Schaeff-Terix HR 18 excavator, which has a power output of 34.6 kW and an operating weight of 4,680 kg.
Procedure: The installation process began with the quick release fastener being engaged, allowing the pilot bore to commence shortly after. The locator was calibrated before the pilot bore to ensure accuracy.
Unique Features: The TERRA MINI-JET's special drill rods allow for a minimum turning radius of 15 m, a feature claimed to be unique worldwide.
Pipe Installation: The HDPE pipe, with an outer diameter of 200 mm, was successfully pulled over a length of 47 m. A 60 m long HDPE pipe was prepared at the arrival pit for the pipe pulling process.
