“…Several pre-reaming operations were required to achieve the final desired borehole diameter. Thus, the borehole was enlarged using 22, 26, 36, and 42 inch reamers (up to 140% of the product diameter) [24]. In general, the observed relative productivity rates are consistent with expectations based on the incremental diameters.…”

“…It is generally understood that soil conditions and drilling (reaming) diameter are the most critical conditions affecting HDD productivity. These conditions determine most of required features of the HDD rig, including size (e.g., thrust, torque) and type of equipment, and tools (reamers) [24].…”

“…HDD operations are divided into three main stages: pilot borehole drilling, reaming, and pullback of product pipe. In this case study, productivity data were emphasis on the reaming stage, which is the most time intensive phase of the whole HDD process [24]. Table 4.…”

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless technology provides an installation alternative that offers a lot of benefit compared to traditional open-cut method. It’s called HDD because its steering ability to avoid existing utilities or other obstacles either horizontally, vertically and even pulled back where she got its name. HDD was developed in California in the 1970s and was introduced in Europe in 1986. Since year 1992 up to 2016 there are about 40 thousand unit HDD machine were sold worldwide. Contractors, consultants, municipalities and decision makers are always in difficulties to determine the installation cost and the duration required when using the HDD method due to the presence of many qualitative factors. Understanding the HDD productivity factors will assist the stakeholders to overcome this matter. The aims of this study are to identify the existing HDD productivity factors, identify the factors that affect HDD productivity, identify the current tools that are used by current researcher, and identify the open problems and areas related to HDD productivity for improvement. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was carried to previous related papers retrieved by a manual search, critically analysed and discussed. Researches regarding HDD productivity conducted by previous researchers were compared and discussed. The studies involved journal articles, conference papers, books, guidelines and etc. Consequently, these previous experiences and models can assist the contractors, consultants, municipalities and decision makers in preparing their costing and scheduling. The lacking factors on HDD productivity factors were highlighted and suggested for futre studies.

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless technology provides an installation alternative that offers a lot of benefit compared to traditional open-cut method. It’s called HDD because its steering ability to avoid existing utilities or other obstacles either horizontally, vertically and even pulled back where she got its name. HDD was developed in California in the 1970s and was introduced in Europe in 1986. Since year 1992 up to 2016 there are more than 40 thousand-unit HDD machine were sold worldwide. The aims of this study are to determine the present local authorities’ technical requirements in HDD works, to determine the factors of HDD good practices and to develop a standard HDD’s technical requirement. This research shall use mixed method in achieving the objectives. A descriptive and exploratory research design will be used for the study. The research design for this study contains the following consist of the research problem and research questions, sampling design, method of data collection, method of data analysis, validation/verification of the HDD standard technical requirements and its’ frameworks. This study shall able to produce a standard HDD technical requirement and its’ framework. With the establishment of a thorough and a standard local authority’ technical requirements it’s will able to educate the HDD contractors and assist them in carrying out their work properly, successfully and safely. It’s will also able to educate the stake holders on how important to follow the stipulated technical requirements that contributed to the project success.
