The study presents the application of multi-criteria analysis, i.e., the Analytic HierarchyProcess (AHP), for the evaluation of investments related to the realisation of a high-pressure gaspipeline. The authors evaluated the realisation of the gas pipeline with the use of alternativemethods: the trenchless Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) method and the open excavationmethod, based on the example of the construction of a high-pressure gas pipeline DN1000. Sectionslocated in naturally valuable areas on the route of the pipeline Wierzchowice-Kiełczów (Poland)were analysed, on the section from the valve station in Czeszów to the Kiełczów node. The researchconsidered the following criteria: technical costs, economic costs, social costs, and environmentalcosts. The sum of these partial estimations is the “total cost” of the investment. Research revealedthat the technical costs of the open excavation method are in all cases higher than the technologicalcosts of the trenchless method during the realisation of a gas pipeline (in the AHP analysis, theyreceive an average score of −4 or −3, compared to a score of −2 for the HDD method). On the otherhand, the economic costs are comparable, with a slight advantage for the HDD method. The overallscore for the open excavation method obtained with use of the AHP multi-criteria evaluation is, fordifferent variants, approximately −19, while the evaluation of the realisation of a gas pipeline withuse of the Horizontal Directional Drilling method gives a score from −15 to −10, depending on thesection.

The study discusses the issue of introducing drilling fluid (bentonite) into the environment during the construction of linear underground investments, considering the example of the construction of the high-pressure gas pipeline, Czeszów—Kiełczów DN1000, which involved the use of the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) method. The analyses concern the drilling stage as a low-waste technology, indicating the use and management of bentonite drilling fluid in a closed circulation cycle in the area of Pęciszów, poviat Trzebnica (Poland). The loss of drilling fluid in valuable natural areas during the construction stage of the gas pipeline has been analyzed. Drilling fluid is an element of the horizontal directional drilling technology (HDD). The analyzed area included a section of the route of the strategic gas pipeline, realized in June–July 2017 in an area of lowland ash and alder forest 91E0-3, a probable breeding site of the Bluethroat for a detailed description and common frog. The loss of the drilling fluid used in the drilling phase has been determined, depending on the type of soil and the related fraction as well as the possibility of treating the drilling fluid used to construct the drilling.

“…A horizontal directional drilling rig is a construction machinery that lays underground public facilities (pipelines, cables, etc.) without excavating the ground's surface [7]. It is widely used to construct flexible pipelines for water supply, electricity, telecommunications, natural gas, oil, etc.…”

With the increasing number of submarine cable projects, the terrain and geological conditions of the landing section are becoming increasingly complex, and the traditional implementation of trench burial is becoming increasingly difficult. A landing construction plan for large-section power cables suitable for steep terrain and rugged rock formations is studied and proposed based on sorting out existing submarine cable landing plans. Using directional drilling construction machinery ideal for rock formations, natural cable protection pipes are formed in rock formations after dragging and expanding the holes, meeting submarine cable protection’s safety and economic requirements. In the climbing section of the submarine cable from the seabed to the rock hole, measures such as bottom sandbag raising and top rock throwing security are adopted to avoid vortex-induced vibration and erosion caused by the cable hanging in the climbing section. The construction plan of the directional drilling passage through hard rock and the construction and protection plan of the submarine cable do not affect the current situation of the existing coastal reefs and can effectively protect the submarine cable from external damage, achieving green and environmentally friendly construction.
