How to create a proposed HDD bore plan

[@Juilan8]

This makes so much sense … thought it would be more complicated

[@ramapalmer1759]

You have to understand that the rod don't magically switch from 10 - 15% before being pushed. Meaning that you will go deeper than predicted depth using quick math

[@carlostena2183]

It also has to do alot with the kind of soil too

[@mancingurakan]

I'm always used Atlas Boreplanner to creating HDD bore planning. It's more simple and easy to use.

[@JuanCarlosReyes63]

Is very expensive

[@fefses1]

This assumes the ground to lay perfectly flat - which it often refuses to do

[@nickwalsh6456]

is the drill rod spec sheet available somewhere

[@TheLychie]

what happens if the surveyor doesnt provide depths of conflicting utilities? I just have the aerial layout of it

[@elsapo6199]

You need to pothole all conflicting utilities so you don't damage them while drilling

That 10% kick off is hard on everything. Loose enough soil you’re creating a key slot

Do you need a specific license to perform work?

[@emyndridrinemy3346]

depends on where you work. Some unions may require a CDL to operate vehicles that transport the drill machines. Some contractors may not need that, and will simply train you if you can get in their company

[@mr.m.3280]

@@emyndridrinemy3346 so besides the cdl I need no specific license to be a contractor? I live in Florida so no union here.

@@mr.m.3280 No, you do not need anything special (license or certificate) to operate a Bore rig. You just got to work your way into the industry. Most guys begin as helpers for the Bore crews. You'll be doing a lot of hand digging and getting dirty but eventually (and with some luck) you will eventually be shown how to operate a drill which isn't difficult but you gotta know how to approach any scenario which is where it's challenging

@@emyndridrinemy3346 how about to be an actual contractor for boring?any requirements there?

[@achillesninja]

Lmao. You don't need to do all this math. Its way eaiser than this guys making it

[@TheLychie]

what's a better way?
