With the present-day advancements, we have the horizontal directional drilling equipment that helps in making the process of construction even better. We offer the best quality drilling equipment at Shale Pumps and you can trust our services. So, if you are in the construction industry here we have some tips that will help you in getting the most out of your horizontal directional drilling equipment so scroll down and check out:
- In order to get flawless results, you must rotate your drill pipe. This is because the drill pipe is the most wearable item on a directional drill and it is quite expensive to buy. However, if you keep your equipment carefully and get it serviced in time you can improve its life span.
- Using drilling fluid helps in reducing the wear and tear of the drill pipe, and it also helps in tooling on the base of the drill cord. If you continue to use it without proper fluids on a construction project you might end up ruining its life.
- Knowing the condition of the ground can help in improving the life span of the horizontal directional drilling equipment. Apart from keeping the right tooling and fluids selection for the directional bore helps in keeping the equipment free from the wear and damages. Here’s an expert tip from Shale Pumps: If your machine gauge is expressing overload of rotary torque, it can be a sign that you are using the incorrect variety of fluid.
- Always use quality makeup water in your equipment in order to keep your directional drilling equipment free from the damages. If the water taken from the source is not flushed chances are there that there will be a lot of sand settled in the water source and it can be a major reason for the damage.
- Make sure to allow only the trained and experienced people to operate your machine. At Shale Pumps, we believe that if not taken care of while handling the equipment can get serious damages.
