An Overview
Ranger, Inc, a division of Ranger Construction Corp is a regional leader in new methods and technologies like CTHDD (Close Tolerance HDD), a modification of standard HDD process where vertical sight holes are drilled about every 15 to 50 feet over the alignment to facilitate sighting the pilot bore and to relieve the drilling mud pressure. As the product pipe is pulled into the reamed hole, the drilling mud is displaced up the sight holes and is vactored out of the holes.
As the product pipe passes the first sight hole, the path of the drilling mud is effectively shifted to the next sight hole. A sample situation would be when three water lines must be installed as temporary pipelines for bypass flow to allow CIPP lining of the larger diameter water transmission lines. The design engineer specified HDD for installation of the three temporary water pipelines. During the submittal review phase, the contractor proposed using the CTHDD technology.
