A STUDY ON THE DESIGN OF A HORIZONTAL AUGER SOIL DRILLING MACHINE FOR PIPELINE INSTALLATION ACROSS THE ROADWAY

Abstract

Nowadays, the underground construction demand of water supply pipes, drainage tubes, gas supply pipes, power supply, media information… continuously increase, especially in large urban areas. The use of an auger soil drilling machine, a combination of drilling - a regular pipeline installation across the roadway to construct and install underground pipes will overcome the nuisance of construction and installation methods now, including: large earthwork volumes, breaking landscape construction, noise, and ease of traffic congestion... This paper presents the design of the main parts of the horizontal auger soil drilling machine with a 300mm inner-diameter of tube and 30m of the total length are fitted with soil level 1 conditions; using Solid Works software to simulate the entire structure and operation of the machine on the computer.
