Horizontal Directional Drilling Operator Shares: My 3 Cost-Saving Techniques

Publication Date: Jul 09, 2025

After years in the pipeline construction industry, I've learned that true expertise isn't about using the most expensive equipment, but about maximizing the potential of your pipeline installation drill. Today I'll share three field-tested cost-saving techniques that work particularly well with Hengwang Group's HWF135 horizontal directional drill.

Technique 1: Smart Drill Rod Management

When operating a pipeline installation drill, rod handling directly impacts efficiency. The HWF135's automatic loading system simplifies this process:

(1) Arrange rods in numbered order

(2) Use specialized lubricant on threads

(3) Regularly inspect the auto-load mechanism

 

Technique 2: Mud Recycling System

Mud consumption is a major expense with any pipeline installation drill. Our proven methods include:

(1) Setting up a settling and recovery system

(2) Adjusting mixtures for different soil conditions

(3) Regular filter maintenance

 

Technique 3: Preventive Maintenance Matters

Even the best pipeline installation drill needs proper care:

(1) Daily hydraulic system checks

(2) Weekly lubrication of critical components

(3) Monthly comprehensive inspections

 

Hengwang's HWF135 horizontal directional drill excels in these areas, with its reliable performance and user-friendly design helping us achieve significant cost reductions across multiple projects.

Remember, the keys to getting the most from your pipeline installation drill are: standardized operation, regular maintenance, and proper planning. I hope these insights help fellow professionals!
