Given the project constraints, be they Technical, Geological or Environmental…

Coe Drillings Engineers and Drilling Managers using the latest design software generate the design plan and profile for each installation showing all geotechnical information provided by the client along the trajectory of the bore path. They can also in doing so design the project around various pipe materials to suit the crossing radius whilst maintaining the product pipes structural integrity.

Detailed stress analysis is prepared prior to installation to calculate the various forces acting on the pipeline during the installation process.

Coe Drillings Engineers can also provide the Downhole Steering Service using the company’s latest Magnetic Guidance Systems and once complete the Engineers can generate an “as-built” drawing of the crossing from the data obtained during the pilot hole operation.

In some cases where Magnetic based instruments cannot be used due to high Magnetic interference in the vicinity of the borehole, the crossings are surveyed using Gyro Steering technology to accurately position the utility.

Coe Drillings Engineers can once again provide this service and demonstrate the complete design and construct package, which is available when you use Coe Drilling on your next project.

By combining these skills and resources, Coe Drilling is in a position to provide creative and practical solutions to complex, multiple crossing projects, turning its inherent versatility into business strength.
