Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method for installing pipes and cables underground. The process involves boring a tunnel beneath the surface where trenching is not practical.
Boring underground requires drilling fluid that combines water and bentonite clay to help remove cuttings, stabilize the bore, cool the cutting tools, and lubricate pipe string. As the process comes to life, the drilling pump rotates the drill bit which then removes the material. As the drill bit is rotating, the pressure and fluid produced by the drill pump helps stabilize the tunnel. The mud extracted from this process is then filtered and reused for drilling fluid.
HDD is a process usually deployed when installing pipes and cables underneath roads, rivers and other types of infrastructure. Therefore, most jobs come with a challenging set of parameters that demand high rates of accuracy, efficiency, and effectiveness. Equipment manufacturers and end-users can trust our +160 years of experience manufacturing pumps for both petroleum and industrial industries.

LEC mud pumps use hydraulic power to convert hydraulic energy into the power that can convey high pressure mud. It’s self-suction plunger pump. The parts without rotation make piston linear motion.
•High reliability: no rotating parts, less moving parts, longer free maintenance time, high abrasive resistance and self-lubricating ability, which decrease the operating cost. When the hydraulic power less than max. rated power, the pump will decrease the output power automatically thus make the pump safe.

Mud pump manufacturers frequently offer both types of pumps. In reality, the pump power end and fluid ends are identical. The difference lies with the method used by the pump to displace the mud.
In the early 1990s, it was generally accepted that the pumps used on mid-size and small boring machines should deliver fluid to the bore at a high pressure (1,800 to 2,200 psi/124 to 152 bar)) and have a low flow rate of 5 to 25 gpm (19 to 95 Lpm).
As the industry matured and operators became more experienced, it was found that a higher mud flow with lower pressures was the superior way to bore. In some formations high pressure, low flow is still preferred and provides the most success. However, in the majority of areas, higher flows are best to provide hole cleaning (removal of solids) and provide adequate bentonite for formation sealing and lubrication.
Plunger and packing technology is used when high (800 to 1,000 psi/55 to 69 bar and higher) pressures and lower flows are required. The flow pressure pushes on the front of the packing, compressing it tightly around the smooth surface of the reciprocating plunger sealing off leakage. When the pressure is below 800 to 1,000 psi (55 to 69 bar), there is insufficient flow pressure to assist in this sealing and packing leakage occurs. Leakage carries with it sand and other abrasive solids that lodge between the packing rings and plungers, causing rapid wear to the plunger surface and/or packing and making a good seal impossible.
One advantage of plungers/packing is that the packing can be adjusted by the operator to minimize leakage until the bore is complete and the pump can be serviced.
Pumps with piston/liner technology work in the opposite manner. Pistons work well to prevent leakage when flow pressures are low (below 1,200 psi/83 bar). Pistons are generally larger in diameter than plungers, allowing the pump to run slower-this is good-for the same flow rates.
Pistons have two disadvantages. First, when they fail or start leaking, the operator can do nothing to prolong operation until repairs can be made. Thus, repairs usually have to be made shortly after significant leakage starts. Second, pistons like to run cool and be lubricated. Thus, a piston cooling/lubrication system must be employed to add to piston life.
This system consists of a small centrifugal pump, spray nozzles, piping and collection tank. It sprays a mixture of water and lubricant (non-foaming soap or a small amount of liquid polymer), onto the back of the pistons.
Many boring machines are equipped with plunger pumps. These units are being applied where piston technology should be used, mainly low pressure and higher flows. These pumps frequently have leakage problems. To help operators combat leakage on these boring machines, conversion kits are being developed by some pump manufacturers to allow pumps to be changed from plunger to piston technology. Consult your boring machine or pump manufacturer for availability.
Economically, a good time to consider changing from plunger to piston technology on your pump is when the plungers are no longer serviceable and must be replaced. Conversion kits can be installed in the field and are considered bolt off bolt on upgrades.
If your mud pump has leakage problems, consider that you may be asking your pump to operate in a condition or application for which it was not originally designed.

As development brings new utilities and services to suburban and rural areas near growing cities, installing new buried lines and pipes pose many challenges. These additions are usually installed close to existing houses and businesses, requiring careful drilling and boring procedures. Directional drilling is a great way to make essential infrastructure and utility installations while disturbing local traffic patterns and residents as little as possible. Yet the success or failure of any particular directional drilling or boring project often hinges on the quality of the pump chosen for the process.
Directional drilling is a method of creating a shallow underground tunnel with a boring tip and a heavy-duty slurry pump. This combination can dig relatively large diameter channels without disturbing the surface of the ground, minimizing damage to the landscape and qualifying the procedure as a trenchless service. This technique is also referred to as directional boring and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), depending on the size of the channel and the equipment used to bore it. This technique can penetrate a wide range of dense and soft soil conditions, including flooded grounds and wetlands.
Almost any installation of a curved and relatively shallow pipe or cable can be handled with directional drilling equipment. This means there’s high demand for the services across the country.
Since directional drilling doesn’t require digging a trench from the surface downward, there’s little disturbance to plants and trees. This makes it popular among both city planners and homeowners living around the installation areas where boring is necessary. A drilling fluid is used to keep heat from building up and to encourage the flow of debris smoothly down the pipe. This fluid consists of a steady supply of fresh water mixed with a specially made polymer or bentonite clay to increase the lubricating and cooling properties of the liquid. To keep the fluids moving at full pressure, the project needs heavy-duty slurry pumps to move the debris-filled liquid back to the reclaiming chamber to clear out bits of dirt and rock. The slurry removal and transport pump takes the brunt of wear and tear from the process since it must move liquids packed with sharp bits of stone and soil that are highly abrasive.
Most directional drilling pumps are based on modified slurry pump designs since these units need to work with drills producing up to 600 metric tons of thrust force. Large bore directional drilling heads can remove large chunks of solid stone and compacted soil that causes a lot of wear and tear to traditional slurry pumps. Debris bouncing against internal parts like impellers and spiral vanes results in constant repairs and a shortened lifespan of the pump. EDDY pumps are designed to last even in challenging directional drilling and boring applications.
It’s the specific design of the EDDY Pump that makes it ideal for directional boring and HDD uses. An open rotor design allows objects of up to 12 inches in diameter to pass through the pump without clogging it. This should cover even the largest and most aggressive cuttings generated by boring and drilling. There’s also no issue with generating plenty of pressure with any kind of drilling fluid with the open rotor design. Corrosive and abrasive mixtures don’t cause issues for the tough EDDY Pump design either. There’s relatively little maintenance needed to keep the high solids EDDY slurry pump working project after project. Sizing the right pump to the boring equipment will ensure it lasts for years with minimal wear and tear from the abrasive debris and cuttings.
Most contracts for public and private directional boring work include a clause stipulating the contractor is responsible for cleaning up after the work is completed. These cleanup steps usually include dewatering any remaining drilling fluid or transporting the cleaning water left over after the drilling bits are removed. Slurry pumps are also great for quickly removing these lingering fluids even when plenty of debris is mixed into the liquid.

High-pressure pump manufacturer Gardner Denver High Pressure Solutions (HPS) has launched its new GD 250HDD pump for a range of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) applications.
HDD pumps — also known as drill pumps, mud pumps, and high flow pumps — serve as an integral component to operations and provide an essential service to the HDD industry. In a release, the company calls its new product a “durable, reliable, American-made pump.”
The company says the GD 250HDD expands its pump offerings into the wider HDD space for the first time. The pump can be used to tunnel under rivers and roads and help to lay sewerage systems, water pipes, fiber optic lines and pipelines.
The pump, which Gardner Denver says is built with quality and efficiency in mind, features a high rod load rating of 50,000 pounds, making it tough and long lasting. Gardner Denver designed it to run at much slower speeds while matching or exceeding the performance of existing pumps. For example, the GD 250HDD can produce 300 gpm at 1400 psi while operating under 200 rpm. At this slow run speed, the pump can deliver the same output, flow and pressure, with less violent actions, wear and friction. Delivering fewer strokes extends consumable life.
“The weight to horsepower ratio of the GD 250HDD surpasses all other industry competitors,” says Ryan Huseman, lead engineer on the project. “The GD 250 HDD packs a huge amount of power in a very small-dimensional envelope, which makes it ideal for the HDD market. The pump runs incredibly smoothly due to the rigidity of the high strength ductile iron frame. Additionally, all the of the bearings on the GD 250HDD feature a pressurized lubrication system, so the pump can tackle the biggest projects in the industry.”
The GD 250HDD weighs under 4,000 pounds, has a maximum flowrate of 460 gpm and can reach pressures up to 3,000 psi. This triplex pump offers a 5-inch stroke, 50,000 pounds rod load rating and 250 breaking horsepower (BHP).
“For more than 160 years, Gardner Denver has been building a legacy of product innovation in pumping technology,” says Brandon Janda, product manager, Gardner Denver HPS. “With the GD 250HDD pump, our expertise is now being used to improve operations in the HDD market. The components of the new pump have been designed using Gardner Denver’s decades of experience in the industrial and petroleum industries. We have now taken this very robust field-proven technology and applied it to HDD pumps, introducing a 100% American-made, rugged, longer-lasting industrial pump — helping customers reduce downtime, extend consumable life and ultimately tackle bigger, tougher projects in less time.”
Gardner Denver’s High Pressure Solutions division designs, manufacturers and services high-pressure pumps and parts. The company says its state-of-the-art repair and service facilities across North America make it an ideal partner for high-pressure solutions. For more information, visit www.gardnerdenverpumps.com.
