Technical HDD
Tools

What we built for our own crews.

Thirteen years of running rigs produced a quantity of software: calculators, execution-plan builders, quality programmes and reference libraries, written because the alternative was a binder in a truck. They are now part of what a client engagement gives you access to.

Field engineering

The HDD companion

An offline planning, engineering and compliance suite for a crossing: dozens of field calculators, a pullback and stress engine verified against the published industry worked example, an execution-plan composer written to the Canadian pipeline code, and a full inspection and test programme — with views for the drill crew, the field supervisor, the project engineer, the owner and the inspector.

Runs entirely offline in a browser with no connection, because the places it is needed do not have one.

Reference

The pipeliner's handbook

A pipeline construction reference: trade procedures for welding, pipefitting, bending, tie-in and trenchless work, a technical data manual with computed line-pipe tables, calculators, the codes and standards library, a safety procedure register and the environmental drawing set. Written to show the crew how and the inspector what to reject, side by side.

Also fully offline.

Commercial

The estimating set

A calibrated HDD crossing estimator — rig class, bore and schedule, weighted crew cost, equipment spread and phase production, producing a unit rate or a lump sum — together with an estimating workbook and a proposal generator that assembles the commercial exhibit, execution plan and scope of work.

Design

The trenchless design platform

A project design environment: segment-by-segment alignment builder, right-of-way utilisation and land package, downhole assembly and navigation selection, rig selection, task orders, quality and integrity, regulatory windows, and a trenchless-versus-open-cut emissions comparison.

Where they are, and how you get at them

These are working internal tools, not a shipped software product. They sit in the client portal and we set up access as part of an engagement — or we run them for you as part of the work, which is usually what people actually want. If you would like a look at one, ask.

They carry working names and their own revision history, and we are not selling licences to them today. When any of that changes, it will change here first.
