dealer for details.
If not using bore planning software, mark the bore path on the ground with spray paint or flags, or record it
on paper for operator reference.
For complicated bores, consult an engineer. Have the jobsite surveyed and bore path calculated. Be sure
the engineer knows minimum entry pitch, bend limits of drill pipe, bend and tension limits of pullback
material, pipe lengths, and location of all underground utilities.
For less complicated bores, plan the bore based on four measurements:
• recommended bend limit
• entry pitch
• minimum setback
• minimum depth
IMPORTANT: See the following pages for more information about these measurements. If not using
Trac Management System Plus, see “Bore Path Calculator - Power Pipe® HD” on page 94 and use
these measurements to help plan your bore.
