Select Start and End Points
Select one end to use as a starting point. Consider the following when selecting a starting point:
Slope
Fluid system should be parked on a level site. Consider how slope will affect drilling unit setup, bending
pipe, and fluid flow out of hole.
Traffic
Vehicle and pedestrian traffic must be a safe distance from drilling equipment. Allow at least 10’ (3 m)
buffer zone around equipment.
Space
Check that starting and ending points allow enough space for gradual pipe bending. See “Minimum
Setback” on page 52.
Check that there is enough space to work and to set up electric strike system.
Comfort
Consider shade, wind, fumes, and other site features.
Drill downhill when possible so fluid will flow away from drilling unit.
