Horizontal directional drill (HDD) operators know that having the right equipment is a key element to jobsite success. One integral piece of equipment that can help streamline operations and boost HDD uptime is fluid cleaning systems. Fluid cleaning systems are designed to assist HDD crews with their drilling fluid by removing solids from the drilling fluid as quickly and efficiently as possible. This can help reduce wear and tear on tooling, pumps and other components, resulting in a cleaner, safer and more efficient operation.
From minimizing inadvertent returns to helping contractors reduce environmental impacts and minimize haul-off costs, fluid cleaning systems are a fundamental piece of equipment in any drilling operation. We’ll dig into the science behind the benefits of clean drilling fluid.

There are already lots of good reasons for why you should digitally document underground construction jobs from pre-drill planning to post-drill reporting. It can help you better understand congested easements to avoid costly and dangerous cross bores. It can also reveal how well—or poorly—operators are using equipment. It can even improve how you bid for jobs by making sure bids reflect each job’s unique risks and challenges.
And now, you can add one more reason to the list of why you should document jobs—it will soon be required.
Cory Maker and Steve Sellenriek will walk attendees through what is required of them, how their equipment can help and explain how contractors can implement best practices into their everyday businesses.
