5. The horiz<strong>on</strong>tal directi<strong>on</strong>al drilling technique<br />

5.1 General<br />

Since the early 1990‘s, there has been a close relati<strong>on</strong>ship between the development<br />

<strong>of</strong> this technique and ductile cast ir<strong>on</strong> pipes. Back in 1993, Nöh [ .1] c<strong>on</strong>ducted some<br />

exploratory tests in which 0 m l<strong>on</strong>g DN 1 0 pipelines with positive locking joints were<br />

installed and were then withdrawn again from the bore to allow the surface stresses<br />

which had occurred to be assessed. The excellent results provided the justificati<strong>on</strong> for<br />

a 2 x DN 1 0 double culvert pipe about 200 metres l<strong>on</strong>g which was pulled in under the<br />

river Mosel in 199 at Kinheim, partly through rocky subsoil.<br />
