Client: Revolution Directional Drilling Technology Srl – Italy

Year: 2005-2007

What I did: I developed the idea of a new laser based guidance system for horizontal directional drilling, operating in 2 1/2″ drill string, with a minimum bending radius of 25 m; the system was called ALICE; I developed the algorithm, collaborating to the construction and testing phase of prototypes.

I carried out the feasibility studies for the application of HDD to pre-tunneling compensation grouting and directional underground injections for insulation and treatment.
