What I did: I made the detailed design and project management of the installation of an high tension electrical infrastructure, performed by using dry directional drilling. All the installations were carried out in karstic rock (sandstone and limestone) with voids and caverns. Pilot bores were drilled by using a Down-The-Hole 4″ directional air powered hammer, equipped with a wireline Digitrack guidance system. Each borehole was reamed up to 550 mm (22 in). The overall installation length was 1.000 m (3,300 ft). Max crossing length: 220 m.

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.
Client: Colli Drill Spa, Rome – ITALY
Year: 1994-2007
What I did: I designed the product (drill pipes) in a wide range of diameters, connection types and lengths, setting-up all the mechanical calculation methods; then I studied the manufacturing process (friction welding, thermo-chemical treatments, post welding heat treatments) and all the control procedures; and finally I designed and supervised the construction of the manufacturing plant. Six year of continuous research, enthusiasm, errors and success, achieving a deep knowledge about the directional drilling process, and steel and metallurgy. We set a new standard reference in the industry of drill pipes for shallow horizontal directional drilling. Some patents and some innovative ideas complete the achievements reached thanks to this collaboration.
