Automated bore planning method and apparatus for horizontal directional drilling |
摘要 |
A system and method provide for electronic development of a bore plan for use in connection with an underground boring machine. Electronically developing a bore plan involves receiving bore path plan information representative of an intended bore path at the bore site, which may include topographical and utility related information. A pre-established bore plan is generated using the received bore path plan information. Actual bore path information is acquired indicative of an actual bore path produced by the boring machine. A modified bore plan is generated using the actual bore path information and at least some of the bore path plan information. The modified bore plan comprises data representative of a modified bore path that minimizes a deviation in alignment between the actual bore path and the intended bore path. Selected bore plan data can be displayed in both textual and graphical forms.
