Arttcle 7. INTERIM GUIDELINES FOR
HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING (HDD) UNDER
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD RIGNT-OF-WAY
Preface: The American Railway Engineering and Main#enance-of-iNay Association (AREMA) has assigned
a working committee to develop a recommended railroad industry practice for horizontal directional
driliing (HDD) under railroad rights-of-way. These interim guidelines are issued by the Union Pacific
Railroad (UPRR) pending completion of the AREMA recommended practice, at which time UPRR will
review and determine whether to adopt it.
Scope: All pipelines proposed for instalfa#ion under UPRR right-of-way and trackage using HDD. Fiber
optics installation under the jurisdiction of the UPRR information Technologies (IT) Department with 10
inch or smaller diameter casing pipe shall #oilow the guidelines outlined in the current version of the
"Fiber Optic Engineering, Construction and Maintenance" Standard Manual.
1. For all liquid or gas pipelines, only stee) pipe may be installed under tracks or UPRR right-of-way
utilizing HDD. The pipe may be used as a carrier pipe or a casing pipe. Plastic carrier pipe, if used,
must be installed in a steel casing.
2. For fiber optics (not under the jurisdiction of UPRR IT Department) or electrical installations, plastic
(PVC or HDPE) pipe may be used as a conduit.
3. For all liquid or gas installations or for nominal pipe sizes exceeding 6 in., minimum cover (measured
from base of rail to top of pipe) shall be 25 ft, regardless of product. For fiber optics or electrical
installations, with casing/conduit nomina) size of 6 in. or less, minimum cover shall be 15 ft. Applicant
submittal shall include actuaf planned depth of pipe under each railroad track.
4. Applicant must provide pipe specifications. Pipe must satisfy AREMA recommendations and all
applicable government and industry regulations.
S. Applicant must provide 9ualifications of driliing contractor including specific instances of previous
successfiil experience in drilling under sensitive surface facilities.
6. Prior to commencement of drilling:
A. The contractor must submit an ListaUation Plan that describes the anticipated rig capacity, #he
proposed equipment and the metliod for advancing the borehole ttu-ough eapected soil conditions,
angles, depth and exact location of the exit ditch, the pilot hole diameter, the proposed reaming
plan, including the number and diameter of pre-reams/back-reams and diameter ofthe filial
reamed borehole, and the coiitingency equipmeilt aild plans for dealing with soil conditions that a
soil engineer could reasonabiy expect to be encountered at the proposed HDU installation site.
The hlstallation Plan will also address the anticipated hours of operation during the HDD
borehole drilling and installation process, the minimum nucnber of personnel, and their
responsibilities on-duty and on-site during all HDD drillijig operations.
B. The contractor must provide a detailed Fracture Mitigation (frac-out) Plan including method
of monitorliig and capturing the return of drilling fluids with particular attention to prevention
of inadvertent escape of drilling fluids where they could undeitinine the Railroad tracks.
, . . . -
C. Establisli a Survey Grid Line acid provide a program of monitoring and documenting the
actual location of the borehole during drilling operations.
7. A rail;•oad observet- and an applicant icispector are required to monitor the ground, ballast, and track
for movement dtiring thc drilling, i-eamiug, and pullback processes. Allwork within the Railroad
right-of-Nvay must be coordinated widi the Railroad flagger, The installation process and all tt'alll
movement must be irntnediately stopped if movement is detected. The damaged area inust be
immediately reported to the Railroad and immediateIy repau•ed subject to Railroad review and
approval. The installation process must be reviewed aud modified as required befol•e the
installation may proceed. Applicant must pay Railroad's expenses for review, observation of
installation, and flagging.
8. Upon completion of the HDD instaUation work, the contractor shall provide an accurate as-buiit
drawing of the uistalled HDD segment. As-built drawings will include both horizontal and profile
pians.
