Abstract
This paper describes a research project sponsored by the Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI). The objective of the research was to provide designers with hard data for use in specifying steel pipe coating systems for horizontally directionally drilled (HDD) pipeline crossings. This was accomplished by determining the performance characteristics of various coating systems when subjected to simulated HDD installation loads in rock. A testing device utilizing rock core samples from actual HDD river crossing projects was designed to replicate, as close as practical, HDD installation loading conditions. Testing resulted in determination of coating wear rates for various coatings.
