Global HDD

GLOBAL HDD Plan. Log. Report. Built for horizontal directional drilling crews, Global HDD brings bore planning, drilling records, field calculations, job photos, paperwork, and reporting together on your phone. BORE PLANNING Create and save jobs with project information, entry and exit details, elevations, pipe sizes, and drilling parameters. Review bore profiles, rod plans, topography, and obstructions. Use aerial imagery and saved GPS coordinates to view the job location. WALK-OVER & WIRELINE LOGS Record drilling information rod by rod. Compare the drilled path with the planned profile, review depth and elevation differences, and prepare As-Built reports. Display options let you choose the information shown in your rod log. PROJECTED PULL Estimate pull requirements using a saved job or manually entered values. Review three buoyancy-control scenarios, section-by-section results, and axial, bending, and hoop stress comparisons against configured limits. PER-JOB PHOTOS & NOTES Keep photos and field notes attached to the correct job. Take photos on site or import them from your photo library so project records stay together. PAPERWORK & SAFETY FORMS Complete field paperwork on your phone: • Job Safety Analysis • Engine Hours & Maintenance • Rental Equipment • Crew Time Sheet • Mud Report • Water Truck & Mud Disposal • 811 Ticket Log Export paperwork as branded PDFs. Send a shift’s paperwork packet to another crew member’s device for import, with conflict review when needed.

Shared job files arrive as unlocked, editable copies on the receiving device. REFERENCE & FIELD CALCULATORS Access HDD reference information and calculators for bore volume, pullback force, submerged pipe weight, drilling fluids, spoils, bend radius, reamer sizing, and other field-planning needs. SAVE, BACK UP & SHARE Core job tools work offline and save automatically. Back up to your device without creating an account. Optional Cloud Backup uses a Global HDD account to store and retrieve protected backup copies. Sign-in is required only for Cloud Backup.

Global HDD is an informational planning and recordkeeping tool. It does not replace professional engineering, surveying, utility locating, manufacturer guidance, or on-site judgment. Independently verify inputs, results, clearances, and field conditions before use. Complex Drill design and logging coming soon.
