SIST EN 16228-3:2014/oprA1:2019

Drilling and foundation equipment - Safety - Part 3: Horizontal directional drilling equipment (HDD)

This European Standard, together with part 1, deals with all significant hazards for horizontal directional drilling equipment (HDD) when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer associated with the whole life time of the machine (see Clause 4).
The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in EN 16228 1:2014.
This document does not repeat the requirements from EN 16228 1, but adds or replaces the requirements for application for horizontal directional drills.
A machine is considered a horizontal directional drill if it is designed to drill in a shallow arc for the installation of pipes, conduits, and cables and typically has a drill string entry angle of less than 45° relative to the operating surface of the earth.

Overview

SIST EN 16228-3:2014/oprA1:2019 is a crucial European Standard developed by CEN for the safety of horizontal directional drilling equipment (HDD). It complements and updates the common safety requirements outlined in EN 16228-1, specifically targeting HDD machines used for the installation of pipes, conduits, and cables via shallow arc drilling methods. This standard addresses all significant hazards associated with horizontal directional drills throughout their lifecycle under normal and foreseeable misuse conditions as defined by the manufacturer.

Horizontal directional drills are characterized by a drill string entry angle of less than 45° relative to the earth's surface, making them specialized machinery used extensively in underground construction and infrastructure projects. SIST EN 16228-3:2014/oprA1:2019 ensures that such equipment meets stringent safety requirements to protect operators, maintenance personnel, and the environment during drilling operations.

Key Topics

• Hazard Identification and Risk Mitigation: Provides a comprehensive list of significant hazards related to HDD equipment operation and maintenance, including mechanical, electrical, and operational risks.
• Machine Design Requirements: Updates specific design considerations for brakes, ground pressure distribution, roller and leaf chains, and drill frame extensions to enhance operational safety and reliability.
• Access and Servicing: Specifies safe access protocols to operating positions and servicing points to minimize the risk of accidents during inspections and repairs.
• Transport and Handling: Clarifies safety measures for retrieval, transportation, lifting, and towing of HDD machines and their parts to reduce hazards during movement and deployment.
• Control and Warning Devices: Introduces enhanced requirements for warning signs and devices, including protective measures for stopping rotation and feed, ensuring operators are adequately alerted to potential dangers.
• Documentation and Testing: Emphasizes the importance of operator manuals, warning signs, and comprehensive fitness-for-purpose testing to confirm that machines meet all safety criteria before use.
• Amendments and Harmonization: Incorporates modifications aligning EN 16228-3 with the latest amendments to EN 16228-1, ensuring uniformity and up-to-date compliance across all drilling equipment standards within the European Union.

Applications

SIST EN 16228-3:2014/oprA1:2019 is specifically applicable in industries and projects involving:

• Installation of underground utilities such as water, gas, telecommunications, and electrical conduits.
• Civil engineering works that require trenchless technology to minimize surface disruption.
• Foundation construction projects requiring horizontal boreholes for structural support elements.
• Environmental and urban infrastructure initiatives emphasizing reduced ecological impact during underground construction.
• Safety compliance for manufacturers, contractors, and operators of horizontal directional drilling machinery across Europe and other regions adopting EN standards.

This standard serves as a critical reference to ensure HDD equipment is safely designed, operated, maintained, and transported, thereby reducing risks associated with underground drilling operations.

Related Standards

• EN 16228-1:2014 + prA1:2019 – Common safety requirements for drilling and foundation equipment, establishing the baseline safety criteria applied across all parts including HDD machinery.
• EN 16228-2 – Focused on safety requirements for crawler drilling rigs, complementing part 3 by addressing another category of drilling equipment.
• ISO 11161 – Safety of machinery used for earth-moving, relevant for aligning equipment safety requirements with international best practices.
• EN 795 – Personal fall protection equipment used in conjunction with drilling machines for operator safety.
• EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC – Legislative framework ensuring that machinery placed on the European market complies with health and safety requirements.

By aligning EN 16228-3 with these related standards, manufacturers and users of HDD equipment can achieve comprehensive safety compliance and operational excellence in the construction equipment sector.
