Approach Trench (1)

2. Dig an approach trench (1) along the
intended bore path.
Target Trench (2)
1. Select a completion point for the drilling project.
2. Dig a target trench (2) across the anticipated completion point.
IMPORTANT: The approach trench
should be at least:
• deep enough for pipe to lay flat
and enter soil at correct angle
• 20’ (6 m) long
• 4” (100 mm) wide
IMPORTANT: The actual length of the target trench depends on soil conditions and length of pipe
sections. Make it deep enough for drill bit to enter slightly above the trench floor.
