In order to ensure safe and efficient mining and improve the efficiency of drilling construction, intelligent drilling technology has been studied in China. This technology is another development on the basis of automation. In addition to the automatic execution of the construction process, it also has the characteristics of intelligent perception, intelligent decision-making and intelligent correction. This technology requires engineering parameter measuring equipment to obtain the engineering parameters such as torque, WOB, inner and outer annulus pressure, rotation speed, vibration, temperature, etc. near the drill bit at the bottom of the hole in real time, so as to realize the real-time monitoring of the drilling process parameters at the bottom of the hole and the stress state of the drilling tool in the process of directional drilling, and increase the effective extraction distance of the drilling hole.

The use of directional drilling techniques for pipeline river crossings has increased sharply over the past few years in Canada and the United States. Improvements in drilling technology and increased experience among a growing number of specialty contractors has helped to reduce the cost of directionally drilled installations and to reduce the risks. The advantages associated with reducing disturbance of the water course by the use of directional drilling are often considered to outweigh the additional costs typically associated with the method. While the advantages of using directional drilling methods are compelling, the technique is not universally suited to all river valleys due to considerations of valley topography and geological setting. Specifically, there are certain geological and geometrical conditions that make the method completely unsuitable. In other cases, the geology beneath the river channel and the valley geometry may present a challenge to a drilled installation that can be overcome with adjustments to the design and drilling technique if anticipated. The implications of encountering unfavourable geological conditions during construction can be significant. The implications can range from substantial construction cost overruns up to several times the original bid price, to installations that cannot be safely put into service and must be abandoned. Under certain geological and geometrical conditions, the risk of blowout or fluid leakage to the water course during installation may be significant. The role of geotechnical and subsurface investigations to identify geological conditions prior to commencing construction is more critical for a drilled installation than for conventional trench techniques, as the consequences of encountering unanticipated conditions can be much more severe with drilled crossings. In addition, a trenched crossing is inherently more flexible than a directional crossing in terms of the ability of the contractor to adapt to different conditions than those anticipated at the start of the work.

Abstract In Poland all lignite mines are dewatered with the use of large-diameter wells. Drilling of such wells is inefficient owing to the presence of loose Quaternary and Tertiary material and considerable dewatering of rock mass within the open pit area. Difficult geological conditions significantly elongate the time in which large-diameter dewatering wells are drilled, and various drilling complications and break-downs related to the caving may occur. Obtaining higher drilling rates in large-diameter wells can be achieved only when new cutter bits designs are worked out and rock drillability tests performed for optimum mechanical parameters of drilling technology. Those tests were performed for a bit ø 1.16 m in separated macroscopically homogeneous layers of similar drillability. Depending on the designed thickness of the drilled layer, there were determined measurement sections from 0.2 to 1.0 m long, and each of the sections was drilled at constant rotary speed and weight on bit values. Prior to drillability tests, accounting for the technical characteristic of the rig and strength of the string and the cutter bit, there were established limitations for mechanical parameters of drilling technology: P ∈ (Pmin; Pmax) n ∈ (nmin; nmax) where: Pmin; Pmax - lowest and highest values of weight on bit, nmin; nmax - lowest and highest values of rotary speed of bit, For finding the dependence of the rate of penetration on weight on bit and rotary speed of bit various regression models have been analyzed. The most satisfactory results were obtained for the exponential model illustrating the influence of weight on bit and rotary speed of bit on drilling rate. The regression coefficients and statistical parameters prove the good fit of the model to measurement data, presented in tables 4-6. The average drilling rate for a cutter bit with profiled wings has been described with the form: Vśr= Z ·Pa· nb where: Vśr- average drilling rate, Z - drillability coefficient, P - weight on bit, n - rotary speed of bit, a - coefficient of influence of weight on bit on drilling rate, b - coefficient of influence of rotary speed of bit on drilling rate. Industrial tests were performed for assessing the efficiency of drilling of large-diameter wells with a cutter bit having profiled wings ø 1.16 m according to elaborated model of average rate of drilling. The obtained values of average rate of drilling during industrial tests ranged from 8.33×10-4 to 1.94×10-3 m/s and were higher than the ones obtained so far, i.e. from 181.21 to 262.11%.

The article provides an analysis of the bearing capacity of barrett piles in difficult geological conditions at a construction site in the city of Hanoi, Vietnam based on the results of analytical calculations according to Russian building codes, mathematical modeling and field full-scale tests. The paper describes a numerical test of a single barrette for Mohr-Coulomb and Hardening Soil models in the Midas GTS NX software package. The bearing capacity of a barrette in soft soils is also proposed to be determined by an analytical solution for calculating the settlement of a single pile, taking into account the unloading of the pit after soil excavation. The results of full-scale tests at the site of future construction, graphs of "load-settlement" of the barrette head from the applied vertical load and the general assessment of the bearing capacity of the barret pile by various methods are shown.

The paper focuses on the pile foundation and footing of the building constructed on a hillside slope and consisting of four three-dimensional blocks. The building is arranged such that to protect the first block constructed on the footslope from the negative technogenic influence of the latter via the embedment of three supporting blocks into the hillside slope. The first three-dimensional block is a three-storey brick building, while the other three are the spatial supporting structures made of insitu reinforced concrete. All the blocks locate at different position levels. The resulting embedded part of the structure matches the class KS-3 construction site safety. It is thus necessary to assess the structural safety of the building constructed in difficult engineering and geological conditions. The MicroFe software is used for finite element dimensional calculations of the pile foundation and footing strength, stability and oscillation after studying the engineering-geological surveys, the analysis of the soil formation, composition and physicalmechanical properties, the piling field. Also, the theoretical model is proposed for the footingfoundation–building system. The obtained results allow assessing the stress-strain state of the pile foundation and footing with the lateral support to the hillside slope of soil.
