Chlorosis is a plant disease in which the leaf tissue becomes pale or yellowish due to a lack of chlorophyll. This can lead to the death of the plant as it loses the ability to manufacture carbohydrates through photosynthesis. It is possible to combat the disease with used drilling fluid. Chlorosis… View Full Term

An invert level is defined as the elevation of the inside-bottom of a pipe, trench, culvert, or tunnel. It may also be considered the "floor level" of a pipe. Invert levels are essential for assessing the flow in a piping system. For example, the invert of a municipal sewer…
A backdrop manhole is a drop shaft installed either externally or internally in a manhole in a sewer network. Backdrop manholes connect pipes of differing invert levels and allow for the pipe at a higher level to connect to the lower level pipe with minimum fall. Typically, backdrop…
Hoop stress is the stress that occurs along the pipe’s circumference when pressure is applied. Hoop stress acts perpendicular to the axial direction. Hoop stresses are tensile and generated to resist the bursting effect that results from the application of pressure. Three principal…
Joining pipes is one of the most vital aspects of completing any plumbing job, whether it's new or a rehabilitation. The pipe joints must withstand the pressure from each line going through the joint. To employ the best pipe joining method, workers must understand the different…

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a conventional method employed by cities and construction workers to install utilities and plumbing underground. Unlike traditional underground installation, HDD does not require open trenches to complete. Equipment Needed for HDD As horizontal…
Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and microtunnel boring machines (MTBMs) are used to construct underground tunnels and passages with circular cross-sections. They both use a drilling mechanism, known as a cutting head, to remove material and advance the equipment forward. However, both these…
