  4. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM WHAT IS UMS UMS IS A NEW MACHINE FOR SITE CHARACTERISATION IN HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS. UMS REPRESENTS AN EXTENSION OF INTRUSIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR SITE CHARACTERISATION. IS BASED ON HORIZONTAL DRY DIRECTIONAL DRILLING TECHNOLOGIES NATO/CCMS May 2004

  5. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM WHAT IS UMS SURGERY METAPHORE In medical practice a Biopsy needle is used fortissues characterisation UMS uses a new tool called geopsy needle since it achieves site diagnosis by aspiration through a needle as in tissue biopsy. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  6. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM WHAT IS UMS UMS IS A NEW TOOL FOR BOREHOLE DRILLING INTRUSIVE INVESTIGATION NATO/CCMS May 2004

  7. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM WHAT IS UMS UMS IS BASED ON ESPOSITOGROUPPROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY FOR HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING NATO/CCMS May 2004

  8. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING MACHINE Horizontal Directional Drilling is a trenchless construction technique, using guided drilling for creating an arc profile. This technique is used for long-distance drilling such as in lagoons, under rivers, or highly-urbanized areas. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  9. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING • The process involves three main stages: • drilling a pilot hole • enlargement of the pilot hole • pullback installation of the carrier pipe • Horizontal Directional Drilling is becoming a preferred practice for installing pipelines, cables, water and sewer lines, horizontal wells for contaminated site remediationand for drinking water supply, and other infrastructural elements. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  10. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING Main advantage is the combination of speed and reliability with minimal environmental impact in installation. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  11. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM HORIZONTAL DRY DIRECTIONAL DRILLING (HDDD™) HDDD™ IS A TRADE MARK OF SE INDUSTRIES AN ESPOSITOGROUP ENTERPRISE NATO/CCMS May 2004

  12. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM HORIZONTAL DRY DIRECTIONAL DRILLING The operation of the SE Technology boring system is based on a directional boring head with a percussion system. The unit operates by using compressed air to drive both thrust and pullback actions as well as rotation and percussion at the drill head. Spoil is removed by the compressed air flow through the bore hole. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  13. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM HORIZONTAL DRY DIRECTIONAL DRILLING Tracking is achieved by similar techniques to systems using liquid drilling fluids, but the electronic sonde in the head has to be fitted with a shock absorber to dampen the effects of the percussion system. The system can be used to drill all soil types. Further advantages include no requirement for a mud mixing plant, no bentonite requirement and therefore no fluid losses to the ground. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  14. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM HORIZONTAL DRY DIRECTIONAL DRILLING HOW DOES IT WORK NATO/CCMS May 2004

  15. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM BASED ON HORIZONAL DRY DIRECTIONAL DRILLING TECHNOLOGY A NEW TOOL UNDERGROUND MONITORING SYSTEM NATO/CCMS May 2004

  16. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM UNDERGROUND MONITORING SYSTEM UMS is a technology derived from theCADRIANN research project. CADRIANN is a research project funded by the Italian Ministry for Higher Education, Training and Research(Anagrafe nazionale della Ricerca 51018XTU). SCIENTIFIC REFEREE FRANCESCO JOVANE ITIA - CNR RESEARCH DIRECTOR PAOLO COSTA NATO/CCMS May 2004

  17. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM UNDERGROUND MONITORING SYSTEM • This project has improved HDDD™ technology with: • a learning system called Ground Recognition System capable to recognize underground properties while drilling, storing and enhancing its experience with time. • anon-line path correction based onadynamic programming method. • a proprietary Wireline Inertial Measurement Unit (WIMU)by which the driller can track the orientation and position of the bore hole assembly, in real-time NATO/CCMS May 2004

  18. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM UNDERGROUND MONITORING SYSTEM These tools are used for developing a new machine specifically applied to monitoring underground pollution. These results extend the no dig technology to a new class of machine called No Dig Underground Monitoring System (UMS). NATO/CCMS May 2004

  19. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM UNDERGROUND MONITORING SYSTEM HOW DOES IT WORK NATO/CCMS May 2004

  20. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM UNDERGROUND MONITORING SYSTEM • This system works according to two phases: • First phase: UMS recognizes underground properties and then localizes the candidate area in order to define the site characterisation plan. • Second phase: the system localizes the selected area more precisely and accomplishes a directional core boring. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  21. PHASE I DIAGRAPHY AND SETTING RODS FOR DIRECTIONAL CORE BORING DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM UNDERGROUND MONITORING SYSTEM NATO/CCMS May 2004

  22. THE RIG IS EQUIPPED WITH GROUND RECOGNITION SYSTEM (GRS). GRS IS A LEARNING SYSTEM THAT UTILIZES THE RIG AS SENSOR IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE THE GROUND LITHOLOGY. GRS GAINS KNOWLEDGE BY EXPERIENCE AND STORES IT IN A KNOWLEDGE BASE. THE RIG EQUIPPED WITH GROUND RECOGNITION SYSTEM DRILLES A PILOT BORE, AND AT THE SAME TIME, IT RECOGNIZES CANDIDATE AREA TO DEFINE A PLANNING FOR SITE CHARACTERISATION

  23. THESE DATA AND THE KNOWLEDGE BASE ARE USED FROM AN ON-LINE ALGORITHM IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE UNDERGROUND FEATURES. WHILE DRILLING SOME MECHANICAL PARAMETERS ARE ACQUIRED FROM A NETWORK SENSOR INSTALLED ON THE DRILL.

  24. A CHANGE OF LITHOLOGY IS HIGHLIGHTED BY DIFFERENT RESPONSE OF RIG A B WHILE DRILLING DATA ARE VISUALIZED BY A DATA VIEW AND ACQUIRED FOR ANALISYS DURING THIS PHASE, USING A RADIO SONDE, THE POSITION OF THE INVESTIGATED AREA IS DETERMINED.

  25. PHASE II ACCURATE LOCALIZATION OF CHARACTERISATION AREA AND DIRECTIONAL CORE BORING DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM UNDERGROUND MONITORING SYSTEM NATO/CCMS May 2004

  26. WIMU SYSTEM PROVIDES HIGH ACCURACY POSITION OF THE CORE SAMPLE. THE CORE SAMPLE POSITION IS GIVEN WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGIN OF AN INERTIAL FRAME. WIMU INERTIAL FRAME HAS ITS ORIGIN ON HDDD MACHINE AFTER RODS ARE SETTED CORE SAMPLE IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH THE PIPELINE

  27. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM THE PROTOTYPE NATO/CCMS May 2004

  28. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM EXAMPLE LANDFILL MONITORING NATO/CCMS May 2004

  29. Generally landfill characterisation relies on vertical core borings at the landfill border, without monitoring the underneath zone. This is not sufficient for a correct analysis. Non-characterized area

  30. UMS can also recognize the underneath zone of the landfill achieving a more complete localization of the pollution leakage.

  32. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM APPLICATIONS WITH UMS landfill pollution industrial pollution sewer leakage oil leakage toxic substances disposal nuclear contaminated land other applications NATO/CCMS May 2004

  33. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM PLANNED WORKS • AT PRESENT ESPOSITOGROUP IS INVOLVED IN TWO SITE CHARACTERISATION PROJECT WITH UMS IN POLLUTED AREAS: • AN INDUSTRIAL POLLUTED AREA IN NORTH-EAST • ITALY • A LANDFILL SITE IN SOUTHERN ITALY NATO/CCMS May 2004

  34. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM FUTURE WORKS Generally a full site characterization requires both intrusive and non-intrusive methods. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  35. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM FUTURE WORKS AT STATE OF ART NON-INTRUSIVE METHODS PROVIDE CHARACTERISATION OF THE NEAR SURFACE ENVIROMENT NO MORE THAN FEW METERS FROM GROUND SURFACE NATO/CCMS May 2004

  36. Subsoil is a COMPLEX MEDIA DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM FUTURE WORKS Generally non-intrusive investigations fail at few meters depth because there is a lack of definition of complex media physics. A complex media is a media with continually varying material properties. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  37. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM FUTURE WORKS COMPLEX MEDIA PHYSICS The complex media physics is the study of the behavior of electrical, acoustic, electromagnetic fields in a complex media. NATO/CCMS May 2004

  38. DRY DIRECTIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM FUTURE WORKS The underground is a complex geotonic (i.e. with spatially-dependent properties) media. The problem is: learning in real-time the behaviour of physical fields in geotonics complex media by inverse methods in a minimum range of 0-100 meters below surface. Presently this is the open problem for the Espositogroup research center NATO/CCMS May 2004
