Pipe installed by the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) method is typically unreachable for repair. Thus, the pipe coating needs to survive the initial installation to provide the longest potential for protection. There isn’t currently a standard which guides coating selection industry wide, but this paper will provide guidance on potential ways to evaluate and can serve as a backbone for developing a standard.
