A complete HDD engineering platform
From live geodata and 3D ground modelling to drilling forces, settlement analysis, and submission-ready deliverables.
Parametric Route Generation
Sweep hundreds of candidate alignments and score each on length, cover, clearance, curvature, settlement, constructability, and risk. Compare the top routes side by side.
Drilling Force Calculations
Stage-by-stage pullback forces to ASTM F1962 / ASCE MOP 108 — friction, buoyancy, capstan effects, and fluid drag — with an automatic rig capacity check and factor of safety.
Settlement & FEA Analysis
Gaussian settlement troughs (O'Reilly & New) plus full 2D plane-strain finite element analysis. Multi-pass volume loss modelling from pilot bore to final ream.
3D Geology Viewer
Interactive 3D ground model built from LIDAR terrain, BGS borehole records, and interpolated strata surfaces — with your bore path threaded through it.
Live GB Geodata
Ordnance Survey NGD mapping, BGS geology, DEFRA LIDAR, satellite imagery, and OpenStreetMap buried-plant evidence — fetched live for your site.
AI Delivery Agents
Ten specialist agents take a project from survey to sign-off — GDR authoring, RAMS, technical review, QA audit, cost estimating, consents, and environmental screening.
Hydraulics & Drilling Fluids
Annular velocity and cuttings transport checks, Bingham-plastic pressure losses, hydrofracture assessment, and soil-specific fluid formulation recommendations.
Full GDR Reports
A 13-section Ground Design Report PDF — geotechnical parameters, bore design, hydrofracture, settlement, scored risk register, monitoring triggers, and bibliography.
DXF & DWG Export
Production-ready AutoCAD-compatible drawings. Plan, long section, rod-by-rod station table, and title block — all in a single layered file. No AutoCAD licence needed.
How it works
From survey data to production drawings in four steps.
Import
Load topo, GI, GPR, and bathymetric surveys (DWG/DXF/PDF), or let CurveHDD pull LIDAR terrain, BGS boreholes, and OS mapping for your site automatically.
Model the Ground
Review the inferred strata model, edit layers in the strata designer, and explore the site in the 3D geology viewer before you commit to a design.
Design & Analyse
Generate and score hundreds of candidate routes, then run pullback forces, hydraulics, hydrofracture, and settlement analysis on your chosen alignment.
Deliver
Export production-ready DXF/DWG drawings, a full multi-section GDR, RAMS, cost estimates, and QA reports — ready for submission.
