Abstract: In recent years the decreasing cost and increasing availability of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) equipment has made trenchless construction more affordable and customary. Customer sensitivity to disturbance of the landscape has also made the use of trenchless construction methods more attractive. In 1996, Baltimore, Gas & Electric Company (BGE) became concerned about the potential for damage to polyethylene pipe due to excessive tensile forces exerted during the pipe pullback operation. BGEs solution was to work with Condux to manufacture a calibrated mechanical breakaway device for use during pullback to limit the amount of force imposed on the pipe.
