Typically, trenchless drilling rig is used in cable laying in power system. Then through the windlass; the cable is pulled
into the pipeline. Although the size of the pull-back force is very important to calculate the pull-back force in cable
laying, the existing calculation equation for pull-back force is targeted at pull-back force in pipeline laying. This article
analyzes the frequently-used calculation equations and its service condition in pipeline laying. And a pull-back force
test instrument in cable laying is designed, by which a large number of pull-back force of cable laying in practical
engineering project is collected. Through the comparison of the measured values and calculation values by the equation
for pull-back force, it is founded that the equation for pull-back force in pipeline laying is suitable for the calculation of
pull-back force in cable laying in case that it multiplied by a certain coefficient.
ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS: HDD, pull-back force in pipeline laying, pull-back force in cable laying, test
instrument for pull-back force.

INTRODUCTION
Trenchless technology (HDD) is an underground pipeline
laying technology without excavating surface. As Figure 1
shows, it is a construction diagram of pipeline laying by
trenchless drilling rig, which can be divided into the following
three stages:

wirerope. Here the drag force is related to the size of the bearing
capacity of wirerope and the power of windlass, so it is needed
to calculate the pull-back force before construction. However,
there is no related research on the calculation method of
pull-back force in cable laying yet. Because the previous
construction of the pull-back force is estimated by experienced
workers, the fracture is easy to happen for the bearing capacity
of wirerope is less than the cable-laying drag force (Marcaccio,
Spagnoli and Frascari, 2003). Thus, the calculation of the
pull-back force in cable laying is particularly important.
There exists many calculation equations for pull-back force
in pipeline laying, in which mud property, friction between the
pipeline and soil as well as the influence of different soil on the
laying drag force in the process of pipeline laying should be
considered. But in the process of calculating pull-back force in
cable laying, these effects are not considered. As Figure 3 shows,
it is actual pipeline path of a trenchless cable laying
construction.
