Directional Drilling Works

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is used when trenching or excavating is not practical. HDD is a steerable trenchless method of installing underground pipes, conduits and cables in a shallow arc along a prescribed path

Advantages

• Short, medium or long lengths of pipe can be installed without intermediate pits
• Pipes can be installed either straight or curved to steer clear of obstacles
• No disruption to road, river or rail traffic and no scarring of the landscape
• Equipment works from surface with no need for deep excavations
• HDD is quick and in many cases has lower overall costs
• HDD is unaffected by surface obstacles
• Can be used to install pipes in changeable ground conditions
