Horizontal Drilling

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is widely used for installing underground infrastructure such as telecommunications and power cable conduits, water, gas and oil mains, as well as sewers and other utility installations that require a trenchless solution. HDD is an accurate and efficient method for crossing waterways, roadways, shore approaches, congested areas, environmentally sensitive areas and a variety of other obstacles with minimal environmental impact or disturbance. Horizontal Directional Drilling is used in situations that requires alternative method over conventional open trench and situation where deep trenches are necessary where high volume of dewatering is required. Similarly, HDD can be applied areas where other methods are costlier or not practical.

When considering the carbon footprint involved with conventional open-cut methods, Directional Drilling is an often-overlooked alternative that can greatly increase sustainability by massively reducing the volume of plant required, use of imported aggregates and minimising local traffic disruption.
