Horizontal directional drilling is a cutting-edge technology that enables the precise installation of underground utilities like fiber optic cables, pipelines, and more. By avoiding costly and disruptive traditional digging methods, we provide a flexible and accurate solution that minimizes surface impact.
Steel, ductile iron, PVC, HDPE ( 20mm to 500mm) are some of the options. Most oil and gas directional drilling installations use high-strength steel pipe. Polyethylene pipe is commonly used by oil companies because of its flexibility. It handles scratches well, but it can deform or collapse in unstable soil.
Horizontal directional drilling is a technology in pipe and utility installation that allows greater accuracy and flexibility in placement and ends the need for costly digging, large crew, road closures and other complications of traditional digging and pipe installation. Horizontal directional drilling is a steerable guided method of installing underground utilities (Viz, OFC, PC, Gas Pipeline, Water & Sewerage Pipeline etc.) in a prescribed bore path using a surface launched HDD Machines.
It is a low disturbance approach for accurately and efficiently crossing roads, railways, rivers, bays and a variety of other obstacles with minimal environmental impact. HDD is used in situations that allow for an angled installation, and requires adequate space to set up a drill pad at the rig site.
We have used our nearly two decades of operational knowledge to develop a safe, modern, and well-maintained HDD fleet. Each piece of equipment is operated by highly experienced crews with the expertise and training to work in all conditions and terrains.
HDD is commonly used for installing telecommunications, gas, water, sewer pipelines, electrical conduits, and fiber-optic cables. It’s especially effective for small diameter telecom and gas conduits, with installation lengths ranging.
HDD minimizes surface disruption, reducing the impact on local environments and communities. It decreases risks of soil erosion, sedimentation, and pollutant release .
Unlike traditional excavation methods, HDD eliminates the need for large trenches. This results in faster installation times, making it efficient for various soil types and locations, including under rivers and highways .
Faster installation translates to cost savings. Additionally, HDD requires smaller crews, reducing labor costs and optimizing project budgets .
