Horizontal Directional Drilling

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method of installing pipelines and conduits in the areas where traditional open cut excavations are not feasible and/or not desired for environmental and/or constructibility reasons. It is commonly used for the installation of pipelines beneath rivers, highways, railroads and other environmentally sensitive areas or areas where the topography or site conditions along a proposed alignment, conflicts with conventional cut and cover installation practices.

During the HDD process, a pilot hole is first drilled along a predetermined path. The pilot hole is then enlarged in single or multiple steps (reaming passes) to accommodate the pullback of the carrier pipe into the enlarged hole. We are presently operating HDD rigs capable of completing projects both large and small pipe sizes.
