Benefits of HDD
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is used for crossing roadways, congested areas, waterways, shore approaches, sensitive environmental areas and other locations that are either expensive for other methods or just not possible. Advantages of HDD include less disruption to traffic, cheaper cost, can have deeper and/or longer installations, shorter time for completion, directional capabilities and environmentally safer. It also has extensive use in urban areas for developing subsurface utilities and helping avoid extensive open cut trenches. The work area can also be safely modified to be more compact if space is ever limited.
Maneuvering
An important aspect of the drilling head is the location and guidance. Due to the drilling head not being visible from ground surface, if the drilling goes unguided or uncontrolled it could lead to substantial damage. This is why it is important for the drill head to be properly maneuvered. Guidelines developed by organizations promoting trench-less technology are followed for safe work execution and for the protection of government owned utilities.
Safety
In order for our drilling method to become standardized, we follow guidelines created by organizations to avoid damaging agency/government-owned utilities. Our operators have complete information about existing utilities so they can plan the alignment to avoid damaging said utilities. These rules ensure for safe work execution and standardizing HDD.

Permits
Permits are usually easier to obtain due to reduced surface impact and the crossings being secure and hidden.
Environment
HDD is environmentally friendlier and is much more useful for when surface impact needs to be minimized.
Uses
HDD has extensive use in urban areas for developing subsurface utilities and helping avoid open cut trenches.
Our Projects
What We do
Enlarging
The hole is enlarged by passing several reamer(s) of various size(s) since it depends on the size of the pipe to be installed. Once this is process is completed the pipe may begin to be installed.
Process
The process starts with locating all existing utilities at the entrance pit and exiting pit. A pilot hole is drilled on the designed path. The process starts with the receiving hole and entrance pits. The drilling fluid is collected and reclaimed through these pits to reduce costs and prevent waste.
