Horizontal Directional Drill Services
Besides being environmentally friendly, affordable, and faster than other drilling methods, HDD also allows for more flexibility in its drilling operations. The less excavation required, the less risk to your employees and equipment. HDD enables access to resources that are not vertically aligned or located under barriers such as buildings, lakes, or other obstructed areas.
Due to the nature of HDD, such as its ability to create less debris and cause less disturbance to its surroundings, our clients find that getting approval for construction work is often easier when horizontal directional drilling is involved.
Benefits of Horizontal Directional Drilling
- Environmental Protection
HDD minimizes surface disturbance, reducing the environmental impact compared to open-cut trenching. This method is ideal for crossing roads, rivers, wetlands, and protected areas without disrupting natural habitats. - Cost-Effective Solutions
Our advanced HDD techniques allow for multiple boring sizes from a single drill rig, reducing overall project costs by minimizing equipment needs and labor expenses while maximizing efficiency. - Precision and Accuracy
We use state-of-the-art F2 & Subsite Locating Systems and Digital Drill Profiles to ensure precise drilling, accurate utility placement, and optimal performance for underground infrastructure projects.
Applications for Directional Drilling
- Oil and Gas Industry
HDD is widely used in oil and gas exploration and pipeline installations, enabling access to reservoirs that are not vertically aligned while reducing the impact on surface environments. - Utility Installation
We use HDD to install power lines, water and gas pipelines, fiber optics, telecommunications lines, and sewer mainlines without disturbing roads, sidewalks, or sensitive environments. - Environmental Remediation
HDD is an essential tool in environmental cleanup efforts, allowing for the underground installation of remediation systems to safely treat contaminated sites.
Factors Contributing to Cost Savings
- Reduced Labor Costs
HDD requires smaller crews than traditional trenching methods, significantly lowering labor expenses while maintaining efficiency. - Minimal Equipment Needs
Unlike open trenching, which often requires bulldozers, excavators, and heavy machinery, HDD typically only requires the drill rig and guidance equipment, reducing operational costs. - Lower Restoration Costs
Because HDD does not require extensive surface excavation, site restoration costs are significantly reduced or even eliminated, making it an ideal choice for urban and environmentally sensitive projects. - Faster Project Completion
HDD projects can be completed faster than traditional excavation, reducing overall project duration, labor costs, and downtime, making it a cost-effective solution for critical infrastructure installations.
