Horizontal Directional Drilling
The term Horizontal Directional Drilling or Trenchless Installation refers to a method whereby underground services are installed without the need to disturb surfaces, structures of other preexisting services.
Collectively referred to as Trenchless Technology, this method basically entails the creation of an underground tunnel large enough to accommodate whatever cables, pipes, or ducts are required, and the subsequent installation of those services.
The main advantages of Trenchless Technology are:
- Installation of services where no viable alternative exists
- Speed of installation & project completion
- Minimal to zero environmental or visual impact
- Zero subsequent rectification works
- Savings in excavation and shoring costs
- Remove the possibility of trenching related accidents
- Faster and neater
- Ideal for sites sensitive to surface disruptions
