Horizontal directional drilling is a popular choice for pipe installations when crossing highways, railways, bodies of water, or any other obstacles that pose challenges to traditional open cut.

​

The process begins with a consultation with the project owner to establish a bore path and determine the required rig size for the pipe length and diameter.

​

A safety program is then created to identify potential hazards, utility crossings, and methodology for safely completing each task involved.

​

Once all permits are in place, a pilot bore will be drilled, guided by an experienced steering technician to follow the established bore path.

​

The hole can then be opened up in stages to the necessary size to pull the product pipe back through.
