Horizontal Directional Drilling
With 35 years of trenchless construction experience, we’re widely recognized as one of the most capable HDD providers for large-diameter and complex crossing projects.
What is Horizontal Directional Drilling?
The HDD process involves installing underground pipes, conduits, or cables without needing traditional trench excavation. We drill a pilot hole along a designed path, enlarge it with sequential reaming passes, and then pull the pipe or conduit back through the prepared hole.
Benefits of HDD
The use of HDD shines in challenging conditions like rivers, highways, and environmentally sensitive areas or when site conditions make conventional open trench installations impractical.
Record of Success
Our history with HDD spans 40 states and 13 countries. It includes nearly 2,000 trenchless crossings and over 1,100 miles of completed trenchless installations.
Using the Direct Pipe method, a 4,900-foot-long, 42-inch-diameter steel pipe was seamlessly installed, creating a crucial link for a natural gas transmission pipeline.
Electrical conduits seamlessly link Coconut Grove substation to the Simpson substation to increase reliability of an existing power grid.
