Horizontal Directional Drilling
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a technique used to install underground utilities such as water and gas pipelines, fiber optic cables and other underground infrastructure. It is a very effective and efficient method of underground installation, and has been used in the construction industry for many years. The process of HDD involves drilling a pilot hole in the ground and then reaming the hole to the required size. This is done using a drill rig that contains a rotating drill head and a special type of drilling fluid. The drill head is then steered along a predetermined path in order to reach the target destination. The advantages of HDD over traditional excavation methods include reduced disruption to surface structures, less damage to the environment, and less disruption to the surrounding area. HDD is also much faster and more efficient than traditional methods, and can be used in difficult terrain and soil conditions. HDD is a complex process and requires experienced p
