What is Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)?

Horizontal Directional Drilling, also known as HDD, is a trenchless method of drilling that is used for installing underground pipes and cables. Horizontal Directional Drilling ensures the installation of pipes and cables without any need for extra excavation, which makes it different and more efficient from the traditional drilling. Horizontal Directional Drilling creates a pilot hole in the ground on a fixed path which is enlarged to accommodate the requirements of the pipelines. Through Horizontal Directional Drilling the pipelines are pulled from the borehole, which aids in installation of the system with minimal surface disruption of the surface.

Why choose Horizontal Directional Drilling?

You should choose Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) for your projects because:

Less Disruption

The need of excavation reduces visibly in HDD, that causes less disruption and minimum invasion. It also helps in preserving the surface and thus, reducing the impact on the environment. This system is quite effective in urban areas or places with existing infrastructure, or environmentally sensitive areas.

Easy on Pockets

Since there is less excavation and disruption in this process, the restoration work is also less. That way the overall project cost can be reduced marginally, and the process thus will be easy on pockets. The process is also time efficient as it is quick and shortens the project timelines.

Flexibility

Horizontal Directional Drilling can be used on different soil conditions and terrains. It is a versatile process and is ideal for obstructions like rivers, railway lines, etc. with the least disruption to the surface.

Precision

Horizontal Directional Drilling is a modern technology that ensures there is absolute precision in drilling direction, path, and depth so that the underground installations can be done accurately.

Safety

As discussed above, there is less excavation required in Horizontal Directional Drilling which means lesser safety compromises with the life of workers and the public. The entire process becomes less hazardous for the people involved, making it a safer and better option.

Horizontal Directional Drilling Process at WELTEX

At WELTEX, we are committed to deliver the best of the Horizontal Directional Drilling services from beginning to end. Let us understand the Horizontal Directional Drilling process provided by us:

Planning & Design

There can be no successful Horizontal Directional Drilling without a proper fail proof plan. That is why we assess the site, check the soil conditions, the status of the existing underground utilities (if any), and other factors that should be considered. We then, in collaboration with our clients, prepare a meticulous design of drilling that would cater to your specific requirements and will also adhere to all the regulations and requirements.

Pilot Hole Drilling

In our Horizontal Directional Drilling process, we drill a pilot hole on a fixed path using advanced drilling and steering techniques. Our expert drillers ensures that there is a proper control over the drilling area.

Hole Enlargement

After the pilot hole is drilled, we enlarge the hole as per the requirements of the utilities to be installed. The diameter of the hole can be managed through our expert tools.

Installation of the Utility

The utility is then installed through the enlarged borehole. This is typically the final step and during this process our team ensures that the installation is properly done without any unnecessary damage to the surface & surroundings.

Restoration of the Site

After successful completion of the installation process, we restore the site to its original condition. We also ensure that there is a minimum impact of the entire installation process on the surface and surrounding areas. We would leave the site after the installation as if we never came in the first place.

Applications of Horizontal Directional Drilling

Horizontal Directional Drilling is a very flexible solution that can be used in a variety of industries. Some most widely used purposes of Horizontal Directional Drilling are:

In Water & Sewer Lines

Horizontal Directional Drilling is the best solution for installation of water and sewer lines in areas with existing constructions as it does not require any disruptive opening of the surface.

Oil and Gas Pipelines

Again, Horizontal Directional Drilling is often used in the oil and gas industry for laying underground pipelines in areas with difficult terrains and areas that are environmentally sensitive in nature.
