Directional drilling, or horizontal directional drilling (HDD), is an underground drilling method to install service pipes and conduits that will minimize the physical damage to the area above ground. This directional drilling can be used for both residential areas that are highly congested and multiple miles of pipeline runs.

What is directional drilling used for?

Directional drilling is used for time and resource conservative installation of various pipelines. These pipeline applications include gas, sewer, water, oil, and power pipelines and conduits. This method is particularly useful when operating in areas of dense population or residential areas when the temporary demolition of roads or property is more tedious and costly.
