Drilling in an urban setting
Crossing rivers
Installation of outlets or pumping stations
Contaminated soil
Installation over long distances
We have used horizontal directional drilling to install conduits for gas, water mains, electricity, sewer and fibre optics. There are many possible applications for directional drilling. Here are a few examples.
