Small Footprint Commercial Directional Drilling

Stockcode:

Directional Drilling is a cost effective and environmentally friendly solution for many underground installation projects. Instead of digging trenches to lay pipes/ducts and cables EPS Trenchless Installations use a technique called horizontal directional drilling or HDD.

This method involves drilling a pilot borehole along a predetermined bore path. The hole is then enlarged following the path set by the pilot bore, this is known as back reaming. Then the product pipe is pulled in behind this.

Pipe sizes range from 25mm to 225mm with distances up to 90m installed in one shot. Directional drilling uses a small footprint with no need for deep excavations and operates through various ground types.
