Directional drilling is a method of installing pipes and ducts underground as an alternative to traditional open cut techniques, or in circumstances where these methods are not practical. By utilising directional drilling, it minimises disruption to the public and the environment. Directional drilling can be utilised in various ground conditions ranging from cohesive to rock.
Installations can be carried out under road, rails, rivers or other areas where traditional methods are not suitable. Installation lengths of in excess of 1000m have been achieved and diameters of up to 1000mm have been successfully completed.
