What Is Horizontal Directional Drilling?

HDD is a multi-stage process consisting of drilling a pilot bore along a predetermined path. A radio transmitter located in the drill head relays pertinent telemetry to a remote radio receiver, which then translates the data to the operator giving him depth, alignment and inclination from which he determines what he needs to do with the subsequent rods that follow, in order to maintain the desired path. Then the predetermined product can be pulled back through the drilled space. When necessary, enlargement of the pilot bore cross-section is accomplished by reaming. This can be performed as a separate step or in conjunction with pulling in the product, depending on ground conditions, length of crossing and size hole required.
