Benefits of Directional Drilling
Traditional excavation methods can be costly, time-consuming, and highly disruptive. Directional drilling eliminates the need for trenching, making it the most efficient way to install underground utilities.
Key benefits of our directional drilling include:
- No need to cut roads or shut down traffic
- Works in areas where digging isn’t possible
- Saves time and money
- No need for costly restoration after the project
- Minimizes environmental impact
- Less mess and disruption
- Can reach longer distances and varying depths
How Accurate Is Horizontal Directional Drilling?
Thanks to the advanced technology used in the process, horizontal directional drilling is incredibly precise. Our equipment is capable of achieving an accuracy of 0.01° in pitch and 0.04° in azimuth, which means it can make extremely small adjustments to stay on the intended path.
This level of accuracy ensures that the drilling follows the exact route planned, even in challenging underground conditions. For customers, this precision translates to reliable installations with minimal risk of errors or unexpected issues, making it a dependable choice for complex projects.
