FAQs

Common Questions

Straightforward answers on drilling, excavation and underground infrastructure works. If your question isn't here, get in touch.

  • Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method of installing conduit, duct or pipe underground. A steerable pilot bore is drilled along a designed path, enlarged if required, and the product is then pulled back through the bore — all without opening a continuous trench along the route.
