Directional drilling is a safe and innovative method of installing pipes, ducts and cables underground without disturbing the surface of the earth. Thanks to this technology, extreme long distances have been successfully drilled even under extreme areas like water bodies, railways, airports and even Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
Also known as Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), this technique is very effective as work area is confined to only entry and exit of the bore. Equipment is installed on the surface of the earth with no requirement of contamination of soil in the form of deep excavation. The whole process surprisingly takes less time and also has lower cost of operation. Also it can work around or under any obstacle which comes in between.
Directional drilling is now extensively used in various fields like water pipe line, oil and gas sourcing and sewerage and chemical ducts.
The innovative technique of horizontal directional drilling has given immense boost to transmission of high voltage power lines across long distances. It is a trenchless technology which has made crossing long distances very convenient. Underground transmission of high voltage lines rules out all the side effects on human body when it comes within its radius. Also they tend to last more than aerial lines as due to no effect of extreme weather conditions. HDD contractors and electrical engineers work closely and give special consideration to spacing between parallel lines to reduce chances of overheating.
Directional drilling has proven its versatility with various kinds of soil conditions ranging from compact alluvial to sandstone and granite rocks. All this happened with only minimal environmental impact and zero surficial disturbances.
