Horizontal directional drilling or horizontal drilling is also called Trenchless drilling. This drilling is basically used in a number of purposes, but most frequently and generally it is seen in cable hauling related projects.
The good thing about horizontal drilling is that you can finish the things without destructing the project site drastically. Because of this and several other qualities, this technology is used in a number of processes like setting up electric cables, optical fiber cables for data transfer and also for accessing a reservoir. This drilling plays a very major role in the overall civil engineering.
Talking more precisely, it is most useful in tasks like developing infrastructure, town planning, industrial infrastructure and many others. The process is quite simple as for cable hauling and substation installations, the first thing needed is creating an entrance pit. The horizontal drilling machine sends a pipe from this pit to the other end. Apart from civil engineering, oil industry is the biggest user of the horizontal drilling process. This is because; this industry has realized that with this technology, the oil can be fetched out from the reservoir without disturbing the existing landscape. To make this happen, a conduit is sent to the oil reservoir and the liquid is drained out of the crust without interfering anything existing over the earth.
The process of cable hauling, laying utility cables like electric cables, Internet cables is also very similar. According to experts, this is one of the most advanced processes that are helping different industries in doing different tasks. But, there are few more things to take care of out of which precision is the foremost. Any blemish or deviation in the path could result in failure of the entire process.
