Horizontal directional drill (HDD) is a technological innovation that enables construction and mining enterprises to reach new depths of the earth's surface. It makes it possible for engineers to direct their drilling equipment horizontally in order to create pathways through extremely difficult terrain or locate deposits that lie beneath the earth's surface. This technology has [...]
In the last few years, horizontal directional drilling has become the standard when it comes to conduit installation and below-ground pipe.
