End-to-End HDD Delivery

Why HDD?

Install Underground Infrastructure Without Opening the Entire Route

Horizontal Directional Drilling creates a guided underground bore between small entry and exit areas, making it a practical alternative where conventional trenching would interrupt roads, properties, waterways or active infrastructure.

No full-route trenching

Only launch and receiving areas are excavated.

Minimal traffic disruption

Roads and access routes remain largely operational.

Faster installation

Efficient crossings with less surface work and reinstatement.

Reduced reinstatement costs

Less damage to paving, landscaping and existing assets.

Safer around existing services

Survey, detection and controlled bore tracking reduce risk.

Ideal for complex crossings

Suitable beneath roads, railways, rivers and built-up areas.

Cleaner environmental footprint

Reduced excavation, spoil handling and surface disturbance.

How HDD Works

A Controlled Four-Step Installation Process

Every crossing is surveyed, designed and tracked to maintain alignment, manage ground conditions and protect existing services.

01

Site Survey & Utility Detection

Confirm route, ground conditions, existing services and safe bore alignment before mobilisation.

02

Pilot Bore Drilling

A steerable pilot bore is drilled along the designed path while depth and direction are continuously tracked.

03

Reaming the Bore Path

The pilot bore is enlarged in controlled stages to the diameter required for the product pipe or duct.

04

Pipe / Duct Pullback

The prepared pipe or duct is connected through a swivel and pulled safely into the completed bore.
