Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is an environmentally friendly method for installation of underground utilities and infrastructure installation. It is safer and less disruptive than traditional excavation options.
HDD is used for many projects, such as:
· Fiber conduit installation
· Sewer line installation and extension
· Fibre optic installation
· Water intake
· Duct installation
· Underground pipe installation
If you’re overseeing the logistics, how do you choose the best HDD company for your project needs? Our blog explores a few factors for you to consider.

Experience
Experience is a valuable asset in any project. Having a team in place with years of successful project completion, scope, and of varying complexities will ensure your project gets done on time, and on budget. In the hands of an experienced operator, HDD is a highly accurate process that is more efficient than alternatives. Equipment and Technology Having the right equipment and technology is key to any successful project. The ability to access a collection of highly specialized and well-maintained machinery is an important component of great project management and is something to look for in a Horizontal Directional Drilling company.
