• HDD won’t cause traffic disruptions.
• HDD drills under lakes, rivers, structures, roads and other impediments.
• HDD can bore below the freeze line in winter months, so the job starts earlier and finishes sooner.
• HDD is environmentally friendly with no disruption to naturally occurring vegetation, etc.
• Pipes can be installed either straight or curved to steer clear of obstacles.
• HDD is suitable for a variety of soil conditions and jobs including road, landscape and river crossings.
