What is Horizontal Directional Drilling?
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a precise drilling technique that takes careful planning, proper setup, navigators with extensive training, and advanced tools to guide and steer the drill. Horizontal directional drills use bent (articulated) arms to control the geometry of each cut. To clear its path, the drill bit may be fitted with a high-pressure hydraulic nozzle to clear away bits of debris.
We use these techniques to insert water intakes into sewers, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. Our team serves the needs of municipalities, ministries, engineering firms, subdivisions, contractors, homeowners, and anyone needing directional drilling in Penticton, British Columbia, and many parts of Saskatchewan.
Our experienced crew has done a lot of water intake installation for business owners, ministries, etc. If you need HDD services or water intake installations in BC, depend on Ironman Directional Drilling. Call us to discuss your next project.

How Can Horizontal Directional Drilling Help You?
Horizontal directional drilling will help:
Protect the environment: Unlike trenching, excavating, and other drilling techniques, directional drilling is often the most viable and least destructive option when protecting wetlands, lakes, and rivers. It has been shown to cause little to or no disturbance to the areas where a water intake is being installed.
Quick installation: Choosing this method avoids the requirement for trenching. In other words, it means less soil to be dug up and disposed of. This ensures the project is completed much faster.
Comes with a low installation cost: As this is a trenchless method, a small crew can complete a project. Less manpower will lower the total cost of the overall project.
Flexibility: The horizontal directional drilling method displaces less soil and doesn’t require the land to be dug down. This means the landscape will be preserved, and you can return to your business as usual.
The employees of Ironman Directional Drilling work alongside biologists and environmentalists. Whether completing a project in a lake or river on Vancouver Island, Okanagan Valley, or Shuswap, we always put the environment first.
