Horizontal Directional Drilling HDD
Report
Horizontal directional drilling, HDD, can be a useful and cost effective solution when utility placement is required in difficult locations. Open trench solutions have many limitations when terrain is difficult or infrastructure is in the way. Importantly, Horizontal Directional Drilling can go places open cut options cannot.
Percussion Moling
Report
Percussion moling is an alternative to open cut trenches where smaller diameter pipes are placed over shorter distances and avoids the need for HDD machines. With moling, a smaller pit than with HDD is usually dug either side of the area to the tunnelled, occasionally additional pits may be required but this would be discussed on the site visit.
Timber Heading
Report
In the most basic of terms, timber heading is a traditional horizontal technique whereby timber sets are used to support a tunnel construction. Usually hand dug, the method hasn't really changed in decades and is a skill unto itself. A timber heading would usually be used when open cut isn't an option and HDD or auger boring are not suitable.
