HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING

HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING

HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is widely used for below-ground pipeline and utility installations that require a trenchless solution. It is a low disturbance approach for accurately and efficiently crossing roads, railways, rivers, bays and a variety of other obstacles with minimal environmental impact. HDD is used in situations that allow for an angled installation, and requires adequate space to set up a drill pad at the rig site.

FEATURED SOLUTIONS

The HDD Company is changing the way we install subsea intakes for feed water desalination projects using low-impact horizontal directional drilling techniques.

HEAVY AND LIGHT RIG SERVICES

The Crossing Group’s HDD fleet of rigs fall into two categories: Heavy Rigs (over 82 tons) and Light Rigs (under 82 tons). Heavy rigs are robust and designed for longer crossings and larger diameter holes. Light rigs are nimble, and designed for shorter crossings in areas with confined access. We will recommend the rig best suited to your project.

HEAVY RIGS (82+ TONS)

3,000 m (9,843 ft)

Max. Drilling Length

1.5 m (60 in)

Max. Hole Diameter

Heavy HDD Rigs | Heavy HDD Rigs can install product lines spanning distances up to 3 km (1.86 miles). Need to safely cross a highway and a water body in one shot? We can do that.

LIGHT RIGS (< 82 TONS)

50 m – 1,000 m (164 ft – 3,281 ft)

Drilling Length

914 mm (36 in)

Max. Hole Diameter

Light HDD Rigs | Light HDD rigs provide an economical trenchless solution over shorter distances. They require a smaller drill pad, so you can set up in confined spaces.

EQUIPMENT INVENTORY

The Crossing Group’s modern fleet of horizontal directional drilling rigs and tunneling and augering units allow us to serve clients throughout western and northern Canada, as well as California and the northern USA. We ensure are equipment is regularly inspected and maintained to the highest operational and safety standards.

Whatever your challenge, let us recommend the trenchless solution that best meets your needs, budget and project parameters.
