Horizontal directional drilling, trenchless technology,
otherwise known as HDD, affords Suffolk Water Connections the ability to
navigate a drill rod underground for extended distances at one time without
disruption the property. The diameter of the utility line may range from
as small as one inch and larger. Drilling is assisted with a supply of
water based and environmentally safe drilling fluid. This technology of
horizontal directional drilling enables SWC to track and steer the drill
head with the utmost precision around and under water, wet lands, existing
utilities, roadways, parking areas, landscaping, retaining walls, steep
embankments, and other obstacles that may be located below or above ground.
The result of horizontal directional drilling is a greater degree of precision
in placing the underground utilities without impacting the environment
and the surrounding area. Alternate methods for underground utility installations
include boring by air missile or the traditional
method of open dig trenching. |
