What Is Directional Drilling?

Directional Drilling, also referred to as directional boring, horizontal boring, and HDD is a steerable, trenchless method of installing underground conduit, pipes, cables, or just about any type of underground utility installation that used to only be achieved by digging a trench. This method allows installing any of these type of lines underneath any obstructions without disturbing them including buildings, roads, railways, streets, highways, lakes, ponds, and rivers.
