What is trenchless drilling?
Trenchless drilling is the process of placing pipes and cables under obstacles without digging the surrounding ground.
Should I use horizontal directional drilling or environmental air drilling?
Conventional HDD is well-suited for pipeline, road, and marsh crossings. In areas involving watershed, rivers, and other aquatic bodies monitored by DFO, it would be advisable to use air drilling.
How far can you air drill?
We have completed bores up to 650m in length without any problems. CCD believes the technology will drill much further.
Do you need a conductor barrel?
No, unless extreme gravel conditions encountered.
How much space is required?
The equipment can easily set up on a 15m right of way.
How much time does the entire operation take?
On average, 30% less time than a conventional rock drilling.
