Using HDD Drilling to Install Your Sewer Pipe

Construction companies use horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to install underground pipes, cables, and sewer lines without digging trenches. Here's a video showing how to use hdd drilling to install a sewer pipe. While the open-cut approach has been the standard for decades, new trenchless pipe drilling technologies have emerged.

Pipe bursting, HDD, and slip lining are examples of such techniques. For fixing, maintaining, or installing sewer pipes, HDD is your best bet. This method is highly flexible and accurate in installing, maintaining, and repairing pipes. Besides removing road closures, HDD is less costly than trench-based systems. Many trenchless pipes are made from different materials, including HDPE, PE, and MPP. These pipes are tailored to meet specific needs and preferences. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes are commonly used in municipal and industrial applications. They come in various lengths and have a selection of pressure requirements. Pipes made of HDPE are long-lasting, have high tensile strength, are lightweight, flexible, and durable. In addition, HDPE pipes have zero percent chance of leaking when fused because of their seamless nature. They are also environmentally safe, resistant to corrosion, and non-toxic. Since polyethylene has reduced turbulence and drag at high flow, it offers superior flow characteristics.
