It is estimated that there’s currently about 2.5 million miles of pipelines to transport fuel products from source to market in the United States. Before that fuel is transported, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and precision directional boring is used to extract it from the ground and helps produce twice the amount of gas being extracted when compared to traditional methods.
Despite the move toward greener sources of fuel, the global horizontal directional drilling market is expected to reach nearly $15 billion by 2022.
When it comes to locating utilities, directional boring is an alternative to trenching for laying utilities and conduits. Digging trenches to lay any sort of pipe for utilities can often be a messy job. Precision directional boring uses HDD and a predetermined route in which the utilities are placed. Rather than having to dig a long, gaping trench, directional boring and drilling leaves much cleaner entry and exit points, much the way surgeries have bec
