That slurry coming out is the rock we’re reaming through 👊 As the reamer cuts and enlarges the hole, drilling fluid mixes with the rock cuttings and carries them out of the bore. Bentonite and the right additives help keep those cuttings suspended rather than settling and building up underground. It’s a crucial part of cleaning the hole and making room to pull the pipe through. #directionaldrilling #construction #hdddrilling #pipeline #excavator

The team completing a horizontal directional drilling job at an aged care facility, installing a private communications line through a heap of existing underground services. With interference from the surrounding environment adding to the challenge, utility locating and bore planning were crucial before the first rod went in. Careful planning, controlled drilling and a team that knows their job! Onto the next 👊 #directionaldrilling #construction #hdddrilling #pipeline #excavator

How do you install a pipe under a busy road, railway or creek? You drill beneath it. 👇 Horizontal directional drilling allows us to install water, gas, electrical and communications services without digging a trench along the entire route. By steering underground along a planned bore path, we can work beneath existing infrastructure and sensitive areas while keeping surface disruption to a minimum. Want to see how it works?
