Vacuum Excavation: A Key Component of Horizontal Directional Drilling Projects

摘要

With its ability to safely expose underground utilities and effectively remove environmentally sensitive materials, vacuum excavation is quickly becoming standard practice on horizontal directional drilling projects. The need to connect utilities and services across roadways, rivers and congested areas has sparked the rise of horizontal directional drilling (HDD), a trenchless technology that involves using a surface-launched drilling rig to drill a lateral borehole along a predetermined path.
