When working on a drilling project, efficiency is often a major factor. You need reliable crews and equipment to make sure you’re making the best possible use of your time. Horizontal directional drilling is a dynamic and efficient way to overcome geographical challenges.
Reasons to choose horizontal directional drilling
Cost efficiency
Directional drilling can provide a greater output from just one hole when compared to excavation and digging for utilities. Additionally, horizontal drilling lessens the impact on social, economical and environment factors as it eliminates the need for moving drill rigs around a site.
Versatility
Whether you’re installing conduits, cables, or water lines through great distance, horizontal directional drilling will allow a faster and more cost effective project completion. It will also cause less disruption to surrounding traffic and the surrounding environment. Shortly after the completion of the project, you’ll be hard-pressed to notice that Trans Canada Trenchless was ever there.
Overcoming Environmental Challenges
If your proposed drilling path crosses through a waterway, a challenging geological feature, or other sensitive area, horizontal drilling can help to complete the job. Because the trenchless drilling technique does not require as many surface holes, you can safely and efficiently circumvent even the most challenging environmental features.

Benefits of Trenchless Construction and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD):
Compared to traditional installation methods, trenchless utility construction offers countless benefits:
- Complete large projects in a fraction of the time of a full excavation, thanks to a considerably smaller affected soil zone
- More economically viable even for homeowners and other small-scale projects
- Versatile applications; from home improvements to municipal water lines
- Achieve greater depth than traditional utility installation methods, eliminating issues such as scouring or freezing
- Protect pavement, roads, and driveways from damage – eliminating impact on vehicle or pedestrian traffic
- Prevent disruption to surrounding nature, such as rivers, creeks, and forest by drilling underneath, instead of through them
- Ability to ‘steer’ the pipeline to avoid underground obstacles, such as water reservoirs
- Experience faster permitting process
- Wide variety of available pipe materials, depending on the application and utility owner
