directional drilling
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), commonly called directional drilling, is also referred to as horizontal drilling, rotary drilling and sideways drilling. It is a trenchless technology that was originally invented in the 1920's to increase oil field production and, later in the century, was adapted for utility conduit installations and environmental remediation. Now, directional drilling and trenchless technology is a thriving and ever-evolving field with recent advances that present new opportunities for projects that were once impossible.
