India has completed its longest Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) bore to date. This feat was accomplished as part of the Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited’s (IGGL) North East Gas Grid Pipeline Project. The North East Gas Grid Pipeline Project is designed to meet the gas needs of the North Eastern states.

The project involved crossing the mighty Brahmaputra river and installing a pipeline spanning 4,102 meters using advanced HDD technology.

It wasn’t until the 1960s that trenchless technology, particularly horizontal directional drilling was introduced. Unlike traditional trenching, which requires open trenches, HDD offers an effective alternative to installing pipelines, cables, and other utilities.

This article explains everything you need to know about horizontal directional drilling, its applications, and its advantages.

In the world of underground construction and utility installation, the evolution of trenchless technology has been a game-changer. No more big digs and massive trenches; instead, we’ve got efficient, less disruptive methods. Let’s take a trip through the history of trenchless tech, checking out its awesome advancements and seeing how it’s shaping things today.
