FAQs
How does horizontal boring minimise environmental impact?
HDD minimises disruption by avoiding open trench excavation. It preserves the landscape, reduces the risk of damage to existing infrastructure, and prevents soil erosion, making it ideal for sensitive or environmentally protected areas.
What is horizontal directional drilling (HDD)?
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method used to install underground utilities, such as pipes and cables, with minimal surface disruption. It involves drilling a pilot hole along a predetermined path and then expanding it to accommodate the required installation.
What equipment do you use for boring and drilling?
Our fleet includes the Vermeer 20x22 Series 2 for smaller jobs, the Vermeer 36x50 Series 2 for mid-large scale projects, the Vermeer 40x55DR Series 3 for rock drilling, and the Goodeng GD600 for large tasks. We also use supporting equipment like vacuum units, trucks, and excavators.
How long does a typical project take?
The duration of a project depends on its size, complexity, and the terrain. Smaller jobs can be completed in a few days, while larger projects may take several weeks. We provide realistic timelines before starting any work.
What types of materials can you drill through?
We can drill through various materials, including soil, rock, and clay. Our equipment is designed to tackle a range of terrains, ensuring precision and minimal disturbance to the environment.
What size pipes can you install?
We can install pipes ranging in size from 25 mm to 1.45 m in diameter, depending on the requirements of the project. Our equipment is versatile and can accommodate both small and large pipe installations.
What types of projects does Wangaratta Horizontal Boring handle?
We handle a wide range of projects, including water mains, gas lines, stormwater systems, sewerage lines, power lines, and telecommunications infrastructure. We also drill under roads, highways, railways, rivers, and environmentally protected areas.
Can you work in difficult or confined spaces?
Yes, our horizontal boring technology is ideal for working in confined spaces or areas where traditional excavation methods are not feasible. This includes working under roads, buildings, and other obstacles.
