FAQ: HZ DTH Drilling Rig

Horizontal DTH casing drilling is required when ground conditions prevent conventional trenchless methods from advancing. This includes hard or boulderous soils where casing driving or augering cannot penetrate, as well as drilling into solid or fractured rock formations.

Horizontal DTH drilled casings are typically used for the installation of:

  • Sewage pipes
  • Water pipes
  • Drainage systems
  • Underground cables

These applications require controlled installation through hard ground or rock where surface disruption must be minimized.
