Exploring the future… today has enabled Canadian Horizontal Drilling Inc. (CHD) to become the leader in the application of Horizontal
Directional Drilling (HDD) technology to environmental sensitive areas
such as waterways’, mountains, roads and Municipal infrastructure where
- open cutting is just not permitted in today’s "Green Building
Projects" requirement. As horizontal drilling is the "
Invisible
Footprint" it is an increasing preferred technique for energy or
municipal pipe liners to minimize the impact of construction on
surrounding areas through no open cutting. The specifics of a drill
depend on pipe size and soil conditions, however CHD has the equipment
and experience to be able to complete bores well over 1000 meters of
42-inch pipe. In some special instances two rigs can be used on either
side of the crossing to reach a length of 2400 meters on what we call
an "Intersect" in the HDD industry. Our crossing pipe range would vary
from 8 inch to 42 inch.
To date Canadian Horizontal Drilling has completed 6000 successful Crossings - many of which were
Milestone Projects.
Everything a client needs to undertake a successful Crossing from the
grass roots issues to the more complex matters is provided by Canadian
Horizontal Drilling’s experienced and reliable resources. Our equipment
is always in a high technology state of readiness, kept ready and
reliable through our Maintenance Integrity Service Program. All CHD
