The journey of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) from the oil and gas sector to the construction industry has been quite remarkable. Initially adopted with great success, HDD has seen significant improvements due to advancements in walk-over locating technology and steering capabilities in various ground conditions.
In response to the growing challenges faced by horizontal directional drilling (HDD) contractors, Vermeer has introduced the R125 reclaimer, a compact mud recycling system designed to support utility-sized drills.
Injection grouting is often recognized as the "original" trenchless technology of our industry. The first mainline pipe joints were sealed in 1962 in Cottonwood Falls, KS, and we have never looked back!
The Waukesha, Wisconsin, pipeline project faced a significant challenge when an unlocated sewer forced the team to redesign the HDD path, leading to a novel approach using both HDPE and RJ-DIP pipe types in the installation. The collaboration between contractors and engineers resulted in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.
Waukesha, once famous for its spring water and hailed as a "cure-all," now turns to Lake Michigan for a sustainable water source. A new 36-mile pipeline project aims to supply 8 million gallons of water per day to 16 Wisconsin communities.
