Horizontal Directional Drilling or HDD involves installation of underground pipelines in a shallow arc, along a pre-determined bore path. The process, enabled through the use of a surface-launched drilling rig minimizes the impact of drilling on the surrounding area. Significance of this method remains high during installation of pipelines under physical obstructions such as rivers and shorelines.

Given an increase in public and government scrutiny on the environmental impact of boring and drilling techniques, HDD presents a unique opportunity in areas with a high level of urbanization so as to reduce the impact and inconvenience caused to public. A steady investment from Government of India and State governments on underground installations of telecommunication and utility sectors has presented AG Energy with a promising opportunity to expand HDD pipeline services across India.

At AG Energy, we are well equipped with in house HDD rigs of 40t (tons) capacity to execute horizontal directional drilling at any type of complicated length. Our experienced and skilled engineers and operators are capable of providing HDD services for major river crossings, highway & canal crossings.
