  3. Introduction ●This type of drilling is done by the drilling rigs. ●It is time saving and doesn’t disturb the land. ●It is used in many projects of pipe fixing, such as the electric, water, gas pipes, telecommunication pipes, sewer pipes and many more. ●It is environment friendly and doesn’t cause any damage or destruction to the landscape. ●The work is completed by using different equipments and workers without jamming the traffic or crowding the place.

  5. Method of Horizontal Directional Drilling ●In this method the group of workers is very small. ●The working equipment includes only a drilling machine and the tracking operator. These are connected to each other electrically. ●The drill fluid helps in starting the drilling of the hole in the ground. ●The drill fluid keeps checking the ground for the type of the land and the stability of the hole.

  6. ●The drill always moves in the arc shapes and exits at the end of the arc from the ground area. ●Then the reamer is entered which is according to the size of the pipes and makes a clear path for the pipes. ●The pipes are entered and fixed and they are heated to connect to each other.

  7. Tools & Equipments Used in HDD ● MWD (Measuring while drilling) sensors ● Mud Motors ● BHA configuration ● Drill bits ● Whip stocks

  8. Pros of HDD ●Doesn’t disturb the area around the project ●Saves money and cost of excavation ●Very safe technique ●Work is not delayed due to improper weather conditions ●Doesn't disrupt traffic ●The work done is neat and faster ●Saves a lot of time ●Flexible method and can be installed in any area

  9. Cons of HDD ●HDD technique has high rate of collapsing ●It can be costly for certain projects ●Work limitation issues due to cobbles and stones scattered on the ground
