Frequently Asked Questions

This is a construction technique where we drill a designated area to install a pipe underground. This technique is most often used for water, sewer, fiber, and power lines.

HDD starts with the setup of the drill rig. The drill rig is placed on the ground over the specified location of the pilot hole. From there, a small hole (the pilot bore) is drilled from one point along the surface to another. This makes way for the installation of the pipe. The pilot bore is then enlarged to the diameter needed. This is called reaming. When the hole is big enough, the pipe can be installed.

Glory offers a wide variety of projects including the installation of gas and irrigation pipelines, drinking water lines, and sewer pressure lines. Other applications include fiber optic installations, electrical conduit installations, duct and culvert installations, traffic routing system installations, and water intakes.

HDD can be used for any drilling application, but it isn’t necessary for every drilling job. The applications where HDD is the best option, though, include areas with large waterways, roads, rail yards, vineyards, sidewalks, hillsides, and other sensitive areas. HDD is used when traditional trenching would be impractical or costly.

HDD barely impacts the surrounding environment, which is why it’s chosen for drilling in sensitive areas or areas where there’s high foot traffic or vehicle traffic.
