THE PROCESS

Step 1

Pilot Shot

Starting at the entry point, a drill head suitable for the ground conditions, is drilled along a predetermined route with depth and alighnment monitored continously.

Step 2

REAMING PROCESS

The pilot shot is enlarged in suitable steps, by back-reaming the hole with reamers designed for the ground conditions, to a size that accommodates the pipe to be installed.

Step 3

PIPE INSTALLATION

Once the drill rod string is connected to the pipe via a swivel, pull back commences. In some instances the pipe can be pushed into place.
