Directional Drilling Wire

Horizontal Directional Drilling is a way to install underground pipes, conduits and cables in an arc along a specific path by using a steerable drilling rig. It's used when trenching or excavating isn't practical and when a low level of impact on the surrounding area is necessary.

We've developed special cables with high breaking strengths to withstand the critical "pull-back" of pipe after all the drill work is done.


We offer the following products for the Horizontal Directional Drilling industry:

• Horizontal Directional Drilling Wire (HDD): Often called the wireline, HDD is used in directional drilling when a 'wireline' monitoring system is needed, rather than an above-ground, or 'walk-over' monitoring system. The wire runs inside the drill string and transmits information on the angle, rotation, direction and temperature of the drilling head while it's working underground, out of sight.
• Directional Drilling Tracer Wire: This wire works the same way that traditional tracer wire works, but is made of a more durable insulation able to withstand the harsher environments associated with the drilling process.
