A Shade On The Horizonal Drilling

By Michelle Wilson


Deviated installations of pipes were invented in the 19th century, and it is a trenchless technique that was used to increase oil production in the oil fields. This technology was adapted used for utility conduit installations, and it is referred to as horizonal drilling, rotary or sideways drilling. Directional pipe installation is now very popular in the urban areas in installing pipes and cables.

Usually, the technicians place utility pipes beneath the surface where there are fewer obstacles hence protecting the pipes from damage. This, in turn, reduces the maintenance cost of the piping systems since there is minimal exposure to the surface. Three major industries have fully embraced this technique, and they include the oil, utility and environmental rehabilitation industries.

Usually, this technique is used to construct water lines, sewerage pipelines, electric cables, natural gas pipes and oil pipelines just to mention but a few. When the construction of these pipes is in progress, the traffic is rarely disrupted, and the businesses go on as usual. On top of that, this directional method of installation has a short, predictable schedule thus time is not wasted.

The environmental impact is also greatly reduced when this technology is used thus there is minimal site remediation. If the pipe installation needs to be done in an area that is highly sensitive, the horizontal drilling method is the most convenient to use as it will cause very minimal disturbance to the wetlands as well as wildlife. On the other hand, the traditional method can be very disruptive thus one is not advised to use it.

The rotary technique is also important as it much quicker and the overall costs are lower because the human resources needed is less. While digging the holes, the equipment can work from the surface thus there is no need to dig deep excavations. Also, no intermediate pits are needed because long, short or medium lengths of the pipes can be used without disrupting the surface.

Accessibility to initially inaccessible places is the biggest advantage if using this technique. Most places were not accessible using the traditional methods thus the directional methods have proved to be advantageous especially in the installation of water and electricity. This has lead to the availability of water in remote and interior places within a short period.

Before you hire a technician to construct the pipes for your company, it is essential to ensure that they are highly qualified. Check their certifications and licenses and if possible, research on the companies they have worked for in the past to get their reviews. This is important to avoid hiring technicians who claim to be qualified yet they cannot deliver as they have requested.

The directional piping technique is now widely used in the oil and water companies as it is very convenient to the environmentally sensitive places. Thus, one should make sure that he/she has widely on the advantages and disadvantages of the rotary method and the traditional method and decide on the best approach to use. Most people will naturally select the trenchless technique.
