Ductile Iron Pipe HDD

Ductile iron pipe installation by horizontal directional drilling
Ductile iron pipe HDD — a Heartland speciality

Heartland Pipelines was one of the first UK contractors to install ductile iron pipe by horizontal directional drilling – specialist trenchless DI pipeline installation.

Heartland Pipelines was one of the first companies in the UK to successfully install a ductile iron (DI) pipeline using horizontal directional drilling – a demanding technique that showcases our ability to handle complex, innovative projects.

Why ductile iron by HDD?

  • Combines the strength and longevity of DI pipe with trenchless installation
  • Ideal for high-pressure water mains and demanding applications
  • Minimises surface disruption on critical installations

Our experience with DI HDD means we can advise on feasibility, design and installation for projects where standard PE solutions are not suitable.
