Trenchless river and canal crossings using directional drilling – install pipelines deep beneath watercourses while protecting banks, habitats and flow.
Heartland Pipelines crosses rivers, canals and watercourses using horizontal directional drilling, installing pipelines deep beneath the bed without disturbing banks, water flow or aquatic habitats. River crossings have been a Heartland specialism since 2011.
Protecting watercourses and habitats
- No in-channel works or temporary damming in most cases
- Deep, accurate bores that protect banks and bed
- Ideal for environmentally sensitive and protected watercourses
- Reduced environmental impact versus open-cut
Engineered for difficult ground
Our rock drilling capability and experienced teams allow us to complete crossings in challenging ground where other methods struggle.
