Trenchless road and carriageway crossings using horizontal directional drilling – install services beneath busy highways with no road closure across the Midlands and UK.
Heartland Pipelines installs utilities beneath roads and carriageways using horizontal directional drilling (HDD), avoiding the cost, disruption and road closures of open-cut excavation. Our steered drilling places water, gas, electric ducting and communications services accurately under live highways.
Why use HDD for road crossings?
- No road closure or lengthy traffic management in most cases
- No Section 58 trench restrictions or carriageway reinstatement
- Faster installation and lower whole-life cost
- Minimal disruption to road users and businesses
How we deliver road crossings
We survey the route, design a bore path clear of existing utilities, drill a tracked pilot bore beneath the carriageway, then ream and pull back the product pipe in a single operation. Where required we coordinate traffic management through our sister company NTR Plant Services.
