Horizontal Directional Drilling is used to lay pipelines underground, out of view, and out of danger. Sensitive landscapes and water bodies do not divert the efficient path of the pipeline. If a pipeline encounters an obstacle, it can be placed deeper in the ground. Horizontal Directional Drilling allows pipelines to flow 50’ below the bottom of the Missouri Riverbed.
