Drilling technology

Horizontal directional drilling

(HDD, Horizontal Directional Drilling)

With HDD drilling, you install pipelines, lines or cables beneath roads, rivers and railway lines - without any excavation, using only isolated entry and exit pits. The process uses steerable drill heads, locating systems and drilling fluid to bore precisely defined routes safely underground.

 

The drilling often takes place in environmentally sensitive areas, where the focus lies on processes that are as gentle as possible. This includes considering the choice of the lubricants used.

The requirements differ - in closed hydraulic systems, the lubricant only escapes in the event of a failure, whereas lubricating the drill rods, for example, is a total-loss lubrication process, in which the lubricant remains in the environment.

 

That makes it all the more important to choose lubricants deliberately that combine top performance with biodegradability. With its ClearGreen product line, esgemo offers matched solutions for drilling technology, in the form of biodegradable special lubricants.

Advantages at a glance

THE HDD DRILLING PROCESS

Minimally invasive: no interruption of road traffic, barely any surface damage.
Environmentally friendly: no large-scale earthworks - ideal in ecologically sensitive areas.
Versatile: suitable for city centres, industrial sites, crossings with rails, utility lines or watercourses.
Efficient:project routes several hundred metres long can often be created in a short time.
