Horizontal Directional Drilling
We have all the right tools for the job.
Our commitment to training and safety results in cost-effective installations. Miller Pipeline invests millions of dollars in our large fleet of drilling equipment, but our most valuable asset is our people. Through extensive training and in-depth course work, our employees achieve an impressive skill set and knowledge of safety procedures. Our company policy of locating all existing utility crossings and parallel utilities before drilling begins is just one more example of how safety is our number one priority.
Horizontal directional drilling technology pays off in many ways.
• Delivers maximum efficiency and reduces restoration costs • More cost-effective and efficient than auger boring • Eliminates traffic disruption • More efficient than traditional trench digging • Suitable for a variety of soil conditions and jobs • Results in a cleaner, more environment-friendly job site
HDD is one way we minimize community and environmental impact. Miller Pipeline embraces the responsibility to protect environmental quality for our business partners and the communities we serve. When horizontal directional drilling is determined to be an appropriate technology for the job at hand, customers and affected landowners can be assured of minimal disruption to both property and surroundings. And as is true with all work we perform, job sites are returned to preconstruction condition or better. Beyond visible impact, our aggressive fleet maintenance and replacement schedules reduce pollution and emissions.
