Special applications of the Horizontal Directional Drilling
Technical applications in the environmental sector may be based on the HDD-Method. DrillTec adapted horizontal directional drilling to the special needs of environmental technology. One special use is the blind bore hole.

Blind horizontal filter wells have only an entry point. When the drilling reaches the determined point and the final diameter is reamed, a washover pipe is installed. The pipe is pushed into the well and anchored at the end of the drilling in the ground. Then the washover pipe can be removed, so tensile stress on the well material is reduced to a minimum.
