APPLICATIONS

Horizontal Directional Drilling with Ductile Iron Pipe: Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is one of the fastest growing trenchless construction methods in use today. It can be used to install new pipelines or replace existing ones. Successful HDD installations have established restrained flexible joint Ductile Iron pipe as a viable, and probably superior in many instances, trenchless pipe option.
