Permitting and HDD Drilling

Permitting and HDD Drilling

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD drilling) requires careful permitting and expert supervision. As a permit issuer or supervisor, you must be able to assess whether a drilling operation is prepared and executed in a technically sound and environmentally conscious manner. But what exactly should you look out for if you do not have a technical background yourself? During this course, you will gain insight into the technical aspects of HDD drilling and the key points of attention for permitting and supervision. You will learn what to look out for during the preparation and execution of a drilling operation, enabling you to carry out your work with greater knowledge and confidence.
