Permitting and HDD Drilling

Permitting and HDD Drilling

Rijkswaterstaat and the water boards are responsible for supervising horizontal drilling. Horizontal drilling carries significant environmental risks. Permitting and regulatory bodies in the Netherlands have expressed a need for a short, intensive course. This customized program is designed for these officers and regulators, whose responsibilities include verifying that drilling is conducted in an environmentally responsible manner.

After completing this course, they will be able to confidently supervise horizontal drilling.
