HDD wells are used where groundwater must be abstracted from beneath inaccessible areas or from areas where the disruption associated with surface drilling is undesirable.
Applications for HDD wells include:
- Installation of permanent dewatering systems beneath existing built up (urban) environments.
- Pumping for remediation of contaminated groundwater without the risks of cross-contamination associated with vertical drilling
- Dewatering for tunnel construction
- Recharge wells to re-inject water as part of artificial recharge schemes
