Directional Drilling Cambridge

Who is Anta Directional Drilling?

A leader in Cambridge directional drilling, Anta uses a fast and effective process to install one or more pipes or ducts simultaneously. The horizontal drilling method maintains the integrity of environmentally sensitive landscapes, contrary to conventional plumbing, which requires time-consuming and environmentally damaging excavation.

Directional drilling equipment include steerable rigs that provide precise bores, ideal for the insertion of pipes on completion.

Benefits of Cambridge Directional Drilling

Anta Directional Drilling uses specialized equipment to enable engineers to install pipes for a variety of applications beneath roads, waterways, railways, runways or taxiways, coastal sea defences, landscapes, hardscapes and much more.

Due to the quick and efficient method employed, horizontal / directional drilling is an economic method for installing pipes or conduits under a variety of surface obstacles. Considering the costs and time involved in open cut methods, direct drilling delivers the ideal alternative, even on relatively small work sites.

The flexibility of being able to install cables and pipework in straight or curved alignments provide peace of mind in terms of avoiding any other underground services or complications. As part of the planning process, engineers will determine the location of existing underground pipes and conduits and work around that.

Directional drilling eliminates the need for road closures, and reduces disruption to surface level activities. As such, working hours are not restricted, and premium rate working hours are reduced.

Cambridge Directional Drilling - The Process

Anta Directional drilling will use navigation equipment to locate underground utilities, obstacles and pipework, and use the information to identify a path for your requirements. The drill head contains a transmitter which provides information regarding pitch, position and depth to the surface level locator. The operator can use the information to make required changes.

An angled drill bit equipped with a flexible rod is steered into the pilot hole, and can move around obstacles. Another rod is attached to form a drill string, which bends on the command of the navigator or operator.

Once the pilot bore is completed, the drill head is removed and a back reamer is inserted to enlarge the diameter of the drill path. A piping product is attached to the back reamer and pulled into place.
