The main purpose of this handbook is twofold and directed toward two distinct groups - environmental engineers and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) contractors. First, it is hoped that the environmental engineers who read this handbook will have a better understanding of what HDD is and how it works. HDD is a proven technology that offers many advantages over other methods of remediation. For HDD contractors, this handbook is intended to make you aware of another potential market for your services. Although it is not an in-depth study of environmental remediation, this handbook provides basic information to get you started in this exciting new field. Whether you're a driller or an engineer, hopefully the information offered here will help further your understanding of horizontal directional drilling and environmental remediation.
