Mytan Contracting is extremely excited to now offer Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) services in the
East Kootenays. HDD offers solutions for the growing need for infrastructure development and utility
installations and is well suited for fibre, electrical, gas and water installations, even in tight spaces.
Directional drilling minimizes surface disturbance and environmental impact by boring underground and
creating tunnels for these utility installations and also repairs.
HDD is a machine specifically designed for horizontal drilling instead of drilling straight down, like
traditional drills or excavating long, deep trenches. It is capable of boring horizontally and at various
angles, allowing for the installation and repairs of underground utilities in a more precise and controlled
manner, even in tight spaces!
The key difference between HDD and traditional drilling and excavating methods is the ability to
eliminate the need for open trenches. This method also eliminates extensive digging, resulting in
disruption to the surrounding area, increased labour costs and longer project times. The HDD process is
much less invasive, therefore saving costs for both contractors and clients.
