Specialist Directional Drilling Services in Kununurra

JSM Civil is a leading provider of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) services in Kununurra and across the Northern Territory. As specialists in trenchless technology, we utilise HDD to install underground utilities with minimal ground disturbance, making it the preferred excavation method for complex and sensitive environments.

Our expertise extends to utility installations under roads, highways, aviation runways, car parks, creeks, and landscaped areas, ensuring critical infrastructure is installed safely and efficiently. We have the capability to execute precision drill shots of up to 300 metres with bore diameters of up to 1,200mm, delivering high-quality results on projects of varying scale and complexity.

Horizontal Directional Drilling is a trenchless excavation technique used to install underground pipelines, conduits, and cables without the need for open trenching. This method involves three main stages:

Pilot Bore – A small-diameter pilot hole is drilled along a predetermined path using advanced guidance systems.
Reaming – The hole is progressively enlarged to accommodate the required conduit or pipeline.
Pullback – The pipe or conduit is inserted and pulled through the enlarged borehole to complete the installation.

This method is particularly beneficial in urban areas and environmentally sensitive locations, as it reduces surface disruption, preserves existing infrastructure, and minimises environmental impact.

Minimal Surface Disruption

Unlike traditional trenching, HDD does not require extensive excavation, making it ideal for projects in congested or high-traffic areas. It ensures roadways, landscapes, and structures remain largely undisturbed during installation.

Cost-Effective

With reduced labour, equipment, and restoration costs, HDD offers a cost-effective solution for underground utility installations. It eliminates the need for large-scale excavation and backfilling, reducing overall project expenses.

Enhanced Environmental Protection

By avoiding open-cut trenching, HDD helps protect natural ecosystems, waterways, and vegetation. This method is particularly advantageous in areas where environmental conservation is a priority.

High Precision and Versatility

HDD technology enables precise drilling under obstacles such as roads, rivers, and buildings. It is suitable for installing various utilities, including water and sewer pipelines, telecommunications cables, gas lines, and electrical conduits.

Reduced Project Timelines

With faster installation times and less site preparation, HDD minimises downtime and disruptions, ensuring that projects are completed efficiently and on schedule.
