MINI- MIZING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON THE SURROUNDING AREA, HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING IS BEST SUITED FOR APPLICATIONS WHERE TRADITIONAL TRENCHING OR EXCAVATING IS EITHER NOT PRACTICAL OR OTHERWISE IMPOSSIBLE. THE BENEFITS OF HORIZONTAL DIREC- TIONAL DRILLING ARE EXTENSIVE ECO- LOGICAL DISTURBANCE AND CONTAMINA- TION IS VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE JOB SITE IN COMPARISON TO TRADITIONAL OPEN CUT INSTALLATION METHODS. ADDI- TIONALLY, NOISE POLLUTION IS ISOLATED TO THE LOCATION OF THE DRILL ITSELF, WHICH IN MANY CASES IS SEVERAL HUN- DRED (OR THOUSANDS) OF FEET FROM THE PLANNED EXIT POINT OF THE DRILL HEAD. ADDITIONALLY, THE EXPENSE ALONG WITH OTHER FACETS OF SURFACE RESTORATION IS MINIMIZED TO A MERE FRACTION OF THOSE ASSOCIATED TO INSTALLATIONS VIA OPEN CUTTING AS ONLY TWO EXCAVA- TIONS ARE REQUIRED AT THE ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS OF THE DRILL STEM.

10 NEW TECHNOLOGY SAME EXPERTISE HYDRO-EXCAVATION IS A SAFE, NON-DESTRUCTIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE PROCESS THAT UTILIZES PRESSURIZED WATER TO BREAK UP SOIL. THE SOIL IS THEN REMOVED THROUGH AN INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH VACUUM INTO A DEBRIS TANK. THIS PROCESS ALLOWS FOR SAFE AND PRECISE EXCAVATION, WHICH REQUIRES LESS BACKFILL AND RESTO- RATION, LESS LABOR AND LESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT THAN TRADITIONAL DIGGING METHODS. MOST IMPORTANT- LY, HYDRO-EXCAVATION VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES THE RISK OF DAMAGING UNDERGROUND PIPELINES OR UTILITIES. HYDRO-EXCAVATION IS ALSO COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS HYDRO-VAC EXCAVATION, VACUUM EXCAVATION, DAYLIGHTING, WATER EXCAVATION, SLOT-TRENCHING AND POTHOLING.
