 | Some of the
possible applications of horizontal directional drilling are Soil Vapor
Extraction, Air Sparging, Groundwater Extraction and Infiltration wells.
Directional drilling can also be used for Bioremediation, Leachate monitoring
and Sampling, and Cathodic Corrosion Prevention and Detection and soil sampling.
| |
 | The drilling
method used by Directional Technologies, Inc. requires a small entrance pit,
which can be placed in a discreet spot to ensure the continuation of a business
or to substantially reduce restoration costs. | |
 | Directional
Technologies, Inc. has key personnel with experience in the oil, the utility,
and the environmental industries. This experience in the many uses of
directional drilling gives us the knowledge to solve many problems that may seem
insurmountable to the inexperienced.
| |
 | A Horizontal well has more exposure to the plume (contaminant), therefore recovery rates are enhanced and clean up time is reduced.
| |
 | The most common misconception of horizontal well installation is the perceived cost. The increase in the use of horizontal drilling has allowed the costs of the equipment and trained labor to be spread over many projects, thereby making individual projects affordable.
| |
 | Directional drilling can now obtain undisturbed soil samples. This enabling the collection of samples in formerly inaccessible places because of surface structures. Directional Technologies, Inc. is experienced in the collection of undisturbed soil samples.

 | The Port Authority of NY & NJ required a remediation system that could be installed and operated without disruption to airport activities. Directional Technologies, Inc. drilled, installed and developed three 200' wells in 5 days for their horizontal well demonstration project. Today, over 50,000 linear feet of horizontal wells exist under the JFK airport.
| |
 | A manufacturer faced with soil contamination beneath its building carefully assessed the benefits of a horizontal well system for dewatering and vapor removal. Our experienced crew installed and developed a 180' horizontal well at 8' below surface in a sandy-clay with occasional bedrock formation. The well was completed in 3 days with no interruptions to the busy manufacturing business.
| |
 | In two days, Directional Technologies, Inc. installed several wells from 50' to 150' in length and at a depth of 3¹-5' in a glacial till formation for in situ Bioremediation.
| |
 | Directional Technologies, Inc. installed 3 air sparging wells at a tank farm in upstate New York, in response to a pipeline leak. The wells were 500', 150' and 350' in length , and all were at a 20' deep in cobble.

 | Directional Technologies, Inc. was contacted to bore horizontally to target points under a manufacturing facility to collect undisturbed soil samples. The manufacturing facility had a plastic lined floor for spill protection. Collection of a soil sample by vertical drilling would destroy the integrity of the lining and spill prevention system. Directional Technologies, Inc. successfully collected six undisturbed soil samples in an afternoon.
