1. Challenges of River Crossing Drilling Solutions

River crossing drilling solutions face complex geological conditions, water flow impacts, and environmental protection requirements. Traditional excavation methods damage riverbed ecosystems, while HDD technology, through trenchless construction, perfectly solves these problems and has become the preferred choice for river crossing drilling solutions.

2. Advantages of HDD in River Crossing Drilling Solutions

Precise Guidance: Real-time navigation technology ensures accurate drilling trajectories, avoiding deviations.

(1) Environmentally Friendly Constructio: Reduces interference with riverbeds and surrounding ecosystems, complying with environmental regulations.

(2) Efficiency and Safety: Eliminates the need for cofferdams or water interception, reducing construction risks and improving efficiency. These advantages make river crossing drilling solutions highly favored in large-scale projects.

2. Key Steps of River Crossing Drilling Solutions 

(1) Geological Survey: Analyze the riverbed stratum structure and formulate drilling paths.

(2) Pilot Hole Drilling: Use high-precision drill bits to drill along the designed trajectory.

(3) Hole Enlargement and Pullback: Gradually expand the hole diameter and lay pipelines, completing the core process of river crossing drilling solutions.
