Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is the backbone of modern underground installation—allowing contractors to install pipelines, cables, and conduits beneath roads, rivers, and developed areas without open trenching. But success in HDD depends on one critical factor: knowing exactly what’s underground before you drill. In congested corridors, right-of-ways, or sensitive terrain, uncertainty isn't just inefficient, it’s dangerous.
Why it matters:
• Subsurface Strikes = Project Failure: Hitting unknown pipelines, power lines, cable lines, fiber optic lines, or obstructions can cause injuries, environmental damage, and expensive delays.
• Crowded Corridors and Right-of-Ways: Urban and coastal zones are packed with legacy infrastructure— often undocumented or inaccurately mapped.
• Precision Is Everything: HDD requires precise bore paths, depth calculations, and alignment with existing assets to avoid conflict and to avoid project delays.
• Environmental Risk: Inadvertent returns and fluid losses can harm ecosystems, especially when drilling beneath waterways or protected land.
The Revelation Technology is purpose-built to support HDD planning and execution with deep, passive, and enhanced subsurface intelligence. It delivers high-resolution 3D maps of buried conductive infrastructure. Unlike GPR, sonar, or magnetometry systems, Revelation:
• Operates passively, with no emissions or signal interference
• Maps through dense utility corridors and metallic debris
• Confirms depth-of-cover and location of conductive assets
• Reduces the risk of strikes
With intuitive 3D outputs and seamless integration into HDD workflows, Revelation gives operators the confidence to drill safely, avoid costly downtime, and meet project timelines from planning to completion.
