Trenchless Advisor sees a major opportunity to help grow, educate and heighten awareness within the industry as well as assisting companies with design, training and project evaluation when designated for HDD.

The HDD industry is relatively small compared to other construction industries and with most HDD personnel having some sort of knowledge of other contractors, an independent approach is required to understand the day to day operations taking place.

The director of Trenchless Advisor, Peter Brown, is not new to the drilling industry. He has spent eight years working in exploration drilling before progressing into the HDD market. From there he spent five years working for one of the world’s leading HDD manufactures, Vermeer Manufacturing, where he specialised in underground civil construction equipment including HDD. For the last three years he has been working for one of the east coast’s largest HDD companies, Infrastructure Constructions.

Unfortunately, to date, little has been available in Australia to help both the client and contractor when it comes to undertaking HDD projects. As the industry was only established in Australia in the early 1990s, only minimal information, if any, has been available to the major utility, transport and contracting companies to help them manage the increasing amount of projects now being completed using HDD. There are numerous benefits when undertaking a project using HDD but a major understanding is also required to ensure the project is completed safely and within the equipment’s capabilities.
