Working near or on our network
Understanding when and how trenchless methods can be used to install power cables and ducts without digging up the road.
How can we help you?
We can support the successful delivery of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) works by providing guidance, approvals and oversight to ensure activities comply with the full range of statutory requirements.
As HDD often involves working near or beneath the strategic road network, we help developers understand legislative obligations, coordinate with technical specialists, and implement safe working practices that protect road infrastructure, utilities and the travelling public.
This includes reviewing geotechnical risk assessments to ensure ground conditions, stability risks and subsurface interactions are fully understood and managed.
Through early engagement and clear technical standards, we enable projects to progress efficiently while meeting all legal, environmental and safety expectations.
