BALTIJAS URBĒJS

Horizontal directional drilling in Latvia

Trenchless utility installation under roads, sites and existing infrastructure — precise, with minimal surface impact.

A trenchless solution for utility installation

Baltijas Urbējs specialises in horizontal directional drilling (HDD). We install pipelines and protective conduits along a controlled underground path — without a wide open trench. We work with general contractors and clients who need a clear technical partner for the drilling scope.

Technical capacity

  • Diameter up to

    700 mm

    From standard utilities to larger diameters

  • Depth up to

    25 m

    Path routed around obstacles and existing networks

  • Per bore up to

    450 m

    Longer routes in several sections — no overall length limit

The figures above are our working limits. Actual capability depends on ground conditions, pipe material, diameter, route geometry, access, existing utilities and approvals.

How horizontal directional drilling works

Every site is assessed individually — the process below is a typical sequence, not a guaranteed scheme for every case.

  1. Site and available data review

    Location, diameter, approximate length and known constraints.

  2. Route and obstacle mapping

    Existing infrastructure, access and approval requirements.

  3. Pilot bore

    A steerable bore along the planned trajectory.

  4. Borehole enlargement

    Preparing the hole for the pipe or protective conduit diameter.

  5. Pipe or conduit pullback

    Utility installation without a wide open trench.

  6. Handover of the drilling result

    Next steps after the drilling scope is complete.

Where horizontal drilling is used

  • Crossing under a road, street or railway
  • Work in built-up areas, yards, under trees
  • Surface, landscaping or existing infrastructure must be preserved
  • Open-cut would create disproportionate reinstatement or traffic disruption
