Horizontal Directional Drilling

ZapadGazEnergoInvest, LLC
Established 2000

Main Activities

Trenchless technology construction by horizontal directional drilling (HDD, 50 to 900 mm);
Trenchless technology construction by micro tunneling AVN 600,800;
Accomplishment of up to 1440 mm steel pipeline crossings according to the innovative Direct Pipe technology;
Straight hole drilling with the Prime Vertical drill unit;
325 to 1440 mm auger drilling;
PE-pipe welding and installation;
Electric installation and weak current works.

In its operations the Company applies state-of-the-art construction technologies.

Micro tunneling is performed with the Herrenknecht AG micro tunnel boring machines from Germany.

Pipelines are laid by horizontal directional drilling with the help of the Grundodrill andPrimedrillingrigs (Germany).

The policy of our Company seeks to implement latest technologies in trenchless pipe installation, for which purpose our members are consistently trained and upgrade their skills at TRACTO-TECHNIK GmbH & Co. KGinLennestadt (Germany).

Our equipment

Microtunneling machines AVN - 600/800

AVN equipment from Herrenknecht. Modern trenchless pipe laying allows for piercing tunnels that can stretch as far as 350 meters and make interpass shafts needless.

Prime Drilling units

Trenchless installation of 1000 mm pipesin different lengths up to 1000 m.

Grundodrill 7 X units

A hydrodynamic steerable bore rig for class 1, 2 and 3 soils. Trenchless laying of 300 mm pipes (mostly PE pipes), suitable for any pipe route up to 200 m (depending on soil class).

GRUNDOPIT 4060 drilling unit

A hydrodynamic steerable bore rig for class 1, 2 and 3 soils (with accessory equipment of category 4 and above). Installation of 200 mm pipes for any pipe route up to 200 m (depending on soil class).

DirectPipe machinery

This microtunnel complex for trenchless steel pipeline crossings with a diameter up to 1380 mm and length up to 1500 m. is an ideal solution for gas and oil underground routes.

PrimeVertical drilling system

PrimeVerticaldrilling system enables an operator to drill inclined, horizontal and multihole wells with high performance and economic figures for natural resources development in any seam, even in those very close to the surface.
