The Direct Pipe method is an innovative new trenchless installation method that results from the combination of microtunneling and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). This hybrid construction method is versatile, efficient, cost effective and is suitable for many ground conditions. lt combines all the advantages of pipe jacking and HDD as it involves simultaneous excavation of the borehole and installation of the pipeline - all in one step. However, as a relatively new drilling method advanced knowledge in the handling of drilling fluids in all Direct Pipe applications is crucial to provide a smooth operation.

Niva Solutions provides a comprehensive mud engineering solution with professional drilling fluid services for any Direct Pipe projects. With our innovative approach, fundamental knowledge and in-field experience our mud engineering team is well equipped for this drilling application method. Our mud engineers will support the technical team on site to maximise drilling efficiency and minimize operation costs.
