Nicol of Skene's Horizontal Directional Drilling Project At Haudagain Roundabout

Nicol of Skene is delighted to announce the successful completionof a complex horizontal directional drilling (HDD) project at the Haudagain Roundabout in Aberdeen. The project involved the installation of a 160mm duct for electric cables, requiring a drill length of 124 meters from entry to exit.

The project presented numerous challenges, including the need to drill around existing underground services such as gas, water, sewers, electric, fibre optic, BT, and storm water. The project was also situated on the busiest roundabout in Aberdeen, necessitating careful planning and execution to minimise disruption to traffic flow.

Our team of skilled engineers and drillers overcame these obstacles by employing advanced techniques and machinery, including an AT30 Ditchwitch. The project was completed on time and within budget, with minimal disruption to traffic flow. This successful project demonstrates our expertise in complex HDD operations and our commitment to delivering high-quality results.
