This paper discusses directional drilling of pipeline crossings which is an environmentally responsible, cost-effective method of pipeline construction. Modern directional drilling rigs can place pipelines under rivers, streams, highways and other sensitive areas where conventional construction methods would be too expensive or even prohibited. A group of 11 pipeline contractors that use trenchless technology recently formed the Directional Crossing Contractors Association to promote the directional crossing industry. Any contractor with experience in directional crossings can apply for membership in the DCCA. Any individual or firm in the business of furnishing materials, supplies, equipment or other services to directional crossing contractors can apply for associate membership.
