YG HDD rig with durable design and high drilling efficiency
compact horizontal drill rig equipment for trenchless underground pipeline projects
A horizontal directional drill rig (HDD rig) is a type of advanced drilling equipment designed for trenchless installation of underground utilities. Unlike traditional open-cut methods, a horizontal drill rig can install pipelines, cables, and conduits with minimal surface disruption. Using horizontal directional drilling equipment, it ensures precision, reduces environmental impact, and significantly improves project efficiency.

High Precision and Control – With advanced guidance systems, operators can navigate complex underground paths accurately.
Versatile Applications – Suitable for a wide range of underground installations, including water, gas, telecom, and fiber optic pipelines.
Cost and Time Efficiency – HDD rigs minimize construction time and labor costs, making them ideal for urban areas or environmentally sensitive zones.
Durable and Reliable – YG horizontal directional drilling equipment is engineered for long service life and high operational stability.
YG Horizontal Directional Drill Rig Case Study – Philippines
In 2025, a Philippines client purchased a YG horizontal directional drill rig for a large-scale urban infrastructure project. The HDD rig successfully installed multiple underground pipelines across busy streets without halting traffic. Using horizontal directional drilling equipment, the project was completed 30% faster compared to traditional excavation methods, saving both time and cost. The client praised the rig’s durability, precision, and ease of operation, making it an ideal solution for future projects in the region. Later, the customer purchased mud pumps, excavators and other equipment from YG Machinery and became a loyal customer of YG Machinery.
