Abstract
Two of the most used trenchless techniques for installing underground pipes are microtunnelling and horizontal directional drilling (HDD). Both approaches are appropriate for various applications since they both have their own benefits and drawbacks. By comparing and contrasting the advantages of Microtunneling and HDD, this comparison aims to provide an insight of both techniques. The study will first describe each method's typical uses before introducing its fundamental concepts and methods. Then, it will assess and analyse their benefits and drawbacks in terms of cost, effectiveness, accuracy, safety, and environmental impact. The results of this study will help engineers, contractors etc. choose the most suitable and efficient techniques for trenchless laying of pipelines.
