What are the most important ground parameters for HDD projects?

The significance of soil conditions for the success of HDD projects is emphasized repeatedly among experts and becomes obvious when problems occur on-site at the latest. But what are the key underground features, and how do you get a grip on them?

This webinar will give a short overview of the most important geotechnical aspects in HDD projects to illustrate the importance of soil and rock exploration in the planning stage.

The following topics will be covered:

- The most important parameters in soil and rock

- Exploration methods
