Common HDD rock tools include Tri Hawk drill bits, PDC drill bits, tricone drill bits and rock reamers. Each tool is designed for different drilling stages and ground conditions.
The best drill bit depends on the formation. Tri Hawk bits and tricone rock roller bits are commonly used for extremely hard rock, while PDC drill bits perform exceptionally well in many consolidated formations.
A rock reamer enlarges the pilot hole after drilling, allowing the installation of larger pipelines, conduits or cables while maintaining bore stability.
