Fluids are the lifeblood of any drilling operation. Horizontal directional drilling is no exception.

Geotechnology Inc. is an engineering firm that provides geotechnical, environmental engineering, geophysics, drilling and construction materials testing services on a broad range of projects.

When it comes to drilling fluids for horizontal directional drilling and vertical drilling, such as geothermal loop installation or water well drilling, there are a lot of similarities.

Efforts like the DFI Education Trust's grant program can help encourage young female engineers.

Horizontal directional drilling methods have been used for monitoring and remediation well installations since the late 1980s.

Sawa most recently served as a project manager at the corporate division of GEI’s Boston headquarters.

The scholarship fund offers financial awards to civil engineering students pursuing a career in the deep foundations industry.

The group aims to promote the value of adequate subsurface investigation, characterization and construction monitoring.
