bit of semi-egotistical navel gazing but man, I do not give myself enough credit for the things I can do.

so: With the new house we have painted, ripped up the carpet, removed the tacking, etc, etc, etc getting the render off the garage walls, demoed the cabinetry in there, patched the cracks in the back steps, patched the tiles, regrouted the bathroom, removed extraneous coax cabling everywhere, dowel patched the floor holes and stain-matched, puttied, stripped the vinyl tiles, removed adhesive, resanded, relocated the NBN outlet, repaired and remortared the hearthstone, repaired the sliding door lock, repaired the shower screen, removed the laundry door, stripped wallpaper, fixed the bathroom tap, mounted a new toilet roll holder, removed and patched the eight billion geriatric grip handles, mounted new storage in the laundry and bathroom closets, modified the laundry cabinet sink for new shutoffs, ripped out faulty range hood and installed new one, had a bit of a pain in the arse with the laundry waste (found out there was a non standard piping) ripped that out, put in new 50mm and a new P trap, remortared the bathroom tiles and patched any holes so we can kick the reno down the road and currently in the process of repainting bathroom tile (for same reason) thing is, apart from the painting....that’s been me. 

Just me. Obviously there’s shit I don’t touch like electrical and copper piping, so we got trades in for the whole house rewire and the new shutoffs, solar, etc but even then I’ve been organising and talking to the tradies ‘cos they can’t BS me (most of my uncles are tradies) This is NOT to besmirch  His Lordship’s work!  He painted - and that was a big fucking job. Five rooms and a massive wraparound hallway, walls, ceilings and cornices as well as masking and sanding and washing prep - and due to the nature of his work as opposed to mine has been able to be on site to meet & greet the tradies (especially at bumfuck o’clock) and get them all pointed to where they need to go, but jesus christ I know how to do a lot of stuff. I’m awesome.

6 Real-World Applications of Horizontal Directional Drilling

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a groundbreaking technology that has had a significant impact on the construction and infrastructure sectors, both in Australia and around the world. This trenchless method allows for the installation of underground utilities with minimal disruption to the surface, making it a preferred technique in situations where traditional excavation would be impractical, costly, or environmentally damaging. Given Australia's diverse landscapes and the growing need for sustainable infrastructure solutions, HDD has become an essential tool in various industries. Below, we explore six real-world applications of directional drilling Sydney in Australia and the role it plays in shaping the nation's infrastructure. 

1. Telecommunications Network Expansion

Australia’s National Broadband Network (NBN) is a massive undertaking aimed at providing high-speed internet access to every corner of the country. With the vastness of the Australian landscape and the need to connect remote and rural areas, HDD has become a critical component in the rollout of this network. The technique allows for the installation of fibre-optic cables beneath existing infrastructure such as roads, railways, and rivers, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with traditional trenching methods.

For instance, in urban areas like Sydney and Melbourne, where underground utilities are densely packed, HDD provides a way to install new telecommunications lines without disrupting daily life. In rural areas, where terrain and environmental concerns can pose challenges, HDD enables the NBN to reach isolated communities, ensuring that all Australians have access to the digital economy. This method not only speeds up the deployment of the network but also minimises the environmental footprint of the project.

2. Water Pipeline Installation

Australia is no stranger to water scarcity, particularly in regions prone to drought. As the demand for reliable water supply grows, the need for efficient and sustainable water infrastructure becomes increasingly important. HDD offers a solution for installing water pipelines in a way that preserves the natural environment while ensuring that communities have access to clean water.

In regions like Western Australia, where agricultural activities and mining operations require a stable water supply, HDD is used to install pipelines beneath sensitive environmental zones, including wetlands and farmlands. This method allows pipelines to be laid without disturbing the surface, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem. Additionally, by minimising surface disruption, HDD reduces the risk of contamination during the installation process, ensuring that the water supply remains clean and safe for use.

One notable project involved the installation of a water pipeline under the Swan River in Perth. Traditional trenching would have caused significant environmental damage and disrupted local communities. However, by utilising HDD, engineers were able to complete the project with minimal impact, demonstrating the technique’s value in protecting both the environment and public health.

3. Oil and Gas Pipeline Projects

Australia's oil and gas industry is a major contributor to the national economy, with extensive infrastructure needed to transport these resources from extraction sites to processing facilities and markets. Given the challenging terrains and environmentally sensitive areas in many parts of the country, HDD has become a preferred method for installing oil and gas pipelines.

In Queensland’s Surat Basin, for example, HDD has been used extensively to install pipelines beneath rivers, roads, and farmland. The ability to drill horizontally allows these pipelines to be laid with precision, reducing the risk of leaks or environmental damage. In addition, HDD is often the only viable method for crossing large bodies of water or navigating challenging terrain, such as the rugged landscapes of the Northern Territory.

Offshore projects also benefit from HDD. When laying pipelines from offshore oil and gas platforms to onshore processing facilities, HDD enables the installation to occur beneath the seabed, avoiding disruption to marine ecosystems. This approach not only protects the environment but also ensures the longevity and reliability of the pipeline infrastructure, which is critical for the safe and efficient transport of oil and gas.

4. Electrical Conduits and Power Lines

As Australia’s population grows and urban areas expand, there is an increasing demand for reliable electrical infrastructure. HDD is widely used to install electrical conduits and power lines in urban and suburban areas, where minimising disruption to existing infrastructure and the community is a priority.

In cities like Brisbane and Adelaide, where residential and commercial development is ongoing, HDD allows for the installation of new power lines without the need for extensive road closures or excavation. This is particularly important in densely populated areas where traditional trenching would cause significant disruption to traffic and local businesses. By drilling beneath streets, sidewalks, and existing utilities, HDD ensures that new power lines can be installed quickly and efficiently, with minimal impact on the surrounding community.

In addition to urban applications, HDD is also used in rural areas to extend power grids to remote communities. For instance, in the Outback, where vast distances and challenging terrain make traditional trenching impractical, HDD provides a way to install power lines that can withstand harsh conditions. This not only improves the reliability of the power supply but also supports the development of renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind farms, which are increasingly being located in remote areas.

5. Environmental and Wildlife Protection

Australia is home to some of the world’s most unique and fragile ecosystems, and protecting these environments is a top priority for both government and industry. HDD has become an essential tool in projects where environmental protection is a primary concern, allowing for the installation of underground utilities without disturbing the surface or disrupting wildlife.

One example of HDD’s role in environmental protection is its use in the installation of pipelines and cables beneath protected wetlands, such as those found in the Murray-Darling Basin. These wetlands are critical habitats for a wide range of species, and traditional excavation would have caused significant harm to the ecosystem. By using HDD, engineers were able to complete the installation while preserving the integrity of the wetlands, ensuring that the natural habitat remains undisturbed.

HDD is also used in wildlife conservation projects, such as the installation of fencing or barriers that prevent animals from crossing roads and railways. In areas where animal migration paths intersect with infrastructure projects, HDD allows for the installation of these barriers without disrupting the animals’ natural behaviour. This approach not only protects wildlife but also enhances safety for motorists by reducing the risk of collisions with animals.

6. Urban Infrastructure Development

Australia’s cities are growing rapidly, and with this growth comes the need for modern, reliable infrastructure. HDD is playing a crucial role in urban infrastructure development, enabling the installation and upgrade of essential utilities without the need for extensive excavation or disruption to daily life.

In Sydney, for instance, HDD has been used extensively in the construction of the Sydney Metro, a major public transport project that requires the installation of underground utilities throughout the city. By using HDD, engineers have been able to install water, gas, and telecommunications lines beneath busy streets and existing infrastructure, minimising disruption to traffic and local businesses. This has allowed the project to proceed on schedule while maintaining the quality of life for residents and visitors.

HDD is also being used in Melbourne’s urban renewal projects, where ageing infrastructure is being replaced with modern, efficient systems. In these projects, HDD allows for the installation of new utilities beneath existing buildings and roads, reducing the need for demolition and excavation. This not only preserves the character of historic neighbourhoods but also supports the city’s sustainability goals by reducing waste and minimising environmental impact.

Horizontal Directional Drilling has revolutionised the way infrastructure is built and maintained in Australia, offering a versatile, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional methods. From expanding telecommunications networks to protecting wildlife, HDD is playing a critical role in shaping the future of the nation’s infrastructure. As Australia continues to grow and modernise, the applications of HDD are likely to expand even further, solidifying its place as an essential tool in the construction and infrastructure sectors. Whether in urban centres or remote regions, HDD is helping to build a more connected, sustainable, and resilient Australia.

Fibre NBN Time!

Since I saw the NBN Delivery Partners installing Fibre down my street in December 2023, I have been counting the days to when my place would be available to get upgraded to Fibre from FTTN/VDSL.

I did ask the contractors roughly when they reckon it'd be good to go, and they advised between February and April this year - that was a lie... But in any case, I waited. I checked Luke Prior's wonderful map, as well as the Rinseout Map. I had an integration going with Home Assistant which was pinging both the NBN and Launtel APIs every 8 hours for details, which would show on a handy-dandy card, and also, when the time was right, send a notification to me.

Which seemingly was all good for nothing, as I was seemingly checking more than what Home Assistant was...

Anywho, for months and months, all I saw was "Committed" with no real date other than May 2024, September 2024, December 2024, and back to September 2024. The exciting change came roughly during the last week of July, when the status changed to "Build Finalised" - Oooh. How exciting! Almost there! However, no date showed. About a week and a half later, the Launtel page updated, and we had a date that orders should be available from the 19th of August. I was on a day off that day, so I made sure I was up early to check I could put an order in and..... Couldn't order. And the page kept showing the 19th date until the 22nd of August, where, while I was eating my brekky, I saw that I was now eligible to order a service...! Hot Damn!

I called Aussie as soon as they opened and put my order in. The staff were great at accomodating my request for an appointment on the 26th as I had the day booked off already, so it would work well.

Then a few more days of waiting. I was allocated the 1pm-5pm slot and advised the install would take between 2-4 hours.

Get to today, and the tech shows up just after 2pm. We have a quick chat about what's getting done, why, and how. I largely left him to his work. We discussed and did a few things, after all, any help is good help, especially when paid per job, rather than per hour. The few things include:

Using the existing lead-in as a draw string (this is always easier with two people)

Finding the right pit to use (When I moved in, I got my DBYD maps, so had them for future reference, just like today!)

Finding an agreeable spot to install the exterior PCD (Unfortunately, no space worked, so my install is done without, and I'm probably happier without it)

Getting the NTD installed in the right spot on the inside (as I didn't want my access plate used for the fibre, as it's used for, well, the access!)

Unfortunately:

My lead-in conduit was cracked in the process, but it's probably something I can fix. I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.

The NTD was not able to go into the Hills Home Hub - it needs to have that ugly wall mount and the ugly cover and just for cleanliness, I would've preferred it in there, but it's been done now, so whatever.

Overall, I am pleased with how this installation has been, and I'm glad I now have the Fibre installed, as I can now get the speeds that I'm paying for - paying for a 100mbps service and getting only ~83mbps, despite syncing at 100mbps, is a bit rich.

I've fired up a Launtel service for the next few days too, just to kinda stress-test my old USG 3. I've got a 250/100 service which is going great thus far. I've run some backups to the other off-site location over IPSec and it's definitely a goer, so I'll toss up what to do with that after my trial ends - I have a feeling that once I have had a taste, it'll be tough to go without.

Next things on the list are to get by USG (soon to be a UCG - watch this space) and the NTD powered by UPS - ideally over POE as the runs are already there... Will see how we go!

Edit 26/8/24 10:00pm: I recall the tech saying that as far as being connected, it looked like I was the first in my street - way to be a trailblazer! That said, I’m sure others weren’t watching as intently as I was though…

NBN installers have been busy for 4hrs by now, I'm sorry about this fucked up house it's really just not making it easy on you at all.
