–and for the ongoing safe operation of the pipeline.

Water protection: Imperial has developed contingency             Project approvals and/or permits:

Horizontal
directional
drill (HDD)

We know the Credit River is important to the community and
that is why we are using the most advanced and least intrusive
technique for installing underground pipeline: horizontal
directional drill.
HDD is a trenchless method of installing underground pipe using a drilling rig at the surface level with
minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
