The HDD Industry's Biggest Night
Horizontal Directional Drilling has historically been a tight-knit community, diversification with many new faces entering the field every day, makes it tougher to stay in touch. With that perspective, industry minds decided it was high time for an HDD reunion. If you operate a million-pound rig or a small machine, whether you are long-since retired or a recent entry into the market, this is an event that honors the HDD industry. The event is for all those who have participated in the industry throughout the years including contractors, owners, engineers and manufacturers no matter the rig size, from jumbo to mini units. In short, the purpose of the reunion is to celebrate the comradery that is HDD!
Also featured during the HDD Reunion will be the formal induction of the Class of 2025 into the HDD Hall of Fame. Underground Infrastructure magazine and the Horizontal Directional Drilling Association, in conjunction with the HDD Reunion Organization, are proud to announce the HDD Hall of Fame Class of 2025.
