Hawaii’s tropical beauty attracts tourists from across the globe. The oceanic breezes and lush green forests evoke the idea of paradise. Beneath the ocean oasis of Hawaii’s second largest island, Maui, modern technology is hard at work. As a home to approximately 160,000 residents and a steady stream of visitors, the small isle has a steady need for updated infrastructure.
Boring and excavating may not present the same glamour and beauty as a sunset on the beach, but are necessary for the 700-square-mile island to maintain its splendor. When the city of Maui was in need of assistance to bolster its infrastructure, it turned to horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology.
