Governance & Assurance
Pipeline Drillers Group delivers horizontal directional drilling works within structured governance systems designed to control safety, environmental and quality risk across all projects. The company operates under an integrated management system that provides a disciplined framework for planning, managing and verifying HDD works, ensuring projects are undertaken in accordance with client requirements, regulatory obligations and recognised industry standards.
Certification
We are proudly accredited to ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 4801, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards in health and safety, environmental management, and quality assurance.
Safety
Project delivery is supported by experienced site leadership, established operational procedures and continuous monitoring of drilling conditions and site activities. Safety is managed through strong onsite leadership, disciplined daily pre-starts, Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and ongoing reassessment of risks as ground conditions and drilling operations evolve.
Operational controls including exclusion zones, equipment inspections, clear crew communication and stop-work authority ensure hazards are identified early and managed proactively.
Environment
Environmental risks associated with HDD works are addressed through detailed planning and site-specific controls, particularly for crossings near waterways and environmentally sensitive areas.
Our extensive experience, coupled with industry leading processes and equipment ensures our strong track record of environmental stewardship is maintained.
Quality
Quality assurance is maintained through defined procedures, Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) and agreed hold points prior to construction.
During delivery, drilling alignment, performance parameters, materials and polyethylene welding are regularly verified to ensure installations meet project specifications. Final project close-out includes testing, preparation of as-built documentation and formal project handover to the client.
