German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci / Pipeline construction
German term or phrase: HDD
An abbreviation used in pipeline construction. No real context apart from the following definition:

Bauverfahren: Leitungsverlegung im vom offenen Graben abweichenden Verfahren, z.B. HDD.

I suppose it might be "Hochdruckdampf", but would be grateful for any ideas and translation possibilities.
