Vertical Loop

A horizontal loop is the best option when your land area is limited or in retrofit applications of existing homes. A drilling rig bores a hole at of depth of 150 to 200 feet. A U-shaped coil of high-density pipe is mounted into the borehole. The excavations are backfilled with a sealing solution.

Horizontal Loop

This is the most common loop used when adequate land area is available. Loop installers use excavation equipment such as chain trenchers, backhoes and track hoes to dig trenches approximately 6-8 feet deep. Trench lengths range from 100 to 300 feet, depending on the loop design and application.
