HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is one of the most widely used methods for trenchless pipeline and utility installations.

It is a low disturbance approach for accurately and efficiently crossing roads, railways, rivers, bays and a variety of other obstacles with minimal environmental impact. HDD is used in situations that allow for an angled installation, and requires adequate space to set up a drill pad at the rig site.

We have used our nearly two decades of operational knowledge to develop a safe, modern, and well-maintained HDD fleet. Each piece of equipment is operated by highly experienced crews with the expertise and training to work in all conditions and terrains.
