Horizontal directional drilling

We are a specialised team that does horizontal directional drill work in rural, industrial and urban areas. Using this technique has less impact on public and job sites. We install underground pipelines, cables and services; this involves using a directional drilling machine to accurately drill along the specified path. We do all underground services including gas, water, power and comms. We are experts in any type of terrain; curved or straight we can do them all. We also arrange traffic management when required. Our team have a zero harm culture; we have a high focus on Health and Safety and make sure the environment regulations are followed to a high standard. This is an environmentally-friendly process. Using our drills we reduce high reinstatement costs specially when you have high restoration costs. Drilling is also your best option if you have an area with limited access, under roads, buildings, railway tracks, hills, rivers and wooded areas.
