Our Trenchless Technologies

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
Advanced drilling techniques enable precise installation beneath sensitive areas without surface disruption. Our HDD expertise spans from micro-bore utilities to large-diameter pipeline installations.

Direct Pipe Installation (DPI)
Combining microtunneling and pipe jacking technologies, DPI provides unmatched accuracy for critical crossings where precision and minimal settlement are paramount.

Micro Tunneling (MT)
Computer-guided tunneling systems deliver millimeter accuracy for installations requiring the highest precision, particularly in urban environments and beneath critical infrastructure.

Horizontal Auger Boring (HAB)
Proven methodology for installing casings and pipelines with controlled line and grade, ideal for road, rail, and utility crossings where accuracy is essential.
