Our expertise spans the full lifecycle of HDD projects, from planning and risk assessment to on-site support and troubleshooting to install underground pipelines, conduits, and cables with minimal surface disruption.

We have successfully supported developers and contractors in delivering HDD installations through complex geological conditions, urban environments, and sensitive infrastructure zones. Our strength lies in diagnosing the root causes of technical challenges and providing engineered, site-specific solutions that ensure safe, efficient, and cost-effective outcomes.

Our HDD services include:

  • Detailed review of ground conditions, including geological, hydrogeological, and geotechnical assessments
  • Risk assessments tailored to HDD operations, identifying potential hazards such as fluid loss, borehole collapse, or hydraulic fracture
  • Preparation of Geotechnical Baseline Reports (GBRs) to define common bases for tenderers and manage contractual risk
  • Technical advice on drilling operations, including drilling mud properties, pressure control, and bore path optimisation
  • On-site support and supervision, ensuring that drilling activities align with design assumptions and respond effectively to unexpected ground behaviour

From planning to execution, we engineer HDD success beneath the surface
