We are a leading horizontal directional drilling (HDD) firm in Auckland with a track record of exceptional success and delivering absolute client satisfaction. Our expertise in trenchless engineering, success rates, and expertise is unmatched in the neighborhood.
Our directional drilling services are useful in a myriad of scenarios. In earlier days, rivers, large structures, wetlands, and protected areas used to be a challenge while installing underground utilities. However, with HDD technologies it is now possible to overcome these obstacles in the most efficient ways. Our services are widely used to install/upgrade subsurface telephone lines, fiber optics, drainage, and communication lines across Auckland. We use advanced machines and drilling techniques that are useful for irregular underground or places where local communities object to the loud drilling activity.
With HDD machines, it is possible to drill multiple down holes in the same rig, reducing surface disturbance and environmental impact. Our experienced technicians can efficiently install, repair, or replace existing underground utilities in the easiest, hassle-free way.
Say NO to hazardous digging trenches for subsurface utility installations and replace them with our environment-friendly horizontal directional drilling or HDD. Our machines and techniques are effective and practical for a range of underground installation projects and also cost-effective.

Directional drilling and trenchless technologies are
gradually replacing traditional open-cut excavation. HDD enables quick
connections of pipes and other underground amenities on sites where trenching is
not feasible. The subsurface bore paths help to drastically reduce public
disturbance or damage to existing buildings or natural resources.
In underground drilling, a surface-mounted directional drilling
rig is used, which can push, rotate and pull strings of steel drilling rods.
The drill string is directed along a pre-determined bore path, i.e.; from the
drilling rig to an exit pit hole. From here, the steering head is released and
replaced by a hole opener, which is also called a reamer. The conduit is now
directly linkable behind the hole opener through a swivel.
Horizontal drilling can be used to drill multiple boreholes from the
same rig. This technology was a turning point for water mains and pipelines,
installing sewers, upgrading power cables, installing new gas cables, and storm
drains. Underground boreholes can be a 10 meter or deeper, depending on the
project's topography. HDD technology is compatible with pipes made of different
materials (steel, polyethylene, PVC) and later joined into one continuous
length.

We endeavour to be prepared with plans, equipment, staff, and solutions from the planning stage to completion.
We use the Vermeer D10x15 S3 Navigator for HDD projects. It is a benchmark machine used in directional drilling across the world. We regularly train our crew in advanced machines, trying to stay abreast with evolving technologies and implement them in our projects for better results.
Directional drilling processes can only be performed by trained technicians. Our engineers are highly experienced in technology and skilled at interpreting illustrations and geological diagrams, conducting surveys, and learning from past projects.
Our engineers use innovative and popular techniques and continuously strive to understand the individual requirements of the projects to make informed decisions. This helps us make the drilling process better in real time and ensure everything goes as planned in lesser time.
