HDD Engineering Services
For over 20 years, CCI has been a leader in Trenchless Engineering—one of the very first core services we offered.
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless construction solution designed for the underground installation of cables, pipelines, and various utilities. This advanced, steerable method minimizes surface disruption when compared to traditional open-cut trenching methods. In scenarios involving challenging obstacles—such as roads, environmentally sensitive regions, or bodies of water—HDD is often the optimal solution for efficient and sustainable infrastructure deployment.
