Horizontal Directional Drilling

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method used to install underground utilities such as pipelines, conduits, and cables with minimal surface disruption. The process begins with drilling a pilot hole along a predetermined path using a steerable drill head. Once the pilot hole is completed, back reaming is performed—this involves pulling a larger cutting tool back through the pilot hole to enlarge it to the required diameter for the utility installation.

This technique is especially useful for crossing obstacles like roads, rivers, or congested urban areas where traditional open-cut methods would be impractical or too disruptive. HDD and back reaming can be used to install:Water and sewer pipelines
Gas and oil pipelines
Electrical and telecommunications conduits
Fiber optic cables

Slab Sawing

Concrete slab sawing, is a key process in construction and demolition used to cut horizontal surfaces like floors, roads, and bridge decks. It involves a walk-behind saw with a diamond blade, capable of cutting through materials like concrete, asphalt, and stone with precision and control.

Core Sawing

Concrete core sawing is a precise cutting method used to create circular holes in concrete, asphalt, or masonry surfaces. It involves a diamond-tipped core drill that bores through the material, producing clean, smooth openings. This technique is commonly used for installing plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, or for taking core samples for testing.

Concrete Trenchings

Concrete saw trenching is a construction method used to cut narrow, precise channels or trenches into concrete surfaces, typically for the installation of utilities such as electrical conduit, plumbing, or drainage systems. This process involves the use of a specialized concrete saw equipped with a diamond blade, which allows for clean and controlled cuts through tough materials like concrete or asphalt. Trenching with a concrete saw is favored for its accuracy, minimal disruption to surrounding surfaces, and efficiency in creating straight, uniform cuts. It is commonly used in both indoor and outdoor settings, including warehouses, roadways, and commercial buildings.
