Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Contractor in Saudi Arabia
Underground infrastructure installation in modern urban environments requires precision, speed, and minimal surface disruption. As a leading Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) contractor in Saudi Arabia, DTC brings advanced trenchless technology to complex utility and pipeline projects — enabling installations beneath roads, buildings, and waterways without excavation.
Whether it’s fiber optic cables in Riyadh, sewer pipelines in Dammam, or water crossings in Jeddah, DTC’s HDD services help government entities, utility providers, and private developers get the job done with maximum efficiency and minimal surface damage.
What is Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)?
Horizontal Directional Drilling is a trenchless construction method that allows for the installation of underground pipes, conduits, and cables without digging open trenches. This technique is especially effective in urban areas or environmentally sensitive zones.
Benefits of HDD in Saudi Arabia:
-
✅ Minimal traffic disruption
-
✅ Environmentally friendly
-
✅ Cost-effective for long-distance installations
-
✅ Ideal for crossing under roads, railways, rivers
-
✅ Faster project delivery with fewer permits required
DTC’s HDD Capabilities Across the Kingdom
Advanced HDD Equipment
DTC operates modern, high-capacity HDD rigs suitable for various soil conditions across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. Our rigs are equipped for small- and large-diameter bores, capable of handling water, telecom, and gas pipelines with ease.
Utility Installation & Civil Works
From water and sewer lines to electrical conduits and telecommunication networks, DTC handles end-to-end HDD works — including surveying, design, drilling, pipe pulling, and restoration.
Experienced HDD Specialists
Our drilling teams are highly skilled in bore path planning, pilot hole drilling, reaming, and final pullback, ensuring accuracy even in challenging terrains such as rocky soils and coastal sands.
Common HDD Applications in Saudi Arabia
Telecommunication & Fiber Optics
Deploying fiber optic networks in major cities like Riyadh and Jeddah without cutting through roads or causing public disruption.
Water & Sewer Pipelines
Installing underground pipelines for municipal water and wastewater systems across residential and industrial zones.
Gas & Oil Pipelines
Trenchless installation of low- and medium-pressure gas lines under highways, buildings, or existing utilities.
Power & Electrical Conduits
Enabling secure, underground electrical routing for substations, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects.
HDD Project Phases at DTC
1. Feasibility Study & Bore Path Design
We conduct geotechnical investigations and 3D route modeling to ensure the bore path avoids existing utilities, achieves proper depth, and maintains optimal alignment.
2. Pilot Hole Drilling
Using guided drilling techniques, we drill a precise pilot hole based on the design path — ensuring exact horizontal and vertical positioning.
3. Reaming & Hole Enlargement
Our team enlarges the borehole using reamers suited for different ground types (clay, sand, rock) to accommodate the required pipe or conduit.
4. Pullback Installation
Pipes or ducts are pulled back through the enlarged hole using hydraulic systems. We use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or steel pipes depending on the application.
5. Site Restoration
After installation, we restore the ground surface, curbs, or pavements to pre-construction condition — ensuring a clean, professional finish.
