HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING
Horizontal Directional drilling stands as the most efficient, cost-effective, and timely method for installing conduits of varying sizes with minimal disruption. City Fiber’s HDD solutions are trenchless, capable of navigating beneath obstacles without disturbing the ground surface.
The City Fiber is globally recognized for delivering high-quality projects. With extensive experience in large-scale initiatives across North America, West Africa, and various other global locations, we are primarily active in Western Canada. As an industry leader, we handle a broad spectrum of projects, from simple utility bores to complex engineered crossings, with precision and efficiency.
Advantages of Horizontal Drilling:
- Elevated customer satisfaction
- Significantly faster than traditional trenching
- Cost savings on excavation, shoring, and restoration
- Reduced risk of trenching-related incidents
- Operable in all weather conditions, year-round
- Minimally invasive, ideal for environmentally sensitive locations
City Fiber excels in delivering comprehensive horizontal directional drilling services, managing projects ranging from extensive water course crossings to compact urban installations. Our track record includes successful completions of bores exceeding 1,000 meters in length and 900 mm in diameter.
Our Drilling Fleet Includes:
- Multiple Vermeer and Ditchwitch rigs, ranging from compact to large-scale capacities.
We specialize in drilling through hard formations, utilizing both traditional mud motor drilling and the advanced Ditchwitch 100 All Terrain drill for efficient rock penetration. Our operations are enhanced with full drill mud recycling systems, reducing both costs and environmental impact.
For precision drilling, we use state-of-the-art steering systems, such as the Digitrak Falcon F5 with comprehensive data logging and the Paratrack 2 wireline guidance system for deep, accurate pilot hole drilling. These technologies ensure meticulous execution of our projects, even in challenging conditions.
