Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

Trenchless underground crossings for cables, pipelines and utilities — with minimal surface disruption in congested or sensitive areas.

Overview

What we do in horizontal directional drilling

Where open trenching is impossible or too disruptive — under highways, railways, canals or dense city streets — ALSAFA installs ducts and cables by horizontal directional drilling.

An HDD Director oversees planning, drilling and pull-back, so crossings integrate seamlessly with the rest of the network route.

Capabilities

  • Road, rail & canal crossings

    Trenchless crossings that keep traffic and services running.

  • Urban & congested areas

    Precise bores beneath dense streets and existing utilities.

  • Duct & cable installation

    Pull-back of ducts and cables ready for fiber installation.

  • Route planning

    Bore path design coordinated with the wider network plan.
