Horizontal Directional Drilling

NSCC was the first company to bring HDD technology into the region. This state-of-the-art technique offers clients in the region a non-destructive technique of underground cable positioning.

NSCC’s cables and ducts have been used by various local authorities for the connection of electric cables, fibre-optic lines, water and other utilities.

HDD services also extend to the oil and gas industries, with the execution of shore approaches to oil platforms in remote offshore locations.

Backed by a large pool of regional resources, NSCC is able to serve a multitude of client requirements concurrently. Utilising our mega-rigs, NSCC is able to carry out crossings 1300 metres in length while pulling product line pipe 1500 millimetres in diameter

With our teams of qualified supervisors and site operatives having at least fifteen years of worldwide experience in horizontal drilling, clients can expect their projects to run smoothly, professionally and cost effectively.

The smaller and medium-sized HDD rigs are able to carry out period contracts comprising of a large number of short road crossings.
