Why Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is the Future of Underground Infrastructure in Saudi Arabia
With over 15 years of expertise in delivering complex trenchless solutions, Lifcon has positioned itself as a leading name in Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. In today's fast-paced development environment, minimizing surface disruption while installing underground utilities is not just a luxury—it's a necessity.
🚜 What is HDD and Why Is It So Effective?
Horizontal Directional Drilling is a trenchless technology that allows for the installation of pipelines and conduits without the need for open excavation. This method is highly effective in urban environments, under roadways, and across environmentally sensitive areas—common challenges found in Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure landscape.
At Lifcon, we deploy HDD for the installation of telecom ducts, steel pipes, GRP pipelines, and more, using precision-guided drilling techniques that ensure accuracy and safety.
