Horizontal directional drilling (HDD)
Horizontal directional drilling installs cables and pipes under roads, railways and other obstacles – no trenches, no interruptions.
Non-directional horizontal drilling
Non-directional horizontal drilling installs pipes or ducts underground without real-time steering. It suits short, straight runs in favourable soils, where a curved path around obstacles is not needed.
Pipe ramming (ESSIG)
Steel pipe driven through the ground with ESSIG pneumatic rammers, for diameters from DN25 to DN1500, on short, straight runs.
Pipe jacking
Concrete, clay or steel pipes pushed through the ground with hydraulic jacks, without open trenches. Typical lengths up to 60–80 m; we have also completed DN800 over 92 m.
Vertical drilling
We drill vertical boreholes for groundwater (water wells), geothermal boreholes and geotechnical and geological investigations.
Water and sewer networks
We carry out water supply and sewerage works.

Why us?
The most efficient technologies and equipment
We have modern HDD rigs with digital guidance systems that deliver high accuracy underground and meet the most demanding requirements, whatever the ground or the complexity.
Whether for water, geothermal or industrial drilling, our rigs work fast and efficiently, while operators monitor working parameters in real time and adjust the process to each project, for clean and reliable results.
Specialised crews and certified expertise
Every successful project starts with the right people. At XCD HDD, we rely on a team of experienced specialists with continuous training. We invest constantly in professional development, keep up with new technologies and work rigorously to deliver quality results, whatever the complexity of the job.
Speed, value and lasting solutions
We rely on experience and rigour to deliver work to the highest standards. We use modern horizontal directional drilling to install pipes and underground systems without destructive work on the surface. Avoiding conventional excavation considerably reduces execution time and costs, while delivering solid, safe and durable results.
We adapt our methods to the ground and to each project’s requirements, for the best execution whatever the challenges.
We work in many counties
such as Mureș, Cluj, Sibiu, Brașov, Alba, Harghita, Covasna, Bistrița-Năsăud, Hunedoara and Bihor.

We follow NO-DIG best practice
At XCD HDD, environmental responsibility is part of how we work. By using trenchless crossing and drilling technologies, we install underground utilities without open trenches, actively helping to protect the soil, vegetation and local ecosystems.
We apply the industry’s best practices, in line with European environmental protection and operational safety standards. All our projects are carefully planned to minimise the impact on the areas crossed — whether roads, watercourses, farmland or sensitive urban areas.
Frequently asked questions
What does trenchless horizontal directional drilling (HDD) mean?
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a modern technology that installs pipes and cables underground without open trenches. It is ideal for crossing roads, railways and other obstacles, reducing the impact on the environment and existing infrastructure.
What are the advantages of HDD technology?
HDD technology offers many benefits, including:
