Our services
High-quality trenchless crossing and drilling services
At XCD HDD, we carry out tailored underground installations for utility networks, industrial projects and agricultural areas – all with modern HDD equipment and certified crews.
Whatever the ground conditions or the complexity of the job, we provide modern equipment and specialised crews for safe, fast, cost-effective and durable work.
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. Suited to short, straight crossings under roads, railways and canals.
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.
