Whether it’s gas, water, power, or fiber—GCS Group delivers clean, efficient, and cost-effective trenchless solutions built for long-term performance.
Your Go-To Partner for HDD
Horizontal directional drilling is a trenchless method used to install pipelines, conduits, and cables beneath the surface without traditional excavation. It involves drilling a pilot hole along a precise path, then enlarging it and pulling the product pipe into place. HDD is ideal for crossing obstacles like roads, waterways, or environmentally protected zones with minimal impact.
Our experienced drilling team uses state-of-the-art equipment and guided tracking systems to ensure safe, efficient installations—even in challenging soil conditions or tight urban corridors.
INDUSTRY-LEADING
With over 25 years of experience, GCS Group delivers innovative and sustainable construction solutions for residential, municipal, and commercial projects across Alberta and BC.
HDD minimizes surface disruption, reduces environmental impact, and avoids the need for open trenching—making it ideal for busy, sensitive, or hard-to-reach areas.
Depths vary by project, but typical installations range from a few feet to over 100 feet deep, depending on soil conditions, utility type, and clearance requirements.
We install water lines, sewer pipes, gas lines, electrical and telecom conduits, and more using HDD technology.
While upfront costs can be higher, HDD often results in cost savings by reducing surface restoration, traffic control, and environmental mitigation.
Timelines vary based on project size, soil conditions, and permitting. Smaller installations can take a few days, while larger or more complex crossings may require several weeks.
