Specialised Machine Division (SMD) aims at offering highly specialised infrastructure services using latest state-of-the-art Specialist Machines, delivering Quality and Performance.

Our focus areas presently are Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and Cable Blowing /  Pulling, with associated Right of Way permissions. We offer turnkey solutions, using brand new best-in-class machinery. Manning these are our highly motivated and experienced engineers, who ensure On-Time-Execution every time.

Ours is a professional setup, with a reputation to maintain. We presently have a capacity of executing a max of 1000 m of Ducting by HDD per day, using two brand new Vermeer  D24X40 Series II Navigator HDD.

1. What is Horizontal Directional Drilling?
   • Horizontal Directional Drilling, accurately steered drilling, has become the state -of- the -art drilling technique in the world. Specially- designed direction-steerable core barrel and accurate direction measurement tools are available for use together with wire line core drilling machine. That makes it feasible to extract cores and to measure the drill travel line &length while drilling in a curve.
     
     
2. Why choose the HDD method?
   • It takes a fraction of the time required for traditional excavation.
   • Permits required for traditional excavation are not required in most cases.
   • Earth moving is not necessary in most cases; on small jobs, mud and debris resulting from drilling is collected by a special truck and removed at the end of the job.
   • Restoration costs are minimal, as there is no need to cut through established roads or driveways.
   • Boring rigs are compact and can often be situated on the side of the road. This eliminates or minimizes the need for traffic management or police in many cases.
   • Drilling material is contained to eliminate contamination to environmentally sensitive areas.
