The Experts in Complex Horizontal Drilling
When projects require precision beneath buildings, infrastructure, or sensitive sites, Directional Technologies delivers the expertise to drill where others can’t.
Experience
The Team Behind the Toughest Subsurface Projects
Complex drilling projects aren’t solved by equipment alone.
They’re solved by engineers, geologists, and drilling specialists who understand how conditions underground affect real-world projects. For more than three decades, the team at Directional Technologies has worked alongside consultants and contractors to plan and execute drilling solutions in environments where accuracy and judgment matter.
When projects leave little room for error, clients rely on the people behind DTI
The Clients Who Call DTI
Our clients approach projects across different industries,
but they share one priority: working with a team that understands
the challenges of the underground.
Environmental Consultants & Remediation Teams
Environmental remediation often involves contamination trapped beneath buildings, highways, rail lines, or active facilities.
Directional Technologies works with environmental engineers and consultants to install horizontal remediation wells that allow treatment technologies to reach contamination in these difficult locations. More innovative technology or geometry is more on our side. - working with the geometry
DTI helps environmental teams:
- Access contamination beneath infrastructure
(6 or more vert, you should think Horz.) - Design effective horizontal remediation wells
- Install wells within precise treatment zones
- Support systems like SVE, DPE, ISCO, and sparging
Many of the teams we work with are exploring horizontal wells for the first time, so DTI acts as a technical partner, guiding projects from concept through installation.
Utility Contractors & Civil Construction Teams
Utility and civil projects often require drilling beneath roads, railways, rivers, and other infrastructure where precision and reliability are critical.
Directional Technologies partners with contractors who need an HDD team capable of executing complex crossings without unnecessary risk.
Contractors rely on DTI to:
- Navigate difficult drilling conditions
- Avoid costly mistakes and delays
- Provide input during planning and design
- Deliver consistent results in the field
When a crossing involves tight tolerances or sensitive infrastructure, experienced contractors call DTI.
More Than a Drilling Contractor
DTI’s value goes beyond drilling. Our team contributes technical insight that helps projects succeed before the rig ever arrives on site.
Expertise Beyond the Drill Rig
DTI’s engineers, geologists, and drilling specialists understand how subsurface systems behave. That knowledge allows us to contribute to project planning and help clients avoid design issues before drilling begins.
Collaboration That Improves Outcomes
We work closely with consultants, engineers, and contractors to develop drilling strategies that align with real-world site conditions and project goals.
Proven in Challenging Environments
DTI has supported projects ranging from contaminated industrial sites to complex utility crossings beneath critical infrastructure.
Experience That Reduces Risk
Thousands of completed projects have exposed our team to a wide range of drilling scenarios, helping prevent costly surprises once drilling begins.
Experience That Shows Up in the Field
For more than three decades, Directional Technologies has supported drilling projects across North America and internationally.
Our team has designed and installed 5,000+ horizontal remediation wells while supporting drilling work across multiple industries and site conditions.
That experience becomes especially valuable when projects involve:
- Tight access and confined work areas
- Sensitive or active infrastructure
- Challenging geology
- Strict environmental regulations
- Projects where failure is not an option

Tools Don’t Solve Problems. People Do.
Directional Technologies has helped pioneer the use of horizontal wells for environmental remediation worldwide.
Our team has supported several notable industry firsts, including:
- First horizontal dual-phase extraction well installed in South Korea
- First horizontal wells installed in Australia for in-situ chemical oxidation and biosparging
- First horizontal ozone sparge wells installed in Alabama
These projects represent only a portion of the innovative work DTI has supported in collaboration with environmental engineers and consultants.


Solving the Problems Others Can’t Reach
Horizontal drilling isn’t always the first solution considered.
But when contamination lies beneath infrastructure, when utilities must cross difficult obstacles, or when conventional approaches fall short, it can unlock solutions that would otherwise be impossible.
Directional Technologies brings together the engineering insight, drilling experience, and field execution required to make those solutions successful.
If you’re evaluating a challenging drilling project, our team is ready to help.
