Only a few countries can compete with the advanced and extensive network
of underground cables and pipelines in the Netherlands. This extensive
underground infrastructure is designed for the distribution of liquids, gases,
electricity and the transmission of data. However, if such a network needs to
be extended or adapted, it is not always possible to dig trenches. In case of a
crossing with existing infrastructure or obstacles, trenchless technologies are
often the best solution. A.Hak Drillcon executes directional drilling projects in
the Netherlands, Europe, and in the rest of the world; always with the utmost
care. Based on the large number of technologies we have at our disposal, we
can justly call ourselves the specialist in trenchless technologies.

A.Hak Drillcon drills and places pipelines for

the distribution of gas, oil, kerosene, heat,
drinking water and wastewater, medium and
high voltage cables, telecom connections,

monitor each project carefully: from the initial
planning and design to the implementation

Our equipment features the latest technical
developments and meets the standards for a
cleaner environment. Together with our employees, suppliers, and clients, we regularly
make conscious choices in order to achieve
a better balance between people, planet and
profit.
