ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, November 1, 2026: Inframax General Contracting LLC, an HDD contractor pre-qualified by ADNOC, has outlined its horizontal directional drilling services for underground pipeline and utility projects across the UAE. Its work covers pipeline installations beneath roads, railways, water channels and marine areas without open trenching, and it serves infrastructure and underground utility projects throughout the country.

Buyers should ask any provider how a crossing will be surveyed, drilled and tracked before work starts. Equipment, engineering input and precision guidance systems all shape the result.

Crossing works in Dubai and Abu Dhabi require a valid No Objection Certificate from the RTA and Abu Dhabi City Municipality respectively. Clients should confirm early who will manage permits and approvals. Those steps affect the programme as much as the drilling itself.

Precision guidance systems are used to help keep the bore on its planned alignment. Crossing length, soil type and the number of existing services nearby are the main factors that determine the design.

Crossings beneath roads, highways, railways, water channels, marine areas, bridges and landscaped areas fall within HDD works, along with urban utility corridors. Applications include oil and gas pipelines, water and sewerage networks, and electrical and telecommunications ducts. For HDD cable installation, the surface above the route generally stays undisturbed, which limits the work area needed at ground level.

Safety planning starts before drilling. Operators typically locate existing underground services and confirm them with hand-dug test holes before the bore begins. This step is standard good practice for any HDD crossing.

"Our focus is specialised HDD and trenchless construction, delivered with engineering precision and safe project execution across the UAE," said a spokesperson for Inframax General Contracting LLC.
