Horizontal Directional Drilling Technology

One of Sintec's most distinctive areas of expertise is Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), known in Italy as Trivellazione Orizzontale Controllata (T.O.C.).

In 1984, working in partnership with the French company HDI, Sintec introduced this technology to the Italian market.

Horizontal directional drilling enables the installation of underground pipelines without extensive open excavation.

This technique is particularly useful when pipelines must cross rivers, roads, railway lines or densely developed urban areas.

Its advantages include reduced disruption to traffic, limited excavation work and a lower environmental impact compared with conventional open-trench construction.

Although Busseto is internationally renowned for its musical heritage and its connection with Giuseppe Verdi, the surrounding territory is also home to important industrial and engineering companies.

Sintec represents an example of the technical expertise developed in the province of Parma.

Through its involvement in major infrastructure projects across Italy, the company contributes to the development and maintenance of essential energy and water networks.
