January 15, 2009 - The website, www.ecihdd.com, features informative case studies, an impressive photo gallery documenting past projects, and a comprehensive video demonstrating on site drilling technology.
“ECI believes in protecting the global environment and it is with this in mind that we provide clients with alternatives to conventional underground construction methods,” says Philip Andrus, the firm’s president. “The company is second to none when it comes to applying and integrating high quality, state-of-the-art drilling technology to current construction challenges.” The ECI team has successfully completed over 1000 horizontal directional drilling crossings, both domestic and international.
A directional drilling project can range in size from 300’ installation underneath a roadway to a 6,000’ installation underneath a river or other obstruction depending upon circumstances. ECI accomplished a distance world record for drilling in Savannah, Georgia, while boring under wildlife preserve and wetland areas.
“It takes precision in planning and expertise in execution to keep the integrity of environmentally sensitive areas intact while drilling,” notes Andrus. It is with this in mind that Environmental Crossing, Inc. selects drilling projects and jobs. He believes that development, such as directional drilling, and conservation can coexist in a carefully designed and constructed environment.
ECI is uniquely positioned to provide “green” solutions to expanding our nation’s infrastructure by placing water, sewer, gas and electric utilities underground using environmentally friendly methods.
Andrus points out that ECI imposes the highest quality standards on underground construction activities in an effort to leave the least possible impact on natural resources and environment. Using a combination of innovation, creativity, state of the art tooling, dedicated personnel and high quality materials, the company has developed a solid reputation as a horizontal directional drilling pioneer among its competitors and clientele.
