eD DOUZiECH
PRESIDENT
As President, Ed brings over 30 years of experience as one of the original trenchless designers in North America. Ed entered the early Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) industry as a directional driller providing planning and tooling services for an international oil field company based in Houston, Texas. Supplying the northern market with the first HDD services and ultimately becoming it's Canadian Divisional Manager, Ed continued his career planning and constructing some of the largest projects throughout the world. Ed’s projects have continued to break world records in length and complexity including the largest Microtunnel urban project in downtown Calgary, Alberta. He is considered an expert in trenchless design and construction, personally managed over a thousand successful completed designs, and has appeared as an expert witness in provincial court.
 
Ed has developed many of the planning/construction techniques now considered standard practice. He continues to develop and successfully construct cutting edge trenchless projects/services/products and received multiple industry awards in design and project management. Eds experience includes operations, development, and project management as well as large scale trenchless projects, pipeline construction, reclamation/remediation, municipal and integrity work.

WHAT IS HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING?
Schedule a Lunch & Learn today . . .
Learn why traditional methods of installing pipework can often be very disruptive and have various limitations. Therefore, a technique our engineers are using is that of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) or trenchless drilling.

Innovative Strategies & Advantages of Horizontal Directional Drilling
  • Pipework can be installed either in straight lines or curved to avoid any obstacles
  • Working area is confined to the points of entry and exit only causing less disruption and aiding
  • No disruption to road, river or rail traffic and less impact on landscapes
  • Short, medium or long lengths of pipe can be installed without the need for intermediate pits
  • Our trenchless drilling equipment works from surface with no need for deep excavations
  • HDD is a much quicker process and, in many cases, has lower overall costs due to fewer workmen required
  • It’s unaffected by surface obstacles
  • Can be used to install pipes in changeable ground conditions

TerraHDD Solutions Inc. is committed to growing and expanding our relationships with all our clients while providing experienced solutions for all Trenchless methods.
