Since 2005, our company is engaged in construction of underground utilities by horizontal directional drilling. Our specialists have more than 15 years of experience in HDD. We know firsthand what exactly is necessary for our clients.
The main idea of FORWARD project is to produce drilling equipment, which main technical characteristics will be conformed to American and European origins and the price will be affordable. The equipment must be totally satisfy all clients requirements and adapted to work in Russia, in other words drilling equipment must be suitable to operate in different climatic, geological conditions.
The first line of FORWARD products started from HDD Rigs with pulling force of 11, 22 and 33 tons. The first HDD Rigs started working for the projects in Russia and CIS countries; we got the feedback from the clients and continued improving the equipment.
In 2012 we added 2 models to FORWARD HDD Rigs line with pulling force of 44 and 77 tons. At the same time, we entered the international market and expanded production facilities, started up the new lines of equipment: coring and water well drilling equipment.
