About the Company

Primoris Services

Horizontal directional drilling for pipelines

SEDD provides horizontal directional drilling (HDD) services for trenchless pipeline installations across oil and gas, telecommunications, electric, water, sewer, and irrigation. It uses a drill head and guidance system to bore beneath obstacles like roads, wetlands, or rivers and install pipes without open-cut digging, handling pipe types such as PE, HDPE, PVC, and steel; it can complete crossings up to 56 inches in diameter and 10,000 feet long with large-bore rigs. The company differentiates itself by handling technically demanding, large‑bore drilling projects for major energy and utility clients and by its history of strategic acquisitions and backing from private equity, now as part of PLH Group. Its goal is to be a leading contractor for energy pipeline and utility projects by expanding its HDD fleet, capabilities, and service footprint while minimizing surface disruption and environmental impact.
