Client Testimonials
We have used HDD Africa on several projects in Sasol, Secunda. I would use them at any opportunity. HDDAfrica has a wealth of HDD knowledge that kept our sites going whenever we ran into obstacles. Their positive problem solving and attitude was invaluable on site, saving us downtime and helping us achieve our deadlines. I would recommend HDDAfrica’s services to any contractor looking to take their operations to the next level.
Pieter Du ToitI have known and worked with Corrie Scheepers of HDD Africa on and off for over 19 years. Over these years he has been a Drilling Contractor and a Superintendent on a number of projects I have been involved in.They have always come up to the challenge and used his years of experience to get the job done. This has covered jobs of hundreds of meters crossing in all kinds of ground conditions in all parts of Gauteng. His attention to detail and safety for those around him plus the calm and professional attitude he shows makes it a pleasure to work with him. I would recommend HDD Africa services to any company.
Saleem EssackWith a backlog of bores, meeting Dip Civils deadline became critical at our site “SteynCity Gauteng”. HDDAfrica started the first bore in October 2014 and completed the last in December 2014. When all was said and done, bores totaling 11200 meters were completed weeks ahead of time, connecting water, gas ,fiber and sewer to mainlines and gave Dip Civils peace of mind.
HDD Africa’s growing resume can be attributed to their dedication to making sure each project, no matter how small or large, meets their clients’ expectations and is completed on time and on budget.
