Drill with safety, quality, and respect for the environment
At Danella, safety isn’t a protocol, it’s a religion. Through 16 training facilities across the U.S., our crews receive hands-on instruction in trenchless technologies, environmental stewardship, and risk scenario planning and mitigation. We go beyond the basics with job-specific simulations and rigorous field readiness evaluations. Every horizontal directional drilling project starts with a detailed job safety analysis and on-site planning that includes foremen, safety officers, and drill operators, ensuring that safety is engineered into every step.
A company committed to innovation
What sets us apart is our advanced drilling division, which operates across most of the United States. We use GPS mapping technology for our boring operations, allowing us to document the precise location of the utilities we install, including data depth and length for documenting as-builts.
Quality work depends on quality equipment, which is why we keep ours continuously maintained and up to date. Everything we use in the field is upgraded constantly to match industry improvements.
