“It takes precision in planning and expertise in execution to keep the integrity of environmentally sensitive areas intact while drilling,” notes Andrus.

He believes that development, such as directional drilling, and conservation can coexist in a carefully designed and constructed environment.
ECI is uniquely positioned to provide “green” solutions to expanding our nation’s infrastructure by placing water, sewer, gas and electric utilities underground using environmentally friendly methods.
Andrus points out that ECI imposes the highest quality standards on underground construction activities in an effort to leave the least possible impact on natural resources and environment. Using a combination of innovation, creativity, state of the art tooling, dedicated personnel and high quality materials, the company has developed a solid reputation as a horizontal directional drilling pioneer among its competitors and clientele.
