Horizontal Directional Drilling

For mining and energy companies needing underground infrastructure installations, Mytan Contracting’s Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a game changer. HDD enables precise underground utility placement—whether it’s for electrical lines, water, or gas—without the need for disruptive open trenches. This method reduces surface disturbance and speeds up project completion, while also cutting costs on labor and site restoration. Ideal for tight, environmentally sensitive spaces, HDD ensures your operations run smoothly with minimal downtime.

Water Drainage Solutions

Effective water management is critical for mining and energy operations, where flooding or improper drainage can compromise both safety and productivity. Mytan Contracting offers comprehensive water drainage solutions designed to mitigate these risks, ensuring your site stays operational even under challenging conditions. With our team’s expertise, we analyze your site’s specific water flow issues and provide tailored systems to prevent future drainage problems, protecting vital infrastructure and reducing downtime. Trust our reliable and efficient drainage solutions to safeguard your project.

Hydro-Excavation Services

Hydro-excavation offers a precision-driven, non-destructive method ideal for mining and energy sites requiring safe, efficient excavation around critical infrastructure. By using high-pressure water and vacuum technology, this service mitigates the risk of damaging underground utilities and pipelines—common in resource extraction areas. Hydro-excavation also ensures minimal environmental impact and disruption, making it an essential solution for large-scale projects where safety and accuracy are paramount. Mytan Contracting's hydro-excavation services help keep your operations running smoothly, even in challenging conditions.
