HDD Contractors Roundtable – 2025 HDD Guide
Contractors are the heartbeat of the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry. On any given day, they juggle multiple roles — installer, mechanic, designer, and problem-solver — all while working closely with manufacturers, suppliers, project owners, engineers, and even the public.
So, when it came time to explore the current state of the HDD industry, we went straight to the source.
Who better to address on the real issues, challenges, and opportunities than the professionals in the trenches (so-to-speak)? What’s keeping them up at night? Where do they see the industry heading?
We brought together an outstanding group of HDD contractors representing a wide range of project types and sizes to share their firsthand perspectives. These are their voices — direct from the field.
Participating in the panel are:
Phill Perron, Vice President Projects, The Crossing Company USA
Matt Wartko, President, Don Wartko Construction
Justin Hedemann, Vice President, EnviroBore Directional Drilling
John C. Wood, President, Lovelady Directional Drilling
