 Digital Connection Co. Ltd. (DCL) was created in 2002 by Mr. Abdullah Akbar Natheer, a 
Saudi Aramco retiree, who had spent his career in Outside Plant Construction (OSP). 
 DCL undertook short form contracts in the beginning in the field of Telecommunication 
OSP. 
 During the first long form contract awarded by Saudi Aramco (Microwave Replacement, BI 
10-3988), DCL introduced the idea of converting all road and utility crossings from open cut 
method to Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). The proposal was implemented and 
execution time was reduced to 1/3 of the scheduled duration planned for the construction 
of road crossings. 
 This was the start of a journey which has evolved into creation of the most comprehensive 
Trenchless Technology service provider in Saudi Arabia.

 DCL has completed more than 100,000 meters of utility crossings using various trenchless 
technologies, HDD, micro tunneling and pipe ramming. 
 DCL has constructed pipeline crossings up to 48 inch dia pipes using HDD. 
 DCL is credited with construction of world’s longest in length (3,045 meters) and largest in 
pipe dia (30 inch) crossing using HDD, at the time of execution back in 2008. 
 DCL has the most successful record of construction of pipeline crossings under the sand 
dunes in Shaybah.

A PILOT HOLE is a smaller hole drilled into a material prior to a larger hole being drilled
The REAMING operation consists of using an appropriate tool to open the pilot 
hole to a slightly larger diameter
The PULLBACK operation involves pulling the entire pipeline length in one segment 
(usually) back through the drilling mud along the reamed-hole pathway.
