Digital Connection Co. Ltd. (DCL) was established in 2002 in Saudi Arabia and has grown to become a leading provider of trenchless technology and telecommunications construction services. DCL introduced the use of horizontal directional drilling for pipeline crossings which reduced construction time. Since then, DCL has completed over 100,000 meters of utility crossings using trenchless methods and constructed the longest and largest diameter HDD crossing in the world. DCL was acquired by Saudi Consolidated Contracting Company in 2013 and continues to provide engineered solutions for challenging infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia.
2. Digital Connection Co. ltd.
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 The Beginning
3. DCL provides Telecommunication/Power, HDD/ThrustBoring and Tunneling
construction services for the largest market in the Middle East, Saudi
Arabia.
We recently completed the world's longest tunneling contract in Abu Ali,
Saudi Arabia for Saudi Aramco. DCL was purchased by Saudi Consolidated
Contracting Company, SCCC in early 2013.
We continue to place engineering solutions to difficult problems at the
forefront of our strategic plan to differentiate us from the competition.
When you face challenges requiring an engineered solution, contact DCL.
