Our History

Horizontal Technology, Inc. was formed in 1996. The company’s experience and roots stretch back to the 1970’s when the founder John English, began working in the Oil & Gas drilling service industry. While specializing in offshore plug and abandonment, the Federal Storage Well Program, John had his first encounters with HDD. After a couple years splitting responsibilities between Oil & Gas and HDD, he joined the industry full time, becoming Operations Manager for a specialized HDD service company, five years later, started Horizontal Technology, Inc.

Horizontal Technology quickly assembled a veteran HDD management team focusing on service, improving tools, and the development of new products. The reputation as the industry’s best HDD service provider was earned over the next two decades with millions of feet of accurate pilot hole on thousands of the most complicated and innovative HDD projects around the world. Horizontal Technology, Inc. furthered its commitment to the future of the industry in 2017 merging with the leading HDD engineering firm, CCI Inc.

We’ve had a great past and are proud of our place in HDD history but, most importantly, we are focused on the future and that of our clients’. We are confident our commitment and hard work will result in even greater success and benefits to the industry.
