When life gives you highways, make lemonade. At least, that’s what they do in Canada. On a recent fiber project outside of Toronto, AZ3 - AZIMUTH THREE ENTERPRISES INC. and Tyler Skrinek of Vermeer Canada Inc. faced some tricky terrain. But Territory Manager Joshua Spray was there with a TeraTrak R1 and helped them get the job done.

The 18th Annual NASTT Western Regional No-Dig Conference occurred last week, and Territory Managers Joshua Spray and Jesus Alderete were there to represent. The No-Dig Conference showcases a variety of industry leaders and experts discussing the latest and greatest in the trenchless construction industry—so it was a perfect fit for Jesus to present the TeraTrak R1. The TeraTrak R1 is a one-of-a-kind mapping tool designed to make it as easy as possible for HDD contractors to provide accurate topography measurements, map out utilities, and create safe and effective bore plans that get the job done.

This award “celebrates companies with a state-of-the-art product or service making a significant impact in advancing the trenchless industry in the areas of rehabilitation or new installation.” Jesus presented on the many ways the TeraTrak earned this award and how it continues to influence the industry today. Thank you Jesus & Joshua for always representing DCI in the best light and to the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) and NO-DIG CONFERENCES & EXHIBITIONS LIMITED for having us!

What does it mean to be a "legacy brand?" It's so much more than having a history. We've been in operation for over 30 years—but any company can do that if they're business-minded. What truly makes a legacy brand is earning a reputation. It's about delivering consistent quality and reliability. It's about evolving with change while remaining true to your core values. It's about creating a lasting impact that can be felt through generations. A legacy brand doesn't chase, it builds. It's doesn't strive for profit, but trust and respect. It inspires not just because of where it's been, but because of where it's going. We hope that whether it's today or one day in the future, you feel that our brand has left that legacy.

At the HDD Rodeo, Senior Product Manager Siggi Finnsson MSc presented on the numerous benefits of bore planning, and how DCI's TeraTrak makes it easy. Watch his full presentation here: https://lnkd.in/gYht2NmZ

Tru-Tek started their bore at about 9:15am CT this morning. They did an unbelievable job, completing their shot in 35 minutes. Woody reported hitting rock about three quarters of the way through, but they still managed to hit the target, so no time penalties there. According to the rules, there are a few underground waypoints the team also needed to hit. For each inch a team is off, three minutes are added to their final runtime. We’re confident in Tru-Tek’s ability to hit the mark. Watching Ivan, Gordy, and Woody work together was a privilege. Their skill and professionalism shined through from start to finish. **Re-watch our Facebook livestream to see them in action.** Great works guys. We’re so proud to sponsor such a talented team. https://lnkd.in/eYY3Ue2q

Happy World Trenchless Day! Today, we celebrate the groundbreaking advancements in trenchless technology that are transforming underground construction and utility work. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is at the heart of these innovations, allowing us to install pipelines, cables, and conduits with minimal disruption to the surface. But beyond the technology, today is a tribute to the hardworking HDD crews whose precision, expertise, and dedication drive every successful project. The skill and hands-on effort of these crews make trenchless solutions not just possible but reliable, ensuring projects are completed safely and efficiently. Here’s to the teams in the field making it happen day in and day out! 💪 #WorldTrenchlessDay #HDD #TrenchlessTechnology #NoDig #Infrastructure #Construction #UndergroundConstruction #Innovation #HDDCrews #DirectionalDrilling
