Horizontal Drains
JDC’s superior reputation was built on horizontal drain expertise — landslide stabilization and prevention in virtually any geologic formation, anywhere.
THE FOUNDATION OF JDC'S REPUTATION
Jensen Drilling Company's superior reputation was founded on its expertise installing horizontal drains for landslide stabilization and prevention across a wide range of soils and rock types, with all types of accessibility challenges.
JDC has installed drains up to 1,500 feet in depth, ranging from 30 degrees below horizontal to 60 degrees above horizontal — achieving results in virtually all types of geologic formations. No formation is too challenging, and no site is too remote.
We travel worldwide for horizontal drain projects and are available for consulting on slope stabilization. If water is causing instability, JDC has the proven methods to address it.
