We are DCI
DCI is an innovative company comprised of smart, committed and fun people who are dedicated to making our customers more efficient and profitable.
The DCI Story
DCI was founded by longtime friends, colleagues, aeronautical engineers, and avid pilots John Mercer and Peter Hambling in 1990. The result was the most technologically advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) locating and tracking system in the market, backed by extraordinary customer service. HDD technologies are used to install underground utilities, such as fiber optics, power, and water with minimal environmental impact.
We revolutionized the HDD industry with the introduction of the DigiTrak locating system in 1991. The unique features of the system provided greater accuracy for measuring the depth and location of the drill head than prior systems by providing two additional vital orientation parameters: pitch and roll. By knowing the pitch and roll of the drill head the drill operators could advance the drill much faster and pull back the product easier so the drilling operation became more accurate and productive.
Our Work Philosophy
Providing an open, supportive, collaborative, and fun work place is the cornerstone of John and Peter’s philosophy. Our headquarters has no offices or cubicles. We use large live plants to separate the different areas which adds to the ambiance, gives us energy, and fuels our creativity. The environment encourages everyone to pitch in with whatever needs to get done and promotes easy communication.
