Family Owned and Operated Since 1990
DCI was founded by longtime friends, colleagues, and engineers, John Mercer and Peter Hambling. The result of their mark was the most technologically advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) locating and tracking system in the market. Together, they pioneered the industry and built a company centered around being a genuine family business, upholding an employee focus, and driving innovation for a greater good at home and abroad.
30+ years later, Mercer and Hambling’s mission endures as the second generation of ownership and extended DCI family build upon their original vision. Product ingenuity, an openness for invention, and entrepreneurial employees are at the forefront of DCI today. Together, we help communities around the world bring modern infrastructure to their doorstep, faster and safer than ever.
