A NEW ERA OF UNDERGROUND EXPLORATION

The next frontier is
beneath us.

Underground excavation still consists of heavy machinery and disruptive excavation. Dune is building autonomous Worm Drilling techniques and technology to open a new way through the earth.

Utilities & construction.
Less disruption.

A new way to connect the places we live, without opening up everything in between.

Open trenches bring heavy machinery, large crews and disruption above ground. Conventional directional drilling brings its own specialist setup. Dune is developing a compact, steerable alternative for underground utility routes.

The application

Water, power and communications connections beneath roads and neighbourhoods.

The Dune approach

A two-operator target, supervised autonomous drilling and fluid-optional operation where ground conditions allow.

Potential applications. Capabilities and operating requirements remain subject to development, testing and site conditions.
