Publications

Since its foundation in 1994, the Drilling Contractors Association DCA has been releasing numerous publications written by its members. These have made a contribution to a steadily growing acceptance of the HDD method among Clients, Authorities and Planners.

The core of the processing here is the DCA’s technical guidelines, which are known in the industry under the title ‘Information and Recommendation for the Design, Construction and Recommendation of HDD-Projects’ and are available on the market in German and English in their 5th edition from 2024/2025 and in French in their 4th edition.

Further publications on topics such as general terms and conditions or bills of quantities can be ordered by non-members as ‘technical information’ in addition to the technical guidelines from the office. This information is free of charge for members and can be downloaded from the DCA member area.

The DCA’s press organ for German-speaking countries has been the trade magazine bi-UmweltBau for years. The subscription is included in the membership fee.
