HDD Solutions

What HDD Solutions does

HDD Solutions, Inc. is a Texas-incorporated underground construction and telecommunications infrastructure services company founded in January 2004 by Nader Osman and headquartered in Houston. The firm delivers maintenance, splicing, and construction services to telecommunications providers, electrical utility companies, government agencies, and commercial and residential developers. Its customer base spans cable television, telephone, fiber optic, and electrical industries, with named capabilities in FTTX/FTTH/FTTB deployments, structured cabling, and emergency repair work.

The service portfolio is organized into six core lines: broadband installation (residential and commercial fulfillment), direct sales support (market sweeps, audit sales, win-backs, MDU channel management), ISP/OSP underground construction (directional boring, drop buries, aerial), special projects (FTTX/FTTH, LTE, HFC hub installations, fiber splicing, bridge attachments, duct banks, emergency repairs), structured cabling, and an international work placement offering operated through a partnership with Occupations International. Delivery is via company-employed technicians using a uniform fleet of vehicles equipped with industry-standard test and safety equipment. An OSHA-consultation-built safety program (compliant with 29 CFR Part 1926 and EM 385-1-1) and Jones/NCTI-certified technician training are cited as core operating standards.

The company operates eight US work centers (Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Miami, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Shreveport) and publicly claims the ability to stand up a new work center within five business days. Revenue is generated through project-based custom quoting under multi-year contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. HDD Solutions is privately held, founder-owned by Nader Osman (President), bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional investment, and uses sub-contractors to flex capacity for directional drilling and aerial projects beyond its core employee base.
