START WITH YOUR PRIORITY
What do you need to improve in your HDD projects?
Select a priority and see how AXIS integrates it into the project.
Select a priority to explore how AXIS manages it.
Planning and engineering
Structure the project before field execution begins.
Centralize HDD engineering, project technical configuration and the information that drives execution.
- Technically structured project
- Traceable information from the design stage
- Common foundation for execution and control
MANAGEMENT VIEW
Know your project profitability as execution progresses.
AXIS connects physical progress, actual costs and contract value to identify deviations, measure profitability and anticipate the project’s financial outcome.
Physical progressWhat has been completed and what remains.
Actual costsWhat the project is actually consuming.
Financial gapDifferences that require management attention.
Projected closeoutWhere the financial result is trending.
ONE PROJECT WORKFLOW
From design to management decision-making.
AXIS does not end when the Bore Plan is approved. Information continues through execution, documentation, comparison and project control.

ONE SOURCE OF PROJECT INFORMATION
All project information. One source for decision-making.
The problem is not using spreadsheets, chats, email or cloud storage. The problem is depending on them to reconstruct what is happening in the project.

THE REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE BEHIND AXISAXIS was born in the field, not in a software office.
JCR Specialized HDD Services provides the technical and operational experience behind AXIS. Before the platform was developed, there were projects to design, bores to execute, drilling fluids to control, problems to solve, reports to close and costs to manage.
That accumulated knowledge from HDD professionals is now integrated into AXIS as an enterprise solution for companies specialized in HDD.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What you need to know before exploring AXIS.
Does AXIS require software or app installation?
No. AXIS runs directly in a browser and only requires an Internet connection. You can access it from a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or phone without installing additional software or apps. This allows project information to be reviewed and managed from both the office and the field.
Is AXIS only a Bore Planning tool?
No. The Bore Plan is only one part of AXIS. The platform integrates HDD project engineering with execution management, Daily Reports, documentation, As-Built, Plan vs Actual comparison and administrative-financial control. The goal is to support the project from planning through results analysis.
Can more than one person work on the same project?
Yes. AXIS is designed for different users and responsibilities within the same project. The Engineer develops and reviews engineering, the Supervisor records execution information, and Management can analyze progress, performance, costs and results. Everyone works from the same source of information.
What projects is AXIS designed for?
AXIS is specialized for Horizontal Directional Drilling projects using HDPE pipe. Its structure integrates HDD technical variables, resource planning, execution, documentation and financial control, allowing the same platform to support the project from initial design through closeout.
