Steerable drilling that installs pipe and conduit beneath roads, driveways, creeks and landscaping without opening a trench.
Directional drilling lets a crew install a pipe or conduit from one pit to another underground, without disturbing what lies between. A road, a driveway, a creek bank or a row of mature trees can stay exactly as they are while a new line passes beneath.
We drill a small pilot hole along a planned path, steer it using a locating system, enlarge it with a reamer and pull the new pipe or conduit through. Entry and exit pits are small and restored when we finish. Boring is used for water, sewer force mains, gas, electric and fiber, whenever the soil and the path make it a good option.
Every bore starts with locating and potholing existing utilities, then planning the depth and the arc. We keep a safe distance from other lines and check the path as we drill.
Clay, sand and soft rock drill well. Hard limestone or cobbles can slow a bore or force a change of method, and we tell you honestly how your soil looks.
A mud of water and clay lubricates the bore and carries cuttings. We manage and recycle it so it does not run into yards or storm drains.
Drilling mud is mostly water and clay. We contain and recycle it, and we avoid releases near creeks and storm drains. Stream crossings often need regulatory approval, and we coordinate those.

Depth depends on what you cross and the pipe requirements. Under roads, bores are set well below the pavement structure.
It depends. Over short, open runs trenching can be cheaper. When surfaces must be restored, boring is often competitive.
HDPE, fused PVC and steel are commonly pulled, and conduit bundles too, depending on the project.
Yes, where permits and soil allow. Stream crossings often involve regulations, so we coordinate with the right agencies.
It is contained, recycled and hauled off as needed, so it does not run into yards or drains.
