Directional boring (horizontal drilling) is a very efficient method of getting into an area, setting up and commencing operations. Open Trenching depending on depth and local ordinances can require additional labor, planning, supervision, safety precautions, and restoration. Urban areas such as water crossings, high traffic areas, pedestrian traffic, railroad spurs, and airports are ideal for directional drilling. Rural areas with low vehicle and pedestrian traffic tend to be better suited for open trenching. Our Project Managers will review your project after performing a site survey to best determine what options are best and available to you the client.

We can find any utility or object that is up to 6 ft deep and all but eliminate the risk for damaging it or the surrounding structures.
