What is Directional Underground Drilling?

Directional drilling is a trenchless construction method used to install underground utilities, pipelines, and conduits along a predetermined path. Unlike traditional trenching, directional drilling allows us to navigate beneath obstacles such as roads, rivers, buildings, and environmentally sensitive areas, minimizing surface disturbance and disruption.

How It Works

Our highly skilled and certified operators have a proven track record of successful directional drilling projects. Using cutting-edge directional drilling rigs and tooling — including the Vermeer Navigator S3 — we can easily work in various soil conditions and achieve accurate bore paths.

Once the new path is complete, we’ll address your underground utility needs, servicing any damaged equipment and installing new components as needed.

Benefits of Trenchless Drilling Over Traditional Methods

Choosing trenchless drilling to address your underground utilities can provide several unique advantages over traditional methods, including:

  • Minimal excavation and property disruption
  • Faster completion time
  • Reduced labor and property restoration costs
  • Enhanced durability and longevity

Applications for Commercial, Industrial & Residential Projects

A versatile solution ideal for commercial, industrial, and residential projects, trenchless drilling can be used in a variety of industries, including:

  • Telecommunications: Installing fiber optic cables, telephone lines, and other communication infrastructure.
  • Utilities: Laying underground power lines, gas pipelines, and water mains.
  • Environmental remediation: Installing monitoring wells and remediation systems.
  • Geothermal: Installing ground loops for geothermal heating and cooling systems.
