30"Directional bore

Directional Boring

When cutting the pavement is not an option, we go underneath it. Horizontal directional drilling puts conduit across roads, driveways, and creeks without opening them up.

What it is

Under the road, not through it

A directional bore drills a steerable pilot hole from one pit to another, then reams it and pulls the product line back through. It is how you get a fiber duct or a power conduit across a state highway, a customer's new driveway, or a creek bank without tearing any of it up.

HDD crossing

Typical crossing

What a bore carries

Crossings	Roads, highways, driveways, parking lots, creeks
Product	PVC and HDPE conduit for power, fiber, and comm
Tracking	Walk-over locating for depth and alignment
Restoration	Entry and exit pits backfilled and returned to grade

Boring protects finished surfaces, so a new subdivision street or a homeowner's driveway does not get cut and patched to get a line across.
