What is Directional Boring?
Horizontal Directional Boring or HDD is a trenchless technology that allows a customer to solve their underground utility job without an open trench cut. It is safer, faster, more cost effective and requires minimal disruption compared to other forms of underground utility installation. Using our drills we then bore into the ground and navigate the drill head using our locators to create a hole where the pipe will lay. Once we reach the other end of the bore path, we then pull the pipe back through the hole.
Advantages of Directional Boring
Directional boring works for many different soil conditions and settings. Roads, river crossings, and landscapes are all spaces that can use directional boring. Directional boring is ideal for high traffic and sensitive areas because there is minimal disruption. In many cases directional boring is also preferred for boring under roads which normally would require a disruption in traffic while conventional excavating methods are used.
