Protect your Investment with Horizontal Directional Drilling

Traditional trenching of water, communication, and electric lines can damage lawns, sidewalks, driveways, streets and more. Horizontal Directional Drilling, also known as trenchless boring, reduces above ground disturbance. No more tearing out concrete or digging up yards!

What is Horizontal Directional Drilling?

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD), also known as directional boring or trenchless boring, is a method of installing underground utilities such as pipe, conduit, or cables with minimal impact to the surface. An entrance hole is dug and the bore head inserted. The head digs underground making a path for the pipe or cable to be pulled through to the exit location. The drilled path can be directed under streets, sidewalks, driveways, pipes, and other utilities.
