Done safe

811 before we dig, traffic control, and a JHA for the method.

What we do

Trenchless utility installation

Six methods, 4 inches to 84 inches. Send the plan sheet.

Horizontal Directional Drilling

Quoted per job

Steerable pilot bore, reaming, and pullback for long crossings beneath roads, waterways, and existing utilities.

Auger Boring

4" – 36"

Straight-line crossings under roadways, driveways, and rail where open cut is not permitted. Carrier pipe installed directly.

Bore & Case

4" – 42"

Bore, weld, and install steel casing in one scope. Standard .250 wall, repriced for heavier wall on spec.

Dry Boring

12" – 36"

Boring without drilling fluid where mud returns are not wanted — tight corridors and sensitive surfaces.

Tunneling

36" – 84"

Hand and machine tunneling for the sizes a boring machine will not carry — RCP or heavy-wall steel casing.

Concrete Box Tunneling

3′×3′ – 9′×6′

Cast box sections tunneled in place for drainage structures and large-span crossings. Larger sections priced on request.

Utilities we bore for

  • Water
  • Sanitary Sewer
  • Storm Drain
  • Force Main
  • Gas Distribution
  • Electric
  • Telecom Conduit

Site work we self-perform

  • Potholing and vacuum excavation to expose existing utilities
  • Bore and receiving pits, shoring, and trench boxes
  • On-site mud mixing and recycling
  • Open cut where it is the better answer than a bore
  • Company-owned hauling — tractors and lowboys for our own mobilization

The fleet

Vermeer drills from the D7x11 to the D100x140 — 7,000 to 100,000 lb of pullback — plus auger boring machines, mud systems, vac trucks, shoring, and the tractors that haul them.
