In the past, the only way to establish a new utility line was through expensive and damaging open-cut trenching. Why Choose a Directional Drilling Company?ĭirectional Drilling is a Trenchless Method For Establishing New Utility Lines
#Directional drilling costs per foot install
When Pennsylvania business, residential and municipal contractors need to extend existing utilities, water, or install conduits through heavily congested areas, Directional Drilling (also referred to at times as, directional boring, directional drilling, horizontal directional drilling and HDD) allows underground line connections to be established without compromising landmarks, disrupting vehicle and pedestrian traffic or damaging the environment all while requiring virtually no post installation surface restoration. This form of trenchless pipe drilling is often better for the environment and can save property owners’ time and money by reducing the disruption costs often associated with open cut landscape, concrete and asphalt trenching.
To successfully install utility pipe underground in Pennsylvania without disturbing the surface, the HDD drilling contractor creates a pilot bore along the design plan pathway then reams the pilot bore in one or more passes to a diameter suitable for the pipe product which is then pulled into the prepared bore hole in the final stage of the process. Pipe, conduit or cables can be made of materials such as PVC, polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene, ductile iron, and steel as long as it can be pulled through the drilled bore hole.
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a steerable trenchless method of installing underground pipe, conduit, or cables in a shallow arc along a prescribed bore path by using a surface-launched directional drilling rig, with minimal impact to the surrounding surface area. We use state of the art horizontal directional drilling machines and experienced drilling crews for commercial, residential and municipal underground utility pipe installation projects in Pennsylvania and beyond.
We have decades of directional drilling experience and have bored and installed utility pipelines under trees, under roads, under bridges, under railroad tracks and routed utility cables under waterways, lakes, rivers and even harbors. We provide Pennsylvania commercial, residential and municipal owners and contractors with underground utility construction services specializing in the underground directional boring of utility pipelines for electric power, solar, wind, telephone, satellite, cable, TV, Internet, wi-fi, fiber optic, security, oil, gas, petroleum, steam, sewer, drain, water and irrigation crossings.Īs an Pennsylvania expert boring contracting company, we excavate an opening beneath the ground without disturbing the surface to bore underground pipes for utility line crossings of all types of diameters and lengths both large and small.įrom electrical to fiber optic runs, oil and gas pipelines, sewer lines and water mains, our boring company team uses directional boring techniques to place HDPE, PVC and steel pipe, conduit and cables under almost any surface like concrete slabs, driveways, roadways, sidewalks and walkways in diverse terrains like dirt, clay, rock, sand and even in Hazleton - Pennsylvania’s state soil. Utility Directional Drilling provides Pennsylvania with underground utility and infrastructure construction services via three methods of service: horizontal directional drilling (HDD) more commonly called directional boring, horizontal auger boring and hand-tunneling.
