What Is Directional Boring?

Also known as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), directional boring is a trenchless method used to install underground utilities such as water, sewer, gas, fiber, and electric lines without disturbing the surface above. This advanced technique minimizes environmental impact and avoids the disruption associated with traditional open trench methods.

How Directional Boring Works

The process of directional boring involves several key steps:

1. Planning - Initially, our skilled engineers develop a detailed path for the utility installation, using sophisticated mapping techniques to avoid existing underground infrastructure.
2. Drilling the Pilot Hole - A small drill rig is employed to create a pilot hole along the pre-planned route. This is done with the help of a special drill bit attached to a flexible rod, allowing for precise directional control.
3. Enlarging the Hole - Once the pilot hole is drilled, it is gradually widened to accommodate the utility pipe or conduit. This is done using back reamers which are pulled back through the pilot hole.
4. Pulling the Installation - The utility line is then pulled through the enlarged hole, completing the installation.
