Horizontal Directional Boring

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), or directional drilling, is a process that has many benefits when compared to other conventional methods. Environmental impact is minimized because directional drilling can take place without the excavation of a launching pit. Directional drilling is also useful when faced with restrained working conditions where a bore pit would be unfavorable.

Auger Boring

Auger boring is a technique used extensively for trenchless installation. The concept consists of jacking the casing through the ground while a cutting head and flighted auger assembly remove the spoils from the face. The spoils are carried back through the casing to the spoils ejector located on the boring machine.

Hydro Excavating

Hydro excavation is the process of removing or moving soil with pressurized water. An air conveyance or vacuum is then used to transfer the soil or debris to a debris tank. This allows for a non-destructive and more accurate way to excavate soil and locate underground utilities.
