Why Dig When You Can Bore? 

Directional boring rigs have the capability of pushing, pulling and rotating drilling rods underground with minimal disruption to landscaping, sidewalks, roads, etc. Directional boring is preferred over trenching when it comes to installing underground utilities such as water, sewer, gas, electric telephone, fiber optic etc. But its not as popular in the residential construction world, and that’s a mistake.

Underground Boring Basics: 

Directional boring, sometimes called trenchless digging, or just “horizontal boring” is accomplished by piercing the ground with a drilling bit/head at a low angleThe bit is spun and pushed through the soil. Poles are contiguously added to increase the reach. Once the desired depth has been met the drilling tip levels out to maintain a horizontal bore. When the boring reaches its destination, a pipe, line, or conduit is pulled back through the hole.
