Our Trenchless Installation Methods
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
HDD is a core method in our trenchless portfolio, ideal for installing pipelines under sensitive or obstructed terrain. When getting into larger diameter and longer directional drills, we partner with some of the best subcontractors in the industry to ensure a quality product.
Used for long crossings under rivers, highways, and congested areas
Supports steel and HDPE pipelines for gas distribution and product transport
Real-time tracking and steering systems ensure accuracy and minimal deviation
Minimally invasive with a smaller environmental footprint
Auger Boring
A time-tested trenchless method, auger boring allows us to install steel casing or pipe under roads and railways with minimal surface disruption.
Ideal for straight-line bores under shallow-depth crossings
Often used for casing installation ahead of gas or utility line placement
Can accommodate various diameters and soil conditions
No fluid pressure or slurry required—making it ideal for dry environments
Our team is experienced in both installing and removing casing pipes for utility protection and future upgrades.
Steel casing pipes are installed as protective sleeves for product and natural gas pipelines
Hydraulic jacking and auger methods used depending on soil and project requirements
Removal (extraction) services available for outdated or temporary casing installations
