Precision Directional Boring specializes in Horizontal Directional Drilling. This is a trenchless method of placing utility lines without the need to disturb much of the existing surface.

At Precision Directional Boring we do it all Safe, Fast and Neat. Our team of professionals works with existing utilities and the knowledge of underground structures to place your utility needs without costly down time or major surface restoration. We have all the latest technology and state of the art equipment. Our highly trained personnel can get your job done at a competitive cost and in a timely fashion. Our services are scalable so no matter what type or size project you have, we can handle a particular component of the project or if you like, we can turnkey the entire project for you.

Precision Directional Boring offers complete turnkey underground construction solutions for its customers. Precision Directional Boring also offers additional services such as build trench/bore logs, red-lined prints and on-going infield evaluations and suggestions.

DRY & WET UTILITIES: Precision Directional Boring, Inc. provides horizontal directional drilling services to steer over, under, or around buried utilities. We can curve the bore path to go around buildings or even drill under buildings if necessary. The electronics inside our drilling tools allow our operators to locate the drillhead with precision, ensuring that utilities already in place are not damaged.

When the drill has navigated past the obstructions and exited at the desired spot, we can pull back the conduits you need. These conduits can be used for gas, electric, telecommunications, or virtually any other use. We can pull back almost any material you need.

REMEDIATION WELLS: A horizontal soil vapor extraction system has a longer interval of screen in contact with the contaminated zone and provides a greater recovery in the vertical dimension, creating a much greater zone of influence than typically can be achieved with vertical wells. Horizontally drilled extraction wells are therefore more efficient and are also less likely to short-circuit to the atmosphere than those installed by trenching, since the soil column is not disturbed during the installation process.

In a horizontal system, the line acts as both the recovery and the conveyance lines. The same pipe provides both the screened section to extract vapors and a blank section to carry the vapors back to the surface. A single pipe can thereby replace both a series of vertical wells and the near-surface trenched conveyance lines required to transport the extracted vapor to the treatment system. We have installed these horizontal soil vapor extraction systems at dozens of sites where there was no disruption of normal site activities.

ROCK DRILLING: Precision Directional Boring uses Ditchwitchs’ All Terrain technology drill & steer in the rockiest of conditions. This system can steer, drill and backream in just about any type of soil—even solid rock—up to 1600 feet.

ON-GRADE SEWER: Precision Directional Boring utilizes AT technology along with a laser guidance system to achieve on-grade pipeline installation that can accurately install to within 1% of fall.

VACUUM EXCAVATION: Vacuum excavation is the latest technology using kinetic energy in a high velocity air stream to penetrate, expand, and break up soil. When compared to water or other excavation methods, air accomplishes difficult excavating tasks with speed and efficiency. The result is increased production and reduced cost. In addition, there are added safety benefits for both the operator and utilities. Vacuum excavation is the clear choice for safe and efficient locating of underground utilities.

TRENCHING: Our experience ranges from mass excavations and deep trenching in complex urban environments to long-haul trenching projects in rural communities.
