Our most asked questions

Still have questions? Reach out, we’ll get you a clear answer fast.

What is horizontal directional drilling (HDD)?

HDD is a trenchless drilling method that installs conduit under roads, driveways, sidewalks, and other obstacles with minimal surface disruption.

What types of projects do you handle?

We support fiber and utility work including crossings, long-shot bores, tight-access easements, conduit installs, and closeout/restoration coordination.

Do you handle road and driveway crossings?

Yes. Crossings are a core part of our work, including paved roads, sidewalks, and driveways, with controlled depth and alignment.

How do you prevent utility strikes?

We follow strict locate verification and daylighting processes, coordinate potholing/vac when needed, and drill only after the route is confirmed.

Do you provide potholing/daylighting?

We coordinate vacuum excavation and daylighting so utilities can be verified before drilling, especially in congested corridors and crossings.

Do you install conduit and innerduct?

Yes. We install conduit/duct (single or multi-duct) and can support route organization, pulling coordination, and tie-ins as scope requires.

How do you handle restoration after drilling?

We restore disturbed areas cleanly and provide photo documentation for closeout. Restoration scope depends on the surface and project requirements.

Can you work in public right-of-way (ROW)?

Yes. We coordinate ROW requirements, traffic control/TMP needs, and support permit/inspection readiness based on the project.

What information do you need to quote a job?

Route prints/maps, location, bore counts and lengths, surface types, schedule window, and any permit/ROW or traffic control requirements.

How fast can you mobilize?

It depends on schedule and permitting, but we prioritize clear communication and provide a realistic start date and production plan up front.
