Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

Our HDD services allow for the precision installation of conduit, pipe, and cable underground without the need for surface excavation. By crossing roads, rivers, and property lines trenchlessly, we eliminate restoration costs while maintaining surgical accuracy.

The Bore Process

Step-by-step underground installation, delivered with precision.

1

Scope & Site Visit

We review your site drawings, assess soil conditions, and manage all provincial utility locates to ensure a safe, predictable drill path. Every project starts with a detailed quote.

Permits & Design

Where crossings involve municipal roads, MTO highways, or railway corridors, we handle the permitting and regulatory design for the specific pipe or conduit.

Mobilise & Bore

Our crew deploys the HDD rig. We track the bore head in real-time using high-frequency sonde transmitters to maintain depth and guidance.

Cable Pull & Test

Path established. We perform cable or fibre pulls using tension-monitored equipment to prevent exceeding bend radii or pull-strength limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is directional boring (HDD)? +
Horizontal Directional Drilling installs conduit or cable underground via a curved pilot bore from entry to exit point—no trenching, minimal surface disruption.
How long does a bore take? +
Small residential crossings (under 30m): half day. Longer or complex bores (road, multi-duct): one to several days. We quote realistic timelines upfront.
Can you bore under paved roads? +
Yes. Road bores are standard work. Permits, traffic control, underground installation—surface stays intact.
What materials can be installed? +
HDPE/PVC conduit, innerduct, fibre, copper, coax, power conductors. Ask us about your specific product.
Do you handle utility locates? +
Yes. We coordinate One-Call and provincial locate services. Depth verification available when required.
How accurate is the bore path? +
Real-time sonde tracking: ±15–25cm accuracy. Gyro guidance available for critical crossings.
Where do you operate? +
Based in Ontario, mobile across Canada for larger projects. Contact us with your location.
Do we get as-built documentation? +
Yes. Every project includes bore path, depths, materials, GPS coordinates—crucial for future excavations.
