Services
Horizontal Drilling
Our horizontal directional drilling services utilize 3D modeling and advanced equipment to navigate complex underground environments with precision. We deliver bore paths up to 150 meters with diameters up to 900mm, ensuring minimal surface disruption for utilities installation. Clients benefit from our mine-site compliant crews and patented fusion welding techniques for steel and HDPE pipelines.
Hydro Excavation
Non-destructive digging using high-pressure water and vacuum systems safely exposes underground utilities without damage. Our ISO-certified process removes solid and liquid waste efficiently, with 24-hour emergency response available. Clients receive accurate service locating and potholing services to prevent costly utility strikes during construction projects.
Underground Service Locating
We employ electronic locators, sonde beacons, and ground-penetrating radar to map underground utilities with 20mm accuracy. Our DBYD-certified team provides surveyed location drawings and color-coded surface markings to guide excavation. This service prevents damage to power, water, gas, and communication lines during HDD and civil works.
Rock Drilling
All-terrain rock drilling equipment tackles solid rock and cobble conditions using specialized reamers and high-torque rigs. Our crews complete bore paths through challenging geological formations while maintaining precise exit tolerances. This service supports infrastructure projects requiring stable boreholes in unstable ground conditions.
Pit and Pipe Installation
We install pits and pipes for electrical, telecommunications, water, and sewer systems using trenchless technology. Our APA-accredited team ensures compliance with DPTI standards for conduit placement and backfilling. Clients receive durable underground infrastructure solutions with minimal surface disruption and rapid project turnaround.
