Directional Boring
Horizontal directional drilling puts pipe and conduit where it needs to go without trenching what is on top of it. It is what Bailey has done since 2000, and it is the reason the name is on the truck.
Open-cut is expensive long before you count the pipe
Trenching a road means traffic control, pavement repair, a longer schedule and an inspector watching every yard of it. Trenching a finished subdivision means angry homeowners and a restoration bill. Trenching a creek means a permit conversation you would rather not have.
A bore replaces all of that with two small pits and a pilot hole. The surface stays where it is, the crew is off site sooner, and the cost you were bracing for in restoration never arrives.
Capabilities
What directional boring covers
Road and highway crossings
Bores under state highways and city streets, including interstate crossings with traffic control coordinated in advance.
Creek and drainage crossings
Depth kept under the scour line so the pipe stays put when the water comes up.
Finished ground
Subdivisions, driveways, parking lots and landscaping crossed without disturbing what is on the surface.
Locating and tracking
The bore head is tracked the whole way so the pipe lands where the plan says it does, and existing utilities stay intact.
