Bailey HDD — Directional Boring and Underground UtilitiesCall

Service

Excavation & Hydro-Excavation

Not every job is a bore. Hydro-excavation exposes existing utilities without touching them, and conventional trenching still has its place when the ground and the run allow it.

Hitting a line costs more than every hour you saved

Locate tickets tell you roughly where something is. A backhoe bucket finds out exactly, and the finding out is the expensive part — an outage, a repair bill, a report, and on a gas line something considerably worse.

Vacuum excavation exposes the line with water and air instead of steel. The utility stays intact and the crew can see what they are working around.

What you get

Outcomes

Why Bailey for this

Excavation supports the boring work rather than being a separate business line, so there is no second contractor to schedule.
