Bailey HDD — Directional Boring and Underground UtilitiesCall

Service

Rock Boring

Salado, Belton, Georgetown, Killeen and most of the I-35 corridor sit on limestone. Plenty of boring outfits will quote your job and then find out what is underneath. This is the ground Bailey works in every week.

Rock is where boring jobs go wrong

A crew tooled for dirt hits limestone and the job stops. What follows is a change order, a schedule slip, and sometimes a different contractor mobilising to finish a hole somebody else started.

Central Texas geology is not a surprise to anyone who works here. Bailey prices rock as rock, brings the tooling for it, and finishes the bore that was quoted.

Capabilities

What rock boring covers

Hard rock tooling

Rock heads and mud motors matched to the formation instead of forced through it.

Honest pre-bid assessment

We will tell you before you award the job whether the ground is going to be a problem, and what that costs.

Rock trenching

Where a bore is not the answer, rock and dirt trenching with the right machine on it.

Rescue work

Bores that stalled in rock, picked up and completed.

What you get

Outcomes

  • Priced for the ground that is actually there
  • No mid-job change order when the rock appears
  • Tooling on the trailer before the crew mobilises

Why Bailey for this

Most outfits quote your job and find the rock afterwards. We work this ground every week, so it is priced as rock from the start and the tooling is on the trailer before the crew mobilises.

Send us the footage, the ground and the deadline. We will tell you straight whether we are the right crew for it.
