Drinkable Water Line Boring
What Is Water Line Directional Boring?
Directional boring is a trenchless method of installing water lines underground along a predetermined bore path. The directional drilling system allows for the placement of water pipe with minimal disturbance or disruption along the ground surface. With water line directional boring, obstacles like sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, roads and landscaping are easily bypassed reducing the direct and indirect costs of trenching water lines.

Water supply transmission and distribution systems distribute drinkable water underground as a water utility.
The outlook for our water systems is bleak. Consider these numbers laid out in the recent ASCE Infrastructure Report Card for drinking water and wastewater pipes. They are staggering. There are an estimated 240,000 water main breaks per year in the United States, according to the report.
Assuming every pipe would need to be replaced, the cost over the coming decades could reach more than $1 trillion, according to the American Water Works Association (AWWA).
Our auger and directional boring teams have directional bored thousands of feet of C900 water pipe for both municipal water supply transmission and distribution systems.
