It’s clean, efficient, and environmentally friendly, making it the preferred solution for sensitive areas or projects where open-cut trenching isn’t feasible.

Directional Boring

Trenchless solutions. Clean installs. Built for tough crossings.

When traditional trenching isn’t an option, directional boring offers a smarter, less disruptive way to install underground utilities. At Water Management Solutions, we use horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to bore under roads, driveways, waterways, and established landscapes — without tearing up the surface.

Directional boring is ideal for water lines, electric conduit, fiber, and drainage crossings. It’s clean, efficient, and environmentally friendly, making it the preferred solution for sensitive areas or projects where open-cut trenching isn’t feasible.

What Is Directional Boring?

What Is Directional Boring?

Horizontal directional drilling

Directional boring, also known as horizontal directional drilling, is a trenchless method of installing underground pipe or conduit by drilling a curved path beneath the surface. A small entry and exit pit are all that’s needed — no open trenches, no surface damage.

Need Pipe or Fittings, Too?

Directional boring is compatible with both HDPE and PVC pipe and works in a wide range of soil conditions. Ask us what's available or request a materials-only quote.

Common Applications

We use directional boring for:

Road crossings

Install utilities under highways, driveways, and farm lanes.

River and creek crossings

Yard or livestock area preservation

Water lines, power conduit, fiber-optic cable, and drain tile connections

Why Go Trenchless?

Why Go Trenchless?

No open trench means less mess, less restoration, and no damage to roads, yards, or crops.

Preserve trees, waterways, and sensitive ground with a low-impact install method.

Directional boring often requires less labor and less site restoration compared to trenching.

A go-to solution when you need to install pipe beneath roads, buildings, or permanent structures.
