Why Use a Directional Drill?

Directional Drilling provides a solution for projects that require precise underground installations with minimal surface disruption. It is ideal when:

  • Avoiding Surface Disruption: Unlike traditional trenching, directional drilling maintains landscaping, roads, and existing structures by drilling beneath them, preserving the surface above.
  • Accessing Tight Spaces: Compact directional drills, such as Vermeer D8x12 Directional Drill, are effective in limited-access areas where larger rigs cannot operate. This is ideal for residential and light commercial projects.
  • Meeting Environmental Regulations: With minimal excavation and a reduced footprint, directional drilling is often more environmentally friendly, helping meet regulatory standards while protecting natural surroundings.
  • Long-Distance Installations: Directional drilling is ideal for extending pipes or cables over long distances with minimal impact and is effective for projects requiring lengths over 1,000 feet.

We have done drill jobs over 1000′ where the pipe required is 6″ or less. We can drill holes up to 10″.
