Our Directional Drilling Process
Site Review & Bore Planning
We review the site, proposed service route, access points, ground conditions and project requirements to plan a suitable drilling approach.
Service Locating & Utility Verification
Existing underground services are identified using available plans, locating methods and potholing where required before drilling begins.
Pilot Bore & Directional Drilling
A controlled pilot bore is drilled along the planned route, allowing underground installation to be completed with minimal surface disturbance.
Pullback, Installation & Site Completion
The pipe or conduit is pulled into place, access points are completed and the site is left ready for the next stage of works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Directional drilling, also known as horizontal directional drilling or HDD, is a trenchless method used to install underground pipes, conduits and utilities without digging a continuous open trench. It is commonly used beneath roads, footpaths, driveways, landscaped areas and built-up sites.
Directional drilling is often better when open trenching would cause too much disruption, reinstatement cost or access difficulty. It is useful for crossings under roads, paths, rail corridors, driveways, gardens, public areas and locations where maintaining surface access is important.
Directional drilling can be used to install conduits and pipes for utilities such as power, telecommunications, water and other underground infrastructure. The suitability depends on the bore length, ground conditions, service type, required diameter and site access.
Yes, service locating and potholing are strongly recommended before directional drilling begins. This helps identify existing underground utilities and reduce the risk of striking live services during drilling or excavation works.
Directional drilling cost depends on bore length, ground conditions, service type, pipe or conduit size, site access, locating requirements and project complexity. For an accurate quote, provide the site location, proposed route, plans if available and the type of service being installed.
