also known as Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), is a trenchless construction technique used to install underground piping, conduits, and cables along a pre-determined bore path using a surface launched drilling rig. This method is considered to be low impact and is often preferred over conventional pipe installation techniques since no excavation is required. Directional boring is best suited for applications where minimum disturbance to the surrounding areas is necessary.

is one of the newest methods of trenching. The traditional method of loosening and moving soil was slow, expensive and had its own risks. With technological advancement, Hydrovacs came into existence and offer a range of characteristics and properties that ‘out-excavate’ traditional digging methods. Vacuum excavation with hydrovac units offers users a non-destructive digging technique that drastically reduces the risk of damage or injury and limits the disruption to surrounding areas.

is a method for building or maintaining underground infrastructure. It involves digging a trench in the ground that's eventually deep and long enough to install a conduit or pipe. Upon completion, the underground structure is buried and the surface restored. The cost is in many cases less for these types of installations, but the project must be a good fit and the land disturbance is much greater than directional drilling.

is the most simplistic and inexpensive way to bury wire and pipe. It is effective if there are no underground or surface obstructions as it is disruptive to the surrounding landscape. With trenching, professionals can dig trenches of a specific size and depth, allowing them to directly visualize and identify underground utilities. This accurate mapping helps prevent any accidental damages to the utilities during construction or excavation projects.
