DIRECTIONAL BORING
EFFICIENT, TRENCHLESS UTILITY INSTALLATION ACROSS OHIO AND BEYOND
Directional boring (also known as horizontal directional drilling or HDD) allows for precise underground conduit installation with minimal surface disruption. At Primo Drilling, we specialize in trenchless solutions for telecom, electric, gas, water, and sewer projects—offering accuracy, safety, and efficiency that traditional trenching can’t match.
UNDERSTANDING DIRECTIONAL BORING AND ITS BENEFITS
Directional boring uses guided drilling technology to install underground pipes and cables with pinpoint accuracy—without tearing up roads, landscaping, or existing utilities. This modern method offers significant advantages over traditional excavation:
Minimal Surface Disruption – Avoids damage to roads, driveways, and property.
Precision Accuracy – Advanced locating systems ensure exact line placement.
Faster Installation – Reduces downtime for commercial and municipal projects.
Environmentally Friendly – Less soil displacement and smaller project footprint.
Whether you’re installing new utility lines or upgrading existing infrastructure, our team delivers safe, efficient results that stand the test of time.
APPLICATIONS OF DIRECTIONAL BORING
Our directional boring services support a wide range of utility sectors, including:
Telecommunications – Fiber optic, data, and communication conduits.
Electrical – Conduit installation for underground power systems.
Gas & Water Lines – Safe and efficient utility placement under roadways or developed areas.
Sewer & Drainage – Reliable casing installation for wastewater management.
We collaborate closely with general contractors, municipalities, and private clients to ensure every bore meets regulatory, safety, and performance standards.
