Directional Boring
for Underground Infrastructure

Kickstreet offers directional boring services for utilities, telecommunications, and other industries.

Our Directional Boring Advantages

Missile Crews

Our missile crews use compressors and missiles to complete shorter drilling shots or work where larger equipment can’t fit. They help maintain production and ensure that projects stay on track.

High-Efficiency Output

We have the capability to bore 5,000 to 15,000 feet per week, depending on the terrain. This allows us to handle both large-scale and time-sensitive projects with ease, keeping your timeline and goals on track.

End-to-End Project Support

Beyond boring, we offer complete underground installation services, including pulling fiber, installing handholes, and setting up conduits. A one-stop solution for your underground infrastructure needs.

Additional Services

· Fiber Pulling

· Handhole Installation

· Conduit Placement

Types of Terrain

Rural Landscapes

Open fields, farmland, and rural roads where the soil conditions can vary from soft loam to hard clay.

Rocky Terrain

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep can you bore?

We typically bore at depths ranging from 12 to 48 inches. However, for larger infrastructure projects, our boring depth can be adjusted based on project requirements and underground conditions.

What types of materials can you install using directional boring?

We can install a variety of underground utilities, including fiber optic and coaxial cables, water lines, gas pipelines, and electrical conduits. Our equipment is versatile, allowing us to adapt to different project needs.

How do you handle unforeseen obstacles underground?

Before starting a project, we conduct a thorough site survey, including utility mapping and soft excavation if necessary. During boring, we use tracking systems to monitor the drill path and avoid potential obstacles.

What is the typical timeline for a directional boring project?

The timeline varies based on factors such as project size, ground conditions, and the type of utility being installed. Generally, we can bore between 5,000 to 15,000 feet per week, depending on the terrain. We’ll provide a more precise timeline during the project planning phase.

Do you handle permits and regulatory compliance?

Yes, we can assist with obtaining the necessary permits and ensure that all work complies with local, state, and federal regulations.

Can you work in rocky or difficult terrain?

Yes, our equipment is designed to handle a variety of terrains, including rocky and compacted soil environments. We assess the site conditions beforehand to select the appropriate equipment and method for the job.

How do you ensure the accuracy of the bore path?

We use tracking systems to monitor the drill head’s position and direction throughout the boring process. This ensures a precise installation that avoids existing underground utilities and follows the planned path.

How do you handle damages or repairs?

If any damages occur during our operations, we act for swift repairs. Our team is trained to minimize damage during the boring process, and we conduct quality checks to ensure site restoration.
