Our Equipment

Our Horizontal Directional Drills (HDD)

Directional drills like the Vermeer 7X11 are used for the underground installation of pipes, conduits, and any product that a person wants to be placed underground. Product can be placed precisely where it needs to be, at almost any desired depth.

Installing cables, pipes, or conduits utilizing Horizontal Directional Drilling allows for jobs to be completed faster while maintaining the integrity of the premises. HDD is environmentally friendly, causing little to no disturbance to ponds, sidewalks, roadways and property as a whole.
