Full-service HDD contractor for Texas ground conditions.
From short service laterals to long-reach bores under rivers and levees, our crews design and execute crossings that stay on grade, on time, and on budget.
Horizontal Directional Drilling
Trenchless bores from 2" to 36" for utilities, fiber, water, sewer, and pipeline crossings under roads, rivers, and structures.
Magnetic Guidance Surveying
In-house magnetic guidance for long, deep, and utility-congested bores where walk-over tracking is not feasible.
Bore Path Design & Engineering
Engineered bore profiles, entry/exit staking, and depth-of-cover analysis to eliminate risk before the drill spins.
River, Bayou & Levee Crossings
Deep pilot bores under waterways and flood-control structures with steering package matched to soil conditions.
Utility & Conduit Installation
Installation of HDPE, steel, PVC, and bundled conduit for power, telecom, gas, and municipal distribution.
Emergency & Repair Bores
24/7 rapid-response HDD crews for line strikes, utility outages, and time-critical replacements across Texas.
In-house magnetic guidance surveying.
When walk-over locating won't cut it — deep bores, river crossings, congested downtown ROWs, or areas with heavy magnetic interference — our magnetic guidance system delivers the accuracy and confidence your project requires.
Learn about magnetic guidanceAny depth, any interference
Magnetic guidance eliminates the depth and interference limits of walk-over locating — ideal for bores under waterways or in urban ROWs.
Real-time steering
Continuous pitch, roll, and azimuth telemetry keeps the pilot head locked to the engineered bore path.
Reduced strike risk
Independent magnetic reference — no dependence on grid power, traffic, or overhead noise sources.
A repeatable, low-risk workflow — every bore.
Predictable outcomes come from a disciplined process. Every project follows the same five-step protocol so you know what to expect from kickoff to closeout.
- 01
Site Walk & Bore Design
We visit the site, review utility locates and geotech, then engineer the bore path, entry/exit angles, and product pull plan.
- 02
Mobilization & Setup
Rigs, mud systems, tooling, and steering packages matched to soil conditions and staged for a clean, contained work area.
- 03
Pilot Bore & Steering
Walk-over or magnetic guidance keeps the pilot head on grade. As-drilled logs are recorded rod by rod.
- 04
Reaming & Product Pullback
Multi-pass reaming to design diameter followed by pullback of HDPE, steel, or bundled conduit with tension monitoring.
- 05
Restoration & As-Builts
Fluid recovery, site cleanup, and delivery of GPS-tagged as-built drawings for your records and locate database.
Trusted by contractors, utilities, and municipalities across Texas.
Whether you're a general contractor coordinating a wet utility package or a municipality replacing aging infrastructure, our crews plug in cleanly with your team.
