At GM Contracting, we offer comprehensive directional drilling services for utility installations under roads, streams, rivers, or other sensitive areas. Our state-of-the-art directional drills and special drilling heads and stems allow us to drill under obstacles and effectively steer the drill head underground.

During the process, crews will drill, underground, from a starting point (the entry pit) to the predetermined ending point (the exit pit). This is called the pilot bore. At this point, depending on the diameter and length of the new installation, crews can attach the new pipe to the drill string and pull it back into place with minimal surface disruption! For larger installations, a series of reaming passes may be required to enlarge the borehole in order to accommodate larger diameter pipes and longer installations.

Our experienced crews use sensitive locating equipment to precisely control the path of the pipe installation while avoiding underground utilities and obstacles and eliminating surface disruption. We can drill pipes up to 48 inches in diameter and lengths up to 3,000 feet. We also use a pilot bore to ensure that the new installation is installed accurately and safely.

Our directional drilling services are different from other forms of trenchless technology because of its steering capability. We can effectively steer the drill head underground to minimize surface disruption while still installing the new pipe accurately and safely.
