Directional Drilling – Trenchless Utility Installation
At MCM Plumbing, we provide expert directional drilling services for underground utility installations that require precision, efficiency, and minimal surface disruption. This advanced trenchless technique allows us to install pipelines and conduit beneath roads, driveways, landscaping, or structures—without excavation or open trenching.
What Is Directional Drilling?
Directional drilling—also known as horizontal directional drilling (HDD)—uses a steerable drill head to create a guided underground path. It’s ideal for navigating beneath obstacles where conventional trenching would be too invasive or impractical. We use this method to safely install pipe and conduit across long distances or in tight-access areas.
Benefits of Directional Drilling
- Minimal surface impact – No tearing up roads, driveways, or landscaping
- Precision installation – Steerable heads allow accurate placement under sensitive areas
- Cost-effective – Eliminates expensive surface restoration costs
- Efficient – Reduces jobsite downtime and installation timelines
- Ideal for long runs – Great for utility-scale and commercial projects
Where Directional Drilling Is Used
- Water service and main line installations
- Sewer force mains and stormwater drainage lines
- Electric, gas, telecom, and fiber conduit
- Crossings beneath roads, railways, parking lots, and foundations
