Horizontal directional drilling methods have been used for the installation of pipelines since the mid 1940’s. Most were river crossings where the formations were soft, alluvial deposits.

Today, the enormous, rapid expansion of fiber optic cable installations has extended drilling frontiers into hard rock formations. Not to mention the fact that operations in urban areas require ever-improving instrumentation and drilling tools.

Longbore uses the latest equipment and technology developed for oil and gas drilling and adapts it for our utility projects. Our crews are highly trained specialists in all aspects of horizontal directional drilling in the most demanding applications.

Contact us with any questions regarding your utility project, we’ll be pleased to explore all your options.
