A More Efficient Way to Install Utilities

Directional Boring

In recent years directional boring has become an increasingly popular option due to the following reasons:

  • Lower cost
  • Less traffic disruption
  • Directional and curved capabilities
  • More precise utility installation
  • Quicker installation time and less labor-intensive
  • Less restoration needed after completion


Local Underground specializes in drilling for power and telecommunication cable conduits, water lines, and irrigation lines. We can accommodate the following pipes: HDPE, PVC, Conduit, Copper, and more.

Potholing or Vacuum Excavation

Local Underground performs potholing to expose underground utilities. Potholing allows us to safely complete all work and ensure the bore route for utilities being installed is done in the most efficient manner and with the least amount of impact on the existing utilities. Potholing is completed in 4 steps: Core Drill concrete (as needed), removal of soils with water and vacuum to expose utilities, measure and map utility, and finally restore to undisturbed condition.
