Trenchless Directional Boring Services in Seattle, WA

Directional boring, also known as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), is a method that places conduits along a precise bore path to install underground pipes. HDD is often the preferred solution when traditional excavation or trenching isn’t feasible. At Full Trenchless, we specialize in professional directional boring in Seattle, WA, along with a full range of Full Trenchless technology services, ensuring exceptional results for our clients.

Benefits of Directional Boring

As underground spaces become more crowded, directional boring has emerged as the top solution for installing sewer and water lines. At Full Trenchless, directional boring is our preferred method because it offers the following advantages:



Versatile Process

HDD can be used to lay longer pipes in a deeper ground location. Compatible pipe materials that can be installed include HDPE, steel, and mechanical joint PVC, among others.



Minimal Disruption.

Everything is done below the ground without needing an access pit. There are fewer disturbances and greater efficiency involved. Directional boring can be done in urban areas where there’s a lot of traffic. Moreover, there’s little to no negative impact on the surroundings and the environment.



Low Cost

Horizontal directional drilling offers better value for money compared to similar projects such as open trenching, jack & bore, and microtunneling.



Shorter Completion Time

Our company can lay down thousands of feet in new piping in less time it takes traditional pipe-laying processes to complete. Clients can choose from pipe diameters ranging from 36 to 48 inches.

The Directional Drilling Process

Horizontal drilling will require a specialized drill rig that’s able to navigate a rod underground through extended distances. An environmentally sound drilling fluid (usually a mix of bentonite or polymer with water) accompanies the work and is continuously pumped to the drill bit or cutting head to cool the head, stabilize the borehole, lubricate the passage, and remove the cuttings.

Guidance and location are of the utmost importance when in the process of horizontal drilling. While the drill works underground, our drilling company technicians will have to know where it’s going and steer the machinery with precision and accuracy.

Benefits of Horizontal Drilling Applications

Our technicians use directional boring to install utility pipes beneath roads, railways, rivers, shore approaches, and other congested or environmentally sensitive areas. In residential properties, this method allows for water line installation without disturbing existing landscaping. Directional boring is also utilized in the oil and gas industry, enabling lateral drilling in gas- or oil-bearing rock at various angles from a vertical well. HDD can install conduits and utility pipelines efficiently, while our experienced crew navigates around obstacles such as electrical, gas, sewer, and water systems to complete each project safely and effectively.
