Need a Utility Route Under Your Driveway?
Tell Eagleway about the crossing you are planning at your home or business property. Directional boring may be suitable for installing a utility route beneath a driveway or other surface, depending on the ground, access and project requirements.
Homeowners and local business or property owners come to us with the same handful of jobs: a conduit for power or low-voltage out to a garage, barn, shop, or outbuilding; a water or irrigation line that has to reach the far side of a paved driveway or parking area; a sleeve under a walkway or landscaped area that nobody wants trenched open. Directional boring installs the route from an entry point on one side to an exit point on the other.
Whether it is the right method depends on your site. We look at the length of the crossing, the depth available, the soil and rock expected, the utilities already in the ground, and whether our equipment can physically reach the entry point. Some crossings are a straightforward fit and some are not — we will tell you which one yours looks like.
Tell Us About Your Crossing- Entry and exit excavations. Every bore needs a pit at each end. They are part of the work, not an exception to it.
- Equipment access. A rig and support truck need a way in and a working area at the entry side.
- Utility locates. Existing buried utilities are located before drilling begins.
- Defined scope. We install the underground route; connections and separate plumbing, electrical, or gas work are defined with the appropriate parties.
- Travel range. Based in Edinboro, PA — we review projects within approximately three hours of road travel. Address and scope determine fit.
Will you have to dig up my driveway?
Directional boring is designed to install a route beneath a surface rather than cutting through it, but the work still needs an entry excavation and an exit excavation at each end of the crossing. Their size and placement depend on the depth, length, and ground conditions on your property.
What equipment access do you need?
A drill rig, support truck, and fluid handling need a route onto the property and a working area at the entry point. Gates, slopes, soft ground, and overhead obstructions all affect whether a site is workable, so we review access before quoting.
Can you do the plumbing, electrical, or gas connections too?
Eagleway installs the underground route. Utility connections and any plumbing, electrical, or gas work at either end must be defined and carried out with the appropriate parties for your project. We are happy to coordinate on scope so everyone knows which portion is ours.
How far do you travel?
We are based in Edinboro, Pennsylvania and review projects within approximately three hours of road travel from that base. The property address, access, and scope determine whether a crossing is a fit.
What ground conditions matter?
Soil type, rock, existing buried utilities, water, and available depth all affect whether directional boring is suitable and how the bore is planned. Existing utilities have to be located before any work starts.
