Directional Drilling

Directional Drilling Services in Portland

The best time to install an underground utility line is before the foundation has been fully laid or while the ground beneath your property is still under construction. Or, at least that used to be the case. Today, directional drilling services make it impossible to install a new pipe, cable, or conduit without disrupting the surface above. That means it’s possible to lay new utility lines beneath walkways, driveways, or even beneath entire buildings without having to dig through foundations or turn up large swaths of ground, resulting in significant repairs or remodeling.

At LOVETT, we offer directional drilling services to install new utility lines for a wide range of different applications. Whether you’re adding new electrical connectivity through a code-compliant conduit, a new water or sewer line connection, or even telecom infrastructure, our team can run the lines underground through a freshly created pathway created through this innovative technology. We’re the partner your business can count on for fast, effective, and high-quality results, standing by our work with great warranties for your peace of mind.

Make LOVETT the name you trust for utility installation! Learn more about our directional drilling services by calling (503) 444-8834 today.

How Directional Drilling Works

Directional drilling is a process that uses specialized tools and machinery to dig a channel underground without disturbing the surface above it. This makes it an ideal way to lay utility lines, especially over ground that may have already been built up or finished. For example, if your business needs to run water, sewage, electrical, and telecom infrastructure out to a new building, the last thing you want to have to do is tear apart your parking lot just to lay these lines in place. This may be possible with directional drilling. The process was originally developed by oil extraction companies who needed a way to tap into oil reserves without drilling directly into the land above. 

Depending on the nature of your project, including the size of the channel needed, the shape or angle needed to drill, and the material being drilled through, these projects can use a range of different tools and techniques. At LOVETT, we take pride in being capable of handling a wide range of different directional drilling projects. Talk to our team about your project and we’ll happily work with you to develop a plan for getting the job done right.
