Our Equipment

Our Horizontal Directional Drills (HDD)

Directional drills like the Vermeer 7X11 are used for underground installation of pipes, conduit, and any product that a person wants to be placed underground. Product can be placed precisely where it needs to be at almost any desired depth.

Installing cables, pipes, or conduit/ducts utilizing Horizontal Directional Drilling allows for jobs to be completed faster, while maintaining the integrity of the premises. HDD is environmentally friendly, causing little to no disturbance to ponds, sidewalks, roadways and property as a whole.

DigiTrak F2 Locating Equipment

This equipment is used to help locate underground pipes, conduit or anything that may be buried at a work site that our technicians are not aware of. The rods of the equipment are attached behind the drilling bit on the machines so that there is always knowledge of where the machine is actually drilling. The gauge is actually attached to the drilling rig to also help track where the bit is at all times

DigiTrak F5 Locating Equipment

The DigiTrak F5 has a 5 frequency capability to overcome passive and active interference. Two of the transmitters are dual frequency, allowing the drill operator to switch frequencies while the drill is still in the ground.

The Ditch Witch 255 SX Vibratory Plow and Boring Machine/The Ditch Witch Zahn Vibratory Plow with Boring attachment

The ditch witch equipment we use have the capability of plowing lines up to 12” in depth, as well as placement of PVC, underground lines, and conduit beneath obstacles such as sidewalks or driveways without disrupting the terrain. These machines are great for residential communication lines, construction maintenance in the telecommunication industry, as well as irrigation and many other services.

The Vermeer LM42
