Rhode Island Directional Drilling

Rhode Island Directional Drilling

Here at Directional Technologies, Inc, we specialize in utility directional drilling projects. We have directionally drilled thousands of pipelines for electric conduits, gas conduits, fiber optic cables, sewerage, water, and more.

As Featured In

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

Directional Drilling for Utilities allows for conduit placements underneath obstacles (like streets, rivers, buildings) and provides maximum protection while, at the same time, minimizing maintenance costs.

Utility companies who use it to install power cables with minimal disruption of other utilities on their property; environmental remediation industry that needs to clean up toxic chemicals from contaminated sites by excavating them out safely below surface level using HDDs.

Directional Drilling Underground Utility Services

Directional Boring Electrical and Gas Conduits

Directional Boring Electrical Conduit, also known as DBE or Directional Bore, is a drilling process for installing underground electrical conduit and gas. This process is preferable to open trenching because it prevents the disruption of traffic and eliminates the need to remove sidewalks and streets.

Directional Boring Water and Sewer Lines

Directional boring water and sewer lines is a process of underground drilling to create tunnels. It is a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to install new or replacement pipes in areas where traditional digging methods are not feasible.

Directional Boring Fiber Optics Cables

Directional Boring Fiber Optic is the process of drilling a hole in the ground and inserting a fiber cable. Directional Boring Fiber Optic has many applications, including telecommunications, transportation systems, and more.

Case Study: Solving a City’s Water Main Problems

The Problem

Gloucester, MA, a city split in half by the Annisquam River, has had a notorious history of water main breaks, leaving parts of the city without H20 for an extended period of time.

The Solution

Directional Technologies to installed a 1,200-foot PVC (polyvinyl chloride) water main pipe solving their water worries once and for all. While this $2.5 million project initially may have left some tax payers wary, the new water main has already proved to not only be money well spent, but a great solution to their problems.

It’s a very cutting edge approach, it’s a very progressive way to get utilities into the ground.” …The new, giant water main will serve some 70 percent of Gloucester’s residents – including everyone on the city’s island side of the river, and should continue to carry water from Bond Hill to residents for at least 200 years. That’s right, 200 years – nearly double the age of many of the pipes city crews have had to service in the last decade.”
