Looking into directional boring you may wonder if it is the right thing for you. Traditional trench methods can be slow and messy looking, so you may wonder if directional boring is deserving of the hype. Here are 4 reasons why directional boring is becoming so popular, and how it will make your project better.
- Improved Safety: Less open pits means less safety hazards on your site. With transitional open-trench methods you will have an open, long pit spanning across the site which can lead to a lot of hazard. Directional boring will only have a few inserts holes, meaning less hazards.
- Durability: The holes created will have less damage done to the ground above them, which means that less damage can be done by objects moving above. Getting run over less by work trucks or anything else can lower the lifespan of equipment being buried, unless they were never given the opportunity to be damaged with open-trench methods.
- Cost: digging a very long trench can be incredibly expensive. Sometimes the trench needs to go through sidewalks or streets, which can create massive costs and delays. With directional boring you won’t need to spend the time, money, or licensure to destroy a long path through anything along the way.
- Flexibility: As mentioned above, directional boring is able to avoid many of the delays and costs involved with trenches. This means that directional boring can be much more flexible in its date and location.
While there are many advantages to directional boring, these 4 are essential. If you are every looking to drill horizontal holes underground for construction, underground boring is the way to go.
