Underground Boring Services for Reliable Power Infrastructure
Today’s power systems are a complex web of connections, and Crigger Power is right there in the mix, creating the pathways that keep electricity moving and modern communities powered. Instead of just meeting the basics, we anticipate challenges, adjust quickly, and deliver precision results that keep everything on track.
From high-voltage lines to detailed substation setups, we handle the underground work that makes for stable and efficient power. Navigating highways, rivers, and busy urban spaces is all part of the job, and we bring the expertise and tools to keep energy flowing where it’s needed.
When your project requires both muscle and know-how, Crigger Power is ready to get the job done.
Auger, Drilling & Boring Services for the Electric Industry
Building modern electric infrastructure takes more than just wires and poles—it requires underground systems that are accurate, efficient, and built to last. Crigger Power delivers the boring, auger, and directional drilling services that make these systems possible, even in high-traffic zones, rocky terrain, or sites with strict tolerances.
From utility crossings under roads and rail to subgrade conduit for substations and power distribution, we provide end-to-end services that keep electricity flowing safely and reliably. With our in-house crews and specialized rigs, we drill it right the first time, so your project stays on track, on grade, and fully energized.
Boring Electrical Lines FAQs
Building modern electric infrastructure takes underground solutions that are precise, efficient, and ready for today’s power demands. Crigger Power delivers just that—trenchless boring services that keep conduit on grade, timelines tight, and surface disruption low.
Whether you’re expanding a grid, powering a new site, or upgrading existing infrastructure, we provide the underground backbone that keeps energy flowing.

Boring methods can be used to install a wide range of electrical systems, including primary and secondary power distribution, street lighting circuits, service laterals, and conduit runs for commercial and industrial facilities.
It’s an especially effective approach for running underground conduit beneath roads, parking lots, landscaped areas, or other sensitive surfaces where open trenching would be disruptive or impractical.
From residential service connections to large-scale utility infrastructure, directional boring and horizontal drilling allow contractors to place everything from low-voltage communication wiring to medium and high-voltage power systems.
This versatility makes boring a go-to solution for both new construction and infrastructure upgrades.
The depth at which electric lines are buried via boring depends on local code requirements, voltage level, soil conditions, and the type of project. Generally, utility power lines are bored at depths ranging from 24 to 48 inches for residential service, while higher-voltage transmission lines may require greater depth, sometimes up to 6 feet or more.
Depth is also influenced by safety considerations such as separation from water, gas, and telecom lines, and whether the installation crosses under roads, driveways, or rail lines. Boring provides the flexibility to precisely control depth, helping to ensure code compliance and long-term safety.
Yes, boring is a safe and widely accepted method for installing high-voltage electrical cables when executed by trained crews using the proper techniques. It reduces the risk of damaging nearby utilities and eliminates many of the hazards associated with open trenching, especially in urban or congested areas.
High-voltage cables are typically installed within protective conduit during boring operations, which provides insulation, physical protection, and easier maintenance access in the future. When paired with utility locating and precision mapping, boring delivers a secure and reliable path for even the most critical electrical infrastructure.
In short, absolutely. When installed properly, bored electrical lines can be just as durable and reliable as those installed using open trenching methods. In fact, boring often offers better protection from environmental damage, erosion, and accidental disruption because the conduit is laid with minimal surface exposure.
The reduced surface disruption also means less compaction, which helps prevent future settling or shifting that could affect the conduit over time. With proper backfill and conduit specifications, bored installations can easily meet or exceed the life expectancy of trenched systems.
Yes, boring is a great solution for running power to cell towers, data centers, and other mission-critical infrastructure. It allows you to cross beneath roads, parking lots, and other existing structures without disrupting operations or surface conditions, especially important for high-traffic or secure facilities.
Whether you’re connecting a rural broadband tower or building out service for a growing data center campus, boring delivers a fast, clean, and precise path for electric lines. It also allows you to install telecom and power in the same bore path when needed, using joint trenching strategies to save time and cost.
