Alabama Boring Service & Utility Construction That Gets the Job Done
Alabama isn’t known for taking it easy—and neither are we. Crigger Power brings decades of real-world boring service experience to the job sites that need it most. From military installations and rural energy builds to highway crossings and irrigation lines, we’ve put our drills to work across every type of terrain Alabama throws at us. We know the red clay, the rocky spots, and the back roads, and we come equipped to handle them all.
Our crews install everything from power conduit and sewer lines to full utility trenching for oil and gas. With field-proven gear and a team that knows how to think on their feet, we’re ready for heavy drilling, quick turnarounds, and sensitive jobsites alike. No suits, no overengineering—just boring that works.
We work where the real jobs happen, not where it’s convenient. That means trenchless boring for highway and rail crossings, directional drilling through difficult terrain, and utility construction for clients who don’t have time for do-overs. Alabama’s jobs are tough. Good thing we are too.
Where We’re Boring in Alabama
Crigger Power is deep in the dirt across the Heart of Dixie. We’re not flying in—we’re already here, with boots on Alabama job sites and drilling rigs that don’t quit. From directional drilling through red clay and rocky terrain to trenchless bores under highways, farmlands, and flood zones, our crews know this ground, and we know how to work it.
Whatever the conditions, we bring the tools, the team, and the know-how to get the job done. See how we’re powering Alabama’s growth—one bore at a time.
Alabama Boring FAQs
We do, and we take it seriously. Our crews have performed utility directional drilling and underground utility work on active military bases and secure government sites throughout Alabama. These jobs demand more than just precision—they require strict adherence to protocol, clear communication with oversight personnel, and full awareness of access and safety standards.
We follow every rule, hit every checkpoint, and meet military-grade specifications without delays. Whether the project involves underground power, conduit, or storm drainage, we’re used to working under pressure, on deadline, and behind the fence line.
Alabama’s ground conditions range from soft clay to fractured limestone, so we tailor our boring approach to match the site. Here are the main trenchless methods we use across the state:
- Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD): For long, curved, or utility-heavy paths beneath roads, rivers, and urban corridors
- Jack-and-Bore: Used when casing pipes under highways or railroads with a pit-to-pit approach
- Auger Boring: Effective for straight-line bores in compacted or semi-stable soil
- Pilot Tube Systems: Used for precise alignment in smaller-diameter utility installations
We never guess or wing it. Every bore begins with a site visit and soil assessment so we can select the most efficient, least invasive method for your job.
Absolutely—and we do it every week. Red clay in Alabama is known for its density, moisture retention, and tendency to gum up unprepared rigs. That’s why we bring the right drills, the right bits, and the right operators to every site.
We’ve cut through the worst of it—wet clay, dry compaction, and layered mixes of stone and soil—and we do it without binding, blowouts, or delays. Our crews are trained to manage backpressure, clear spoil efficiently, and keep the bore path smooth and stable from entry to exit.
Yes, and we understand the responsibility that comes with it. Our trenchless methods help preserve surface conditions in ecologically or legally sensitive areas, including:
- Wetlands & Flood Zones: Where surface access is limited and environmental regulations are strict
- Military Buffer Zones: Where soil disturbance and access restrictions are enforced
- Protected Sites & Easements: Where trenching could damage land or violate use restrictions
We coordinate directly with local agencies and comply with every permit condition. The goal is to get the utilities in without disturbing what’s above them—and that’s exactly what we do.
That’s our job, not yours. If you have a site and a utility goal, we’ll take care of the boring method. Our process starts with a walkthrough, site review, and full spec review, where we assess ground conditions, access limitations, and project scope.
From there, we’ll recommend a method and explain why it’s the best fit for your site. You’ll know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how long it’ll take. We don’t leave clients guessing—we give them a plan and get to work.

Alabama’s ground doesn’t follow a single pattern—neither do we. From the red clay of Birmingham to the rocky hills around Huntsville and the flood-prone coastlines near Mobile, our crews have bored through it all. We work with general contractors, utility providers, municipalities, and private clients to deliver trenchless solutions that fit the job, the soil, and the schedule.
Whether you’re expanding infrastructure or rebuilding aging lines, Crigger Power shows up ready to work. We cut through problems, not corners—and we leave every jobsite cleaner, safer, and closer to done.
