Bringing Boring Expertise to Cincinnati and Beyond

Boring offers a trenchless solution that minimizes surface disruption, making it ideal for urban environments like Cincinnati where roadways, sidewalks, and landscaping can be costly to dig up and restore. It’s also safer and less invasive, especially in areas with high traffic or existing infrastructure. Directional boring allows us to install utilities beneath obstacles like rivers, roads, or buildings without shutting anything down.

This method also saves time and money on restoration, permits, and traffic control. For projects with tight timelines and complex logistics, boring is the efficient, low-impact alternative that keeps your jobsite clean and your schedule on track.

Cincinnati’s geology is known for its variable conditions, from dense clay to loose fill and rock. That’s why we start every project with a thorough site analysis, using tools like soil sampling and ground-penetrating radar to map out exactly what we’re dealing with. Our team has decades of experience boring through Ohio terrain, so we know how to adapt quickly to surprises below the surface.

We also keep a wide range of equipment on hand to pivot as needed, whether that be upgrading the drill head or switching techniques. Planning for the unexpected is part of the job, and it’s how we keep your project moving forward with precision and confidence.

Absolutely. Crigger Power works with general contractors, developers, utility providers, and municipal agencies across the Cincinnati area to deliver underground solutions at every scale. Whether it’s blowing fiber for a business park or upgrading sewer lines for a city expansion, we have the crews, equipment, and compliance knowledge to get it done right.

We understand that commercial jobs often have strict budgets and fast timelines, while municipal projects may require coordination with multiple stakeholders. Our team thrives in both environments and brings the same commitment to safety, speed, and precision no matter the client.

Several variables influence the final cost of a boring project, including the type of soil, length and depth of the bore, pipe material, and the presence of any existing underground utilities. Projects that involve rock drilling, high-traffic zones, or sensitive environments typically require more advanced equipment or additional safety measures, which can raise the price.

Permitting, access to the site, and any restoration work required afterward will also affect the budget. We offer transparent estimates up front and walk you through each line item, so you always know what to expect.

Protecting existing utilities is a top priority, and we take every precaution to avoid line strikes. Before any drill hits the ground, we coordinate with 811 and perform private utility locating to identify all buried assets in the bore path. We also use GPRS (Ground Penetrating Radar Systems) to scan deeper and detect unmarked or inaccurately mapped infrastructure.

Once the bore is underway, we use tracking systems and real-time monitoring to maintain accurate drill alignment. Combined with our field expertise, this technology helps us make sure we stay in safe zones and protect every connection that’s already in place.
