Boring Through Columbus, One Project at a Time

You bet we do. Our trenchless boring techniques are perfectly suited for installing fiber optics and 5G infrastructure throughout Columbus, especially in built-up or traffic-heavy zones. We help telecom providers and developers extend networks efficiently, whether you’re upgrading a business park in Easton or wiring up smart systems near Polaris. With horizontal directional drilling (HDD), we minimize surface disruption while protecting sidewalks, landscaping, and roadways.

Trenchless methods also help futureproof your infrastructure by allowing easy upgrades and expansions without needing major surface excavation. Crigger Power’s crews are trained for fiber-blowing and broadband trenching, offering turnkey solutions from boring to cable placement.

Yes, we actually thrive in high-traffic, urban environments. Crigger Power’s equipment is compact, modern, and calibrated for tight working spaces, making it a great choice for dense areas like High Street, the Short North, or campus-adjacent blocks. We coordinate closely with city inspectors, utility locators, and traffic management teams to ensure minimal disruption to businesses and pedestrians.

Whether we’re boring for lighting, drainage, or fiber utilities, we follow a precise staging plan tailored to each unique downtown site. Our crews work fast, clean, and smart so your project moves forward without grinding the neighborhood to a halt.

Directional drilling is not only reliable in Columbus’s floodplain zones, it’s often the best solution. We tailor our bore paths to avoid water tables and unstable soil layers, using real-time tracking to ensure precision under creeks, wetlands, and environmentally sensitive areas. For areas near the Scioto and Olentangy, we often recommend protective casings or elevation modeling during the planning stage.

Our team uses various methods, including GPRS systems, to evaluate conditions before drilling begins. That way, we minimize risk while delivering solid, long-lasting infrastructure, whether it’s fiber, gas, or stormwater pipes, without disturbing delicate riverbank terrain.

Yes, we’ve installed underground utilities for a wide range of large-scale commercial and industrial projects across Central Ohio. From a tech campus going up in New Albany to a distribution hub near Rickenbacker or an industrial park in Groveport, Crigger Power delivers boring services that match the scale and speed of modern development. We work alongside your engineers and GCs to make sure that fiber, electrical, drainage, and gas lines are placed exactly where you need them.

With our directional and auger boring equipment, we handle long runs, deep crossings, and high-volume utility packages. We understand that reliability and speed matter on sites with tight construction windows and we’re built to deliver on both.

To give you a fast and accurate quote, we’ll need a few key details. Site address, utility type (water, fiber, gas, etc.), bore length and depth, and any known subsurface conditions (rock, clay, water table proximity) help us scope the project properly. It’s also useful to know if we’ll be boring under roads, sidewalks, or protected areas, as that can affect permitting and equipment needs.

If you have engineering drawings or a site map, send those along as they can speed up the process. And don’t worry if you don’t have everything; we’ll walk you through the rest and offer a site visit if needed. We make quoting boring work in Columbus easy and transparent from the jump.
