Horizontal Directional Drilling Contractor for Tough Utility Jobs
Crigger Power built its name on directional drilling. What began as a small drop-bury crew is now a trusted partner for horizontal directional drilling (HDD) nationwide. We drill under highways, rivers, and live infrastructure to install conduit, fiber, and pipe without open trenching or surface delays.
Our team handles rock, clay, concrete, and unstable soil with field-tested accuracy. We don’t wait on subcontractors and don’t stall out. Every bore is handled by our own crew, using our own drills, and we have full control over the schedule.
From long-haul HDD utility installation to tight-clearance bores beneath active roadways, we adapt to the terrain, hit our marks, and keep the job moving.

Horizontal Directional Drilling FAQs
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method used to install underground utilities like conduit, pipe, or fiber without digging open trenches. Instead of cutting up roads or landscapes, we guide a drill head along a pre-planned path underground, then pull the utility line back through the borehole. This process keeps surface disruption low and precision high, even under highways, rail lines, and waterways.
Crigger Power uses HDD to install power lines, telecom conduit, sewer mains, and water systems in locations where traditional trenching would slow the job down or make it impossible. It’s a clean, fast, and proven method for building utility infrastructure in busy or hard-to-access zones.
Horizontal directional drilling is the right choice when your project crosses active roads, environmentally sensitive areas, or surfaces you can’t easily dig through. If your site includes pavement, waterways, tight urban corridors, or existing infrastructure that can’t be disturbed, trenchless drilling is the best path forward.
By working underground, Crigger Power can install pipe, conduit, or fiber without shutting down traffic or tearing up landscaping. We’ve completed HDD work beneath highways, runways, railroads, and long-distance easements—saving our clients time, money, and headaches compared to traditional excavation.
HDD can support almost any underground utility line, including power, water, telecom, gas, and sewer systems. It’s especially valuable on sites where the bore path needs to follow a controlled curve or hit a precise target with minimal surface access.
- Directional Drilling for Fiber: Keeps broadband and telecom projects fast and intact
- HDD for Conduit Installation: Supports multi-system runs across long distances
- Directional Boring Under Roads: Keeps traffic flowing while infrastructure is installed
- Directional Utility Drilling: Enables trenchless installation of power, water, and sewer services
Crigger Power handles all types of HDD utility work—whether it’s a straight pull through open land or a precision bore under a four-lane intersection.
We use rock drilling HDD equipment to cut through hard-packed clay, cobble, and bedrock. We assess the ground conditions in advance and bring the right tools and drill heads to complete the job without blowing the timeline or compromising bore accuracy.
Rock boring with HDD is common on industrial, military, and utility corridor projects where soil conditions are inconsistent or aggressive. Many contractors won’t touch these jobs, but we’ve made them a key part of what we do. Our ability to drill in tough conditions is one of the reasons we’re trusted to work where others fall short.
The reach of a horizontal directional drilling (HDD) project depends on factors like soil conditions, pipe diameter, terrain, and available equipment. In most cases, Crigger Power can complete HDD installations stretching hundreds of feet—and in the right conditions, we can push those distances to over 1,000 feet without disrupting the surface.
Because we use our own crews and gear, we maintain full control over every bore path. That means longer, cleaner runs with fewer setbacks or delays. Whether you’re running conduit beneath a roadway or installing water lines across open ground, we tailor each bore for accuracy, stability, and long-term performance.
