Directional Drilling

Ramkey has a complete team of Construction and Underground Boring technicians. We own and operate our excavating equipment which includes horizontal directional drills, excavators and plows.

Directional boring, a process of installing underground services without trenching is an efficient and professional method that is proven to be faster, more cost effective and is less disruptive to the surface. Directional boring is a welcomed technology when installing utilities such as hydro, water, gas, fibre and cable in the city, rural areas or in major infrastructure.

Benefits:

• Faster and neater, usually requiring less than half the time needed by conventional trenching method.
• Clean trenchless solution for underground installations without disturbing the above surface
• Savings in reinstatement costs and eliminating the effort to blend with surroundings.
• Less delays due to unfavorable weather conditions - no more pumping rain water out of trenches and pits!
• Ideal for sites sensitive to surface disruptions like golf courses, airport runways, busy traffic intersections.
