Directional Boring
Brint Electric offers directional boring services for new underground utilities while protecting what’s above ground.
Safely Install Underground Utilities to Your Facility With Brint Electric as Your Directional Boring Company
Constructing a new building or increasing power capacity with a plant expansion often requires feeding new wiring into your facility to protect the overall electrical infrastructure. Traditional on-site excavation methods, like trenching, involve digging up the earth and manually burying the lines underground. However, these techniques are ineffective when roadways, sidewalks, railroads, and bodies of water are blocking the path. Attempting to dig through obstacles creates delays, increases costs, and can impact the day-to-day activities of the public.
Leveraging a strategy that minimally impacts above-ground affairs while installing underground becomes a top priority when these elements are involved. As a leading provider of commercial electric solutions, Brint Electric offers directional boring services that efficiently perform utility installations without disrupting the surrounding area.

Step 1: Drilling
Brint uses modern equipment that drills a pilot hole between two surface points using high-pressure water. Our drill bit equipment is capable of steering the bore path in any direction and is capable of drilling distances ranging from a few yards to several hundred.
Step 2: Enlarging
The hole drilled by our high-pressure drilling equipment is small and not large enough to fit electric wiring through. Brint’s team carefully bores the drill string back and forth to enlarge the hole to an adequate size.
Step 3: Installing
After verifying the bore hole’s size, our team safely feeds the electric wiring through the path without impacting the local environment. Once installed, our team patches up the small bits and makes sure the area remains unaffected.
