Bore under any paved road, highway or road you cannot shut down, and open-cut only a lease road the owner lets you close and rebuild. A bore keeps the road open and avoids rebuilding the road base. We bore highways, county roads and lease roads around Midland and Big Spring with our own rigs, in dirt, rock or water table.
State highways and most county roads require a bore and a permit from the road owner; cutting the pavement is usually not allowed. Lease roads are up to the landowner or operator, and an open cut can be cheaper there if traffic can be routed around it.
Before any crossing, every line in the way gets daylit with a hydrovac so the bore path or ditch clears them. On a bore, the rig drills under the road, then pulls the pipe or casing back through. Casing is used when the road owner or the line's operator requires it.
Bores are priced by the foot, set by the ground (dirt, water table or rock) and the pipe size. Send the crossing length, pipe size and a pin and we will quote it.
