How much does a road bore cost per foot in West Texas?

Straight answers from the crews who do the work, out of Midland and Big Spring, Texas.

Quick answer · Updated November 12, 2026

Road bores in the Permian Basin usually run $50 to $200 per foot. Small pipe in dirt sits at the low end; large pipe or casing in rock sits at the high end. Hydrovac daylighting of the lines in the way, dig-outs, equipment and materials like casing are billed separately. Send the crossing length, pipe size and a pin to (940) 452-6716 for a quote.

Two things set the per-foot price: the size of the bore and the ground. Dirt drills fastest. A high water table slows the work and needs more mud handling. Rock, which is common in parts of the Permian, takes harder tooling and much longer.

Before any bore, every pipeline and cable in the path gets daylit with a hydrovac so the bore clears them. Highways and county roads also need a permit from the road owner, and some crossings require casing.

We bore highways, county roads and lease roads around Midland and Big Spring with our own rigs and crews, and quote each crossing once we know the length, pipe size and location.
