Whether you need to install, replace, or repair underground utilities, we have the Horizontal Directional Drilling solution for you.

Bay Area Horizontal Boring & Directional Drilling Services

Less surface disruption – Most work is underground, minimizing landscape damage

• Lower community impact – Avoiding road closures and congestion in developed areas

• Faster project completion – HDD is more efficient than extensive trenching

• Improved safety – Trenchless installation is safer than open excavations

• Increased depth – HDD can install utilities deeper than possible with trenching

• Greater flexibility – Curve boreholes to navigate obstacles

• Lower environmental impact – Minimizes damage to protected ecosystems

• Cost savings – Lower restoration and labor costs compared to trenching

APEX is an experts in directional drilling trenchless
technology for Essential Utility Infrastructure Construction.

Each drilling project is meticulously planned to ensure success by APEX Directional Drilling, a pioneer among Bay Area Silicon Valley horizontal directional drilling businesses. One of the most important steps in our quality control procedure is the pre bore profile and post bore profile.

Our project managers take into account every aspect of your project, including any no-drill zones, geotechnical data, subterranean utilities, and other site restrictions. We develop a thorough pre-bore profile once all the data from the initial drilling has been acquired. Your pre-bore profile is the road map that takes all of your project's practical constraints, environmental issues, and safety considerations into account.

An environmentally friendly technique called horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is used to install pipeline networks underground without causing any damage to obstructions like watercourses, river valleys, swamps, erosive furrows, paved roads or highways, rail tracks, hills, or structures. The installation of common products, oil and gas pipelines, multi-duct casings, and electrical and fiber optic communication lines are its main uses.

Advantages Of This Method

• Reduces visual impact

• Protects wildlife and breeding stock

• Assists passage of fish and protects aquatic plants

• Decreases water clouding

• Reduces remediation costs

• Bypasses underground networks and obstacles

• Ensures continuity of land and river traffic

• Protects plant life cover

• Attenuates adverse effects of construction process

• Minimizes slope and coastline disturbance

• Optimizes hygiene and safety at work

• Reduces operational costs

• Guarantees long term integrity of installed network

• Cost effective alternative

• Installs underground urban networks without the need of open cut trenches

Taking the time to construct a proper and detailed pre-bore profile may save you time, energy, and money later on. Your well-planned bore profile is an important step in the success of your horizontal directional drilling project.

The post-bore profile: as-built drawings that hit the mark

Upon completion of the drilling, our technical design team provides you with a rod-by-rod chart of the bore profile for the city public work dept., PG&E and others who require records.

We track all discrepancies or changes to the project in our final drawings. As part of our QC process, we then send these finalized drawings back to our clients. The similarity between our pre-bore profile and our final as-built profile is an indicator of our expertise.

Apex has a fully integrated
eceiver that provides positioning information directly to
the walk over walkover locating system. iGPS is
purpose-built for HDD field applications where above-ground
location data must be seamlessly integrated with underground
locating data.

Capturing an accurate representation of the bore location is a
requirement for public utilities and private companies installing
underground assets. The iGPS module powers up immediately
upon attachment to the Falcon F5 receiver and adds GNSS data
to every logged depth reading. The data is viewable in table
format and can be exported as a KML file for overlay in Google
Earth.
