Why Directional Drilling?
Directional drilling can significantly reduce surface excavation compared with conventional open-trench construction. It is particularly useful where roads, driveways, landscaping, properties or existing infrastructure need to remain largely undisturbed.
Our team manages the drilling, pipe installation and connection works with careful consideration of existing underground services, site access and ground conditions.
From Planning to Installation
Every directional drilling project requires careful planning before work begins. We assess the proposed alignment, available working space, existing services and ground conditions to determine the most suitable drilling approach.
Depending on the project, our works may include:
Site & Service Assessment
Drill alignment and entry/exit planning
Existing service assessment
Pilot drilling
Bore enlargement
PE pipe installation
Connection to existing infrastructure
Manhole and drainage connection works
Final inspection and project completion
Built for Difficult Sites
Directional drilling is not simply about drilling a hole and installing a pipe.
The challenge is often the combination of restricted access, existing underground services, changes in ground conditions, elevation differences and limited working space.
This is where practical site experience matters.
C&B Drainage has completed directional drilling works across a range of Auckland sites, including residential areas and constrained locations where conventional excavation would require significantly more surface disturbance.
