Massachusetts Directional Drilling
Here at Directional Technologies, Inc, we specialize in utility directional drilling projects. We have directionally drilled thousands of pipelines for electric conduits, gas conduits, fiber optic cables, sewerage, water, and more.
As featured in:
Directional Drilling Underground Utility Services
Directional Boring Electrical and Gas Conduits
Directional Boring Electrical Conduit, also known as DBE or Directional Bore, is a drilling process for installing underground electrical conduit and gas. This process is preferable to open trenching because it prevents the disruption of traffic and eliminates the need to remove sidewalks and streets.
Directional Boring Water and Sewer Lines
Directional boring water and sewer lines is a process of underground drilling to create tunnels. It is a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to install new or replacement pipes in areas where traditional digging methods are not feasible.
Directional Boring Fiber Optics Cables
Directional Boring Fiber Optic is the process of drilling a hole in the ground and inserting a fiber cable. Directional Boring Fiber Optic has many applications, including telecommunications, transportation systems, and more.
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
Directional Drilling for Utilities allows for conduit placements underneath obstacles (like streets, rivers, buildings) and provides maximum protection while, at the same time, minimizing maintenance costs.
Utility companies who use it to install power cables with minimal disruption of other utilities on their property; environmental remediation industry that needs to clean up toxic chemicals from contaminated sites by excavating them out safely below surface level using HDDs.
Our Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Process
Stage 1: Drilling the Pilot Hole
Stage 2: Pre-Reaming the horizontal boring
Stage 3: Pull Operations
Stage 4: Installation of Conduits

We Solve Complex Infrastructure Projects
“Regardless of the extent of work, your project may be of a very critical and technical nature and require what Directional Technologies Inc alone can bring to the table”.
Case Study: Solving a City’s Water Main Problems
The Problem
Gloucester, MA, a city split in half by the Annisquam River, has had a notorious history of water main breaks, leaving parts of the city without H20 for an extended period of time.
The Solution
Directional Technologies to installed a 1,200-foot PVC (polyvinyl chloride) water main pipe solving their water worries once and for all. While this $2.5 million project initially may have left some tax payers wary, the new water main has already proved to not only be money well spent, but a great solution to their problems.
It’s a very cutting edge approach, it’s a very progressive way to get utilities into the ground.” …The new, giant water main will serve some 70 percent of Gloucester’s residents – including everyone on the city’s island side of the river, and should continue to carry water from Bond Hill to residents for at least 200 years. That’s right, 200 years – nearly double the age of many of the pipes city crews have had to service in the last decade.”
