Frequently Asked Questions

What is directional drilling and when is it the best option?

Directional drilling is a trenchless method used to install underground services without opening up large sections of ground. It is best suited to sites where roads, driveways, footpaths, landscaping, or existing structures need to remain largely undisturbed. Siteworks uses this method to create accurate underground pathways for utilities with minimal surface disruption.

What underground services can be installed using directional drilling?

Directional drilling can be used to install a range of underground services, including power, gas, water, sewer, stormwater, and telecommunications lines. It is a practical option for both new infrastructure and service upgrades. The method allows pipes and cables to be installed beneath roads, buildings, paths, and other hard to access areas.

Is directional drilling suitable for busy or built up areas?

Yes, directional drilling is well suited to busy urban environments where traditional excavation would cause too much disruption. It is ideal for drilling for congested areas, including streets, commercial sites, residential neighbourhoods, and areas with existing underground services. This makes it a smart option for projects where access, safety, and public disruption need to be carefully managed.

How does directional drilling reduce surface disruption?

Directional drilling reduces surface disruption by drilling below ground rather than digging a continuous trench. This helps protect existing driveways, roads, gardens, footpaths, and paved areas. It can also reduce reinstatement work, speed up installation, and make the overall project cleaner and more efficient.

Does Siteworks provide directional drilling for residential and commercial projects?

Yes, Siteworks provides directional drilling for both residential and commercial projects. This includes utility connections for homes, subdivisions, business sites, infrastructure upgrades, and larger civil works. Whether the project needs residential directional drilling, commercial directional drilling, or urban directional drilling, our team can assess the site and recommend the right approach.
