[pdf] Directional boring costs $10 to $30 per linear foot or $1,000 to $9,000 total on average. Underground directional boring or horizontal directional drilling prices depend on the location and ground conditions.
[pdf] Directional drilling (or slant drilling) is the practice of drilling non-vertical . It can be broken down into four main groups: directional drilling, utility installation directional drilling, (horizontal directional drilling - HDD), and surface in seam (SIS), which horizontally intersects a vertical bore target to extract . Horizontal directional drilling bores underneath obstacles with a guided bit. The operator steers the bore head utilizing an angled pipe, pressurized fluids, and a steering tool that provides depth and positioning feedback.
