Directional Drilling & Boring Contractor

REDD Trenchless provides horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and directional boring services for underground utility installation across North Dakota. We place oil and gas pipe, power conduit, communication duct, water lines, and sewer lines — without open trenching.

What Is Directional Drilling?

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method of installing underground pipe, conduit, or cable along a prescribed bore path. A pilot hole is drilled along the planned route, then enlarged through reaming passes, and the product pipe is pulled back through the bore. HDD is used when open-cut trenching would disrupt roads, waterways, environmentally sensitive areas, or existing infrastructure.

Our Directional Drilling Expertise

Our team has numerous years of experience in directional drilling and boring services. HDD projects include drilling in all types of rock and alluvial soils — placement of oil and gas pipe installations with sizes up to 48" or as small as 2" — power and communication conduits or duct. Our strength lies in our ability to integrate and apply ongoing, high quality, state-of-the-art drilling technology.
