General information and good things to know.

Let's face it - most streets are busy now a days. BMD can get utilities across a busy street without shutting the street down. We can even get multiples of different sizes of conduit across in one bore. Pictured left is 1) 4"  1) 2" and 2) 1.25" ducts successfully installed under a road in one bore. Although not visible in the picture, just 2' to the left of all those conduits is a 4" gas main that we installed. Now imagine that street is something else: it could be a river or creek, it could be a lavish garden or 100 year old apple orchard, it could be a runway at an airport, or it could be your newly paved driveway that you don't want damaged. Whatever you can imagine, we can get under it and keep it as is - the way you want it. We have different protocols for each obstacle we cross so the worst doesn't happen. Don't damage the things you appreciate above ground and let us go under them! The entire process is environmentally friendly, including the drilling fluid. Our drilling fluid mixtures come from the soil and are mixed with water, so putting them back into the soil is no problem!

The first thing we like to do at Blue Mountain Directional Drilling is help you decide if directional drilling is going to be a benefit for you - not for us. Sometimes it just makes more sense to dig in your utility and we want you to be aware of that. We never like talking ourselves out of work, but we won't just sell you our services because we love what we do! However, once you have made the decision to use BMD for directional drilling or hydro excavation this is how the process usually goes. We get our own 811 ticket number to see what other utilities are in the area. Once we know what is in the area a place for drill entry and drill exit can be determined. We mobilize our equipment and begin drilling operations. We drill under the surface operation and pull your conduit back. We contain our drilling fluid, minimize damage to our surroundings, clean up, and leave you with the conduit requested right where you requested it!

 Hydro Excavation allows for precise removal of soil, reducing the risk of damaging underground utilities, unknown objects, or tree roots. Most gas pipelines have corrosion protection called Cathodic Protection or Epoxy and require hand digging or hydro excavation when working within a certain proximity to the pipeline. We have exposed hundreds of corrosion protected pipelines using a specific method of combined low pressure and undercutting. Hydro Excavation is extremely efficient especially when compared to traditional digging methods, which in the end saves time, labor costs, and potential repair costs.  Because hydro excavation only uses water and suction it is environmentally friendly.
