Directional Drilling
​
Directional Drilling is used for installing infrastructure such as telecommunications and power cable conduits, water, gas, electricity, pressure and gravity sewer.
HDD is used instead of other techniques to provide less disruption to traffic, lower cost, deeper and/or longer distances, limited access, shorter completion times, directional capabilities and less impact to the environment. RA Drilling has a Vermeer 2440, Ditchwitch AT30 and a Straightline 3660.
We are able to run two separate jobs at one time or have the two drills on the same site to provide optimum service.
Non Destructive Drilling
Hydro excavation is a mechanical method of excavation utilizing water and vacuum as the method of removal for spoil material.
Hydro excavation is a fantastic method when excavating around existing services, tree roots or where services could not be identified (inside block boundaries.)
Advantages:
Clean, safe, environmentally friendly.
The use of vacuum spoil material is contained within the tank and is removed from site and deposited at a registered waste disposal site.
