SAVAGE GROUP, LLC

Horizontal Directional Drilling Services

From fiber optic conduits to pipeline crossings, Savage Group utilizes high-performance HDD rigs and real-time guidance systems to execute precise bore paths with minimal deviation, ensuring structural integrity and optimal placement—all while mitigating surface disruption and safeguarding critical infrastructure.

What Is Horizontal Directional Drilling?

HDD, or directional boring, is a trenchless construction technique for installing underground utilities with minimal environmental impact. Using controlled drilling and advanced tracking technology, we navigate complex subsurface conditions, enabling installations beneath roads, rivers, and developed areas with pinpoint accuracy.

Applications of HDD

Savage Group delivers HDD solutions tailored to diverse industries and project demands:
  • Utility Infrastructure: Precision installation of water, sewer, gas pipelines, and underground electrical conduits.
  • Telecommunication Networks: Reliable fiber optic conduit placement for high-speed data transmission across urban and remote locations.
  • Complex Crossings: Subsurface navigation beneath highways, railways, and waterways without disrupting surface operations.
  • Environmental Conservation: Minimized excavation footprint to preserve vegetation, soil stability, and natural ecosystems.

BENEFITS OF HDD

  • Minimal Surface Disruption: Eliminates extensive trenching, reducing environmental and infrastructural impact.
  • Cost-Efficient Execution: Lowers restoration costs by preserving roadways and landscapes.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meets environmental protection standards by reducing soil displacement and contamination risks.
  • Versatile Application: Enables complex installations in constrained or sensitive locations, including high-traffic corridors and ecologically restricted zones.

Advanced Locating & Steering Systems

Our real-time telemetry and electromagnetic tracking systems continuously monitor drill head positioning, ensuring:

  • Accurate bore trajectory and utility placement with sub-inch tolerances.
  • Safe routing around pre-existing underground infrastructure.
  • Consistent depth and alignment adherence in variable soil conditions.

Trenchless Utility Installation

We specialize in trenchless technology to eliminate the need for disruptive open-cut trenches. This approach:

  • Reduces geotechnical risks and ground settlement concerns.
  • Preserves roadways, landscapes, and existing structures.
  • Enhances project efficiency in congested or sensitive areas.

Hard Rock & Challenging Terrain Drilling

Our HDD crews are equipped for high-complexity drilling, including:

  • Precision boring through bedrock and abrasive substrates.
  • Stabilization techniques for loose, high-variability soils.
  • Engineering solutions for bore paths in geotechnically unstable regions.

Comprehensive Project Execution

From feasibility analysis to final installation, Savage Group delivers HDD projects with a focus on:

  • Site-specific design optimization for maximum efficiency.
  • Rigorous quality control and verification protocols.
  • On-time, budget-conscious execution aligned with regulatory standards.
