Directional Boring

Directional boring technology affords E&J the ability to navigate a drill rod underground for extended distances at one time without disrupting the overlying property.

Drilling is assisted with a supply of water base and environmentally safe drill fluid. This technology of directional boring allows for drilling beneath rivers, streams, creeks, wetlands, existing utilities, roadways, parking areas, landscaping, retaining walls, steep embankments, and other obstacles without impacting the environment and the surrounding area. We also offer alternate methods for underground utility installations including traditional open trenching.

Locating

E&J Electric and E&J Geothermal are committed to taking all necessary precautions to identify existing underground utilities before any groundwork begins. Prior to any groundwork our team will notify Iowa One-Call to locate public utilities in the immediate vicinity. This service is offered in most cases at no cost to the land owner.

In the event the location requires further locating services to identify private utilities not covered by Iowa One-call, the land owner may request that our trained and certified team assist in locating the buried utility at our current labor rate.
