Horizontal Drilling — Drilling, exacavation and earthworks in Kiama, NSW

Horizontal Drilling

There's no better technique on the market today than horizontal (pilot hole) directional drilling for safely boring underground across a huge area. Using a Vermeer D24x40 directional drill and other advanced technology, our team can bore holes to precise customer requirements with minimal site disruption.


The process involves sending a surface-launched steerable drill stem along a designated route, creating entry and exit points that can be a significant distance apart. Reaming can also increase the bore diameter up to 800mm or to the client's desired radius. Click here for more information about the pilot hole drilling method.


Directional drilling has a number of benefits over traditional trenching, including:

  • Less disruptions to the wider area, such as road closures
  • Minimal impact to the area around entry & exit points
  • Faster & more efficient than trenching
  • Doesn't disturb trees & vegetation along the route
  • Ideal for confined or difficult to access sites
  • Works in most soil conditions, including rock

Pipe Laying

Bedrock Drilling can help you install any kind of pipeline or cable under a variety of landforms, including rivers, roads, rock, concrete, waterways, and all infrastructure.


After directional drilling has begun, pipe installation can easily be accomplished by attaching the prefabricated pipeline to the reaming assembly at the exit point. As the drill is pulled back toward the machinery, the pipe is threaded through the hole with complete accuracy.


This method can be used to install underground pipe, conduit, or cables of significant length in a fraction of the time required to trench the entire area. Our fleet includes several pipe trailers, which minimise tension and prevent damage to the pipe as it is being installed.
