Advanced Trenchless Construction Across Roads and Highways in BC
Directional drilling offers an alternative to open-cutting and excavating across roads and highways to install conduits /ducts or culverts. This process allows for the installation of different sizes and or multiples of conduits and/or ducts to be installed with little to no effect on the road base or asphalt. Ironman Directional Drilling offers trenchless construction in BC. Our expertise centers around the strategic use of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). This eco-friendly technique ensures the seamless installation of conduits beneath highways and roads, minimizing disruption and environmental impact. As pioneers in trenchless construction, we prioritize efficiency and sustainability, setting the standard for excellence in BC's evolving infrastructure landscape.
​
The traditional method of road construction, involving open-cut excavation, and often causes significant disruptions. It requires digging up large sections of roads, leading to traffic delays, detours, and safety risks for workers and the public. Additionally, traditional construction drives up costs due to surface restoration, extended project timelines, and the potential for damaging existing infrastructure. Overall, traditional methods are more time-consuming and costly than trenchless construction in BC, which minimizes disruption and streamlines the process.
​
This advanced method of trenchless construction is particularly beneficial in urban and high-traffic areas, ensuring that projects are completed safely, on time, and within budget. For road crossings, this method ensures smoother traffic flow and less disruption to local communities, making it a preferred choice for modern infrastructure development. As pioneers in trenchless construction, we prioritize efficiency and sustainability, setting the standard for excellence in BC's evolving infrastructure landscape.
