24/7 Directional Drilling in Western Canada Including Nanaimo BC

Directional drilling is the method of digging large diameter bores for non-vertical wells. This method allows for a controlled deviation of the boring process, which is both cost effective and environment-friendly. Do you need underground utility and infrastructure installations but don’t want to disturb above-ground structures or landscaping? Ironman Directional Drilling offers 24/7 horizontal directional drilling (HDD) services in Nanaimo BC and other areas in Western Canada for homeowners, businesses and industrial clients throughout British Columbia. Our drilling services won’t affect roads, highways, parking lots, creeks and rivers, railways, golf courses, buildings, etc. We offer our directional drilling services in Cranbrook and surrounding areas too.

  • Pipes can be installed either straight or curved to steer clear of obstacles.

  • HDD is suitable for a variety of soil conditions and jobs including road, landscape and river crossings.
