Directional boring is a trenchless method of installing underground pipe, conduit, or cable along a prescribed bore path by using a surface-launched drilling rig, with minimal impact on the surrounding area. Directional boring is used when trenching or excavating is not practical. It is suitable for a variety of soil conditions and commercial applications including buildings, roads, and landscaping.

Pipe can be made of PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, Ductile iron, and steel. Solid rock or sedimentary material works best for pulling the material through. Cobblestone is not recommended.
