DIRECTIONAL DRILLING

Trenchless Utility Installation with Precision and Minimal Disruption

Some projects require more than traditional excavation. North Star Contracting’s directional drilling services provide a trenchless solution for installing underground utilities with minimal disruption to roads, infrastructure, landscapes, and surrounding properties.

As part of our shallow utilities offering, our experienced crews support utility installations for municipal, residential, commercial, and industrial projects. We work with major utility and telecom providers and are approved for City of Calgary 4-party URD Developer Construct projects, Fortis CIDPG systems, and City of Calgary street lighting construction.

Using modern trenchless technology, we complete precise underground installations that help reduce restoration requirements, maintain traffic and site access, and keep projects moving safely and efficiently.
