Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the increase in boring over trenching. Describes directional boring and nondirectional boring. States that "nondirectional units are the least expensive of the two and the most commonly used for smaller, uncomplicated tasks...[Nondirectional units] require entrance and exit holes to be excavated on either side of obstacles that you are boring under" but "directional boring units eliminate the need for an entrance and exit trench. The drill rod of a directional unit can enter the surface of the soil at an angle, be leveled out beneath the ground, steered in any desired direction and surfaced at the desired point." |
