Horizontal Directional Drilling
for Fiber Optic and Coax Cabling

Rum River Underground makes it possible for businesses to bring underground fiber optic and coaxial cabling into facilities that are difficult to reach using conventional trenching. Directional Drilling is a process that bores underground at a slight arc to bring cabling under existing roadways, parking lots, landscaping and other existing infrastructure. Directional boring also allows cables to be run beneath natural barriers such as waterways, wetlands, sensitive habitat environments and even under lakes.

Because we drill horizontally underground, there is no scar made on the surface that needs to be repaired. Directional drilling is often less disruptive, less costly, takes less time and provides a more stable installation of critical communications and data lines. Rum River Underground has more than 20 years experience bringing coax and fiber optic connectivity into facilities where it is impossible or undesirable to cut an open trench.

Directional drilling is a very precise process that requires a high level of expertise. In addition to knowledge of the geological challenges of boring horizontally through a wide variety of subterranean conditions including solid rock, Rum River Underground is very familiar with best practices for working with government agencies, construction companies and utilities to ensure that all existing underground infrastructure is identified and right-of-way rules and regulations are strictly followed.

Rum River Underground makes it possible for businesses to upgrade to fiber optic and coax connectivity at facilities that are in dense urban settings or have natural barriers that cannot be disturbed. We operate mostly in the upper Midwest and have performed extensive directional drilling projects through Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.

"We always choose Rum River Underground to come back verse the other bore companies because of the quality of work they do!"
