Del City is a fully developed Oklahoma County community adjacent to Tinker Air Force Base, bordered by Midwest City to the north and east and connected to Oklahoma City via I-40 and US-62 / SE 59th Street. Unlike many Oklahoma communities that are in rapid growth phases, Del City’s utility boring market is driven primarily by aging infrastructure replacement, fiber broadband expansion, and utility upgrades in established dense residential neighborhoods.
Many water services, sewer laterals, and gas distribution lines in Del City were installed in the 1950s through 1970s. As these lines reach the end of their service life, trenchless replacement methods offer Del City homeowners and the city utility department a way to restore infrastructure without tearing up mature landscaping, intact driveways, and streets that have been in place for generations.
Tinker Air Force Base’s proximity creates both opportunity and complexity for Del City utility work. The base is one of the largest DoD installations in the country and its adjacent communities require reliable utility infrastructure. Work near Tinker requires awareness of security zone requirements, potential contractor vetting, and the specific coordination that comes with DoD-adjacent projects.
The US-62 / SE 59th Street commercial corridor is the economic spine of Del City. Utility crossings and upgrades along this corridor require ODOT permits and careful work zone management to minimize impacts on a heavily trafficked commercial street. Directional boring reduces the duration of any utility work impact on this corridor by eliminating the need for open trenches across the roadway.

What Is Horizontal Directional Drilling?
Horizontal directional drilling, commonly called HDD or directional boring, is a trenchless method for installing underground utilities without open-cut excavation. A drill rig on the surface steers a pilot bore along a predetermined path beneath the obstruction. The bore is then enlarged using a reamer, and the utility pipe or conduit is pulled back through the widened bore path.
In Del City, Oklahoma County, HDD is the preferred method wherever roads, driveways, structures, or environmentally sensitive areas must be crossed. The process preserves surface improvements, eliminates lane closures in most cases, and drastically reduces restoration costs compared to open-cut trenching.
Trinity Boring Solutions operates Ditch Witch and Vermeer HDD rigs sized from compact residential units to large-diameter production rigs capable of 600-foot bores in tough soil conditions common across Oklahoma County.
The HDD Process, Step by Step
1. Okie811 Locate
All underground utilities are located through Okie811 before any bore begins.
2. Pilot Bore
The HDD drill head is guided along the bore path using locating equipment that tracks position in real time.
3. Reaming
The pilot bore is enlarged to the required diameter. Bentonite drilling fluid is circulated to stabilize the bore and remove cuttings.
4. Pullback
HDPE pipe, PVC conduit, or steel casing is pulled back through the completed bore from the exit pit to the entry point.
5. Restoration
Entry and exit pits are backfilled and surface is restored. No trench scar, no lengthy lane closure.
Trenchless Infrastructure Replacement in Del City
For an established community like Del City, trenchless infrastructure replacement is not just a preference but often the only practical option. Mature trees with extensive root systems, landscaping that has developed over decades, concrete driveways, and established neighborhood streets cannot be easily restored if open-cut trenching is used for utility replacement.
Directional boring allows a new HDPE or PVC pipe to be installed alongside or in replacement of the old failed pipe with nothing more than a small entry and exit pit. The street surface is preserved. The landscaping survives. The tree roots are not damaged. For Del City homeowners facing water service replacement or sewer lateral failure, trenchless boring often means the difference between a one-day project and a week-long restoration nightmare.
Fiber optic expansion in Del City’s dense residential neighborhoods is an active priority for ISPs and the city. HDPE conduit boring through established neighborhoods navigates complex existing utility infrastructure. Our crews use thorough Okie811 coordination, private utility locating when appropriate, and compact boring equipment designed for tight residential sites.
Trinity Boring Solutions maintains all required Oklahoma contractor licenses, ODOT certification for road crossing work, BBB accreditation, NUCA and NASTT memberships, and full insurance coverage for work in Del City and all of Oklahoma County.

Contact us to discuss the specific requirements of your Tinker-adjacent project.
What types of utility boring do you do along the US-62 and SE 59th Street corridors in Del City? +
The US-62 / SE 59th Street corridor through Del City is the primary commercial spine of the community. Utility crossings under this corridor require ODOT permits for state highway right-of-way work. We handle water main crossings, gas distribution bores, fiber optic conduit installation, and electric conduit runs along this corridor, coordinating with ODOT and Del City utilities for all required permits.
Can you replace aging water and sewer infrastructure in Del City using trenchless methods? +
Yes. Trenchless pipe replacement is one of our core services in established communities like Del City. Methods include horizontal directional drilling to install new pipe alongside or in place of old pipe, and pipe bursting to replace deteriorated pipe in the same bore path. These methods allow aging infrastructure replacement without full street excavation and restore service faster than conventional open-cut methods.
How does boring across the Midwest City boundary work for Del City projects? +
Projects that span the Del City and Midwest City boundary require coordination with both city utility departments. Trinity Boring Solutions is experienced with multi-jurisdiction utility projects in the eastern Oklahoma City metro. We manage the permit coordination with both cities and ensure the bore path and installation meet the specifications of both jurisdictions.
Do you have experience with boring under I-40 near Del City? +
Yes. I-40 crossings in the Del City and eastern Oklahoma City area require ODOT permits and must be completed by certified contractors. Trinity Boring Solutions holds ODOT certification for road crossing work including interstate crossings. We have completed numerous I-40 crossings in the Oklahoma County area and are familiar with the permitting process and ODOT requirements for these crossings.
Can Trinity Boring Solutions bore fiber optic conduit in Del City dense residential neighborhoods? +
Yes. Fiber broadband expansion in Del City’s established residential neighborhoods is an active market.

We use compact boring equipment appropriate for tight residential sites and coordinate thoroughly with Okie811 before any bore in Del City neighborhoods.
Is a boring permit required for Del City utility work? +
Most utility boring in Del City’s public rights-of-way requires a right-of-way permit from the City of Del City. Projects on state highway right-of-way also require ODOT permits.
