What We Do as Your Emergency Boring Contractor

We Step In When Your Project Hits an Underground Problem

In the underground utility industry, no project is truly predictable. A general contractor hits an undocumented line. A plumber discovers the service line has failed in a location that makes conventional access impossible. A municipality gets a call about a sinkhole forming over an aging water main. These situations require someone who can make fast, confident decisions about method, equipment and path. That is what we do.

Trinity Boring Solutions has handled emergency boring work in Oklahoma subdivisions, on state highway right-of-way, across university campuses, inside industrial facilities and in downtown commercial districts. The variety of sites we have worked on means we understand the constraints that show up on emergency jobs: traffic control requirements, utility conflicts, soil types that change bore performance, and property owner access issues.

Who We Work With on Emergency Calls

Plumbing Contractors

When a residential or commercial water service has failed in a location your equipment cannot reach, we bore a new service path so you can complete the line installation and keep the customer’s water on. We work around your schedule and coordinate with your crew on entry and exit pit locations.

Electrical Contractors

A conduit strike or failed underground section can shut down a commercial building. We bore replacement conduit paths under slabs, driveways and roads so you can pull new wire without the surface demolition that open-cut would require.

General Contractors

Utility strikes happen on construction sites. When they do, your project stops until the utility is restored. We provide the boring work needed to relocate or reroute the damaged utility so your construction schedule can resume.

Municipalities and Public Works

City crews have a lot of responsibilities and emergencies often happen when staffing is thin. We supplement municipal public works capacity when an emergency exceeds your available crew or equipment. We are familiar with the documentation and inspection requirements that public projects require.

How We Approach Emergency Boring Work

Every emergency boring job starts with assessment. Before we run a bore we need to know what other utilities are in the area, what the soil conditions look like, and what the target entry and exit points are. In a planned job this information comes from pre-bore utility locating. In an emergency we work with whatever information is available and combine it with our crew’s field experience to make a safe, accurate bore plan on short notice.

We use horizontal directional drilling equipment ranging from compact residential machines to larger commercial rigs capable of longer, deeper bores. The right machine for an emergency depends on bore length, pipe diameter, soil type and available workspace. We assess on site and bring what the job needs, not just what was easy to load on the trailer.

Frequently Asked Questions: Emergency Boring Contractor

What makes Trinity Boring Solutions a reliable emergency boring contractor?

We own our equipment outright, which means we are not dependent on rental availability or transport lead times. Our foremen have field experience across dozens of soil types, utility configurations and site conditions found across Oklahoma. When you call, we know how to assess quickly and make decisions that will hold up rather than decisions that just buy time.

How do you handle emergency jobs where utility locates have not been done?

We take emergency locating seriously. In most situations we can arrange for priority utility locates through 811 before we begin boring. For truly time-critical situations, we use our own ground-probing methods to identify potential conflicts in the immediate bore path before we run the drill. We never bore blind into an area we have not evaluated for other utilities first.

Can you work directly with a property owner or do you need a general contractor to hire you?

We work directly with property owners, plumbers, electricians, municipalities and general contractors. For a homeowner whose water service has failed, you can call us directly. For a commercial property manager with a failed underground conduit, same thing. You do not need a GC as an intermediary to access our services.

What size bore jobs can you handle on an emergency basis?

Our capacity ranges from small residential bores of 2 to 3 inch diameter conduit under a driveway, all the way up to large diameter crossings under highways and waterways. We size the machine to the job. Tell us the bore length, the product pipe diameter and the site conditions and we can tell you which rig is right for the situation.

Do you handle permit coordination for emergency boring work?

Yes. When boring in a public right-of-way requires a permit, we contact the relevant city, county or ODOT district to initiate the permit process. On emergency work, some jurisdictions allow a work order to begin immediately with the permit application filed concurrently. We are familiar with how Oklahoma municipalities handle emergency permit requests and we handle that coordination so you can focus on the rest of the job.

How do you price emergency boring work?

Emergency work is quoted based on the specific job conditions: bore length, pipe size, soil conditions, access constraints and time of day. We give you a clear quote before we start. There are no surprise charges. We do not publish rate schedules because every emergency job is different, but we are transparent about what the work will cost before mobilization.

Can you provide emergency boring services for projects outside OKC?

Yes. We service all of central Oklahoma and can mobilize to Tulsa, Stillwater, Lawton, Enid and other areas of the state for emergency work. Travel distance affects mobilization time and job cost but does not affect our willingness to take the work. Call us and we will be honest about how long it will take us to reach you.

Do you work nights and weekends for emergency boring?

Yes. Utility emergencies do not respect business hours and neither do we. Nights, weekends and holidays are all in scope for emergency response. If you call, someone answers and if the job requires same-day or overnight response, we make that happen.

What happens if the bore path hits unexpected soil conditions mid-bore?

Experienced HDD crews encounter unexpected soil conditions regularly and know how to adapt. Depending on what we encounter, we may adjust fluid pressure, change drilling fluid composition, modify the bore angle or shift to a different path. We communicate with you as the situation develops so you know what is happening and what options are available.

Can Trinity Boring Solutions serve as the boring subcontractor for a GC on an emergency project?

Absolutely. We regularly serve as a specialty boring subcontractor under a general contractor. We can provide a sub-contract agreement, certificate of insurance, and all documentation required for a GC’s project file. We are familiar with lien waiver requirements, certified payroll formats if the project is publicly funded, and the closeout documentation that project owners typically require.
