Trinity Boring Solutions operates from our facility at 9102 NW Expressway in Yukon, Oklahoma, a location that places us at the center of the state’s most active utility construction corridor. Canadian County, where Yukon sits, is one of the fastest-growing counties in Oklahoma, with new subdivision development, commercial expansion, and road improvement projects generating continuous demand for directional boring services. But TBS has never been a local-only contractor. Since our founding in 1965, our crews, rigs, and project capability have extended to every corner of Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is a large and geographically diverse state. The distance from the Texas-Oklahoma Panhandle border near Boise City to the Arkansas border near Sallisaw spans over 500 miles. The drive from Guymon in the far northwest panhandle to Idabel in McCurtain County covers over 600 miles through terrain that transitions from flat high-plains grassland to dense Ouachita Mountain forest. A contractor that claims statewide coverage must have the equipment, crews, and operational systems to actually back that claim. TBS does.
Our fleet of more than 10 horizontal directional drilling rigs spans the full range of bore diameters and job types. We bring residential-scale machines for tight neighborhood bores and large-diameter pipeline rigs for river crossings and cased highway bores under ODOT specification. We employ trained, OSHA-compliant crews with decades of combined Oklahoma field experience. We maintain working relationships with Okie811, all eight ODOT construction districts, and utility providers including ONG, OGE, PSO, and the rural electric cooperatives that serve communities outside the metro areas. That infrastructure supports statewide project execution, not just metro convenience.
The pages below describe our coverage by region across Oklahoma. Each region has its own character: different geology, different utility providers, different permit processes, different response times from our Yukon base. Understanding those regional differences is part of what makes TBS the statewide boring contractor that Oklahoma utility owners, municipalities, and general contractors rely on for reliable project execution.
Oklahoma City Metro Coverage. Home Territory for TBS.
The Oklahoma City metropolitan area is where TBS does the highest volume of its work. Our Yukon base puts us within 15 to 30 minutes of virtually every municipality in the metro, allowing rapid mobilization for both scheduled project work and emergency utility repairs. We operate continuously throughout OKC, Yukon, Edmond, Moore, Norman, Midwest City, Mustang, and the surrounding suburbs.
Oklahoma City itself is served through its Public Works department, which oversees encroachment permits for boring under city streets, state highways within city limits, and utility corridors maintained by the city. TBS has worked under OKC right-of-way permits on NW Expressway, May Avenue, Meridian Avenue, Western Avenue, Penn Avenue, and numerous other major corridors. Our familiarity with OKC permit procedures, inspection requirements, and restoration standards means faster permit approvals and fewer compliance issues on city projects.
Yukon is our home city, and we have bored more fiber conduit, gas service laterals, water service lines, and electrical conduit in Yukon than any other contractor in the area. We know the utility corridors along US-66, Garth Brooks Boulevard, Czech Hall Road, and the newer commercial development areas around SH-4 and NW 10th Street. Canadian County roads and ODOT-maintained highways through Canadian County are familiar territory for our permit staff and field crews.
Edmond has experienced rapid residential and commercial growth along the US-77 and I-35 corridors, with utility infrastructure expansion projects underway continuously. Moore and Norman in Cleveland County have active water system expansion programs, natural gas service extensions into new subdivisions, and fiber broadband rollouts that keep boring contractors busy year-round. Midwest City serves the Tinker Air Force Base community with a mix of military-adjacent and civilian utility infrastructure that requires careful coordination with base engineering staff when work is near installation property lines.
The outer suburbs of the OKC metro including Mustang, Blanchard, Newcastle, Goldsby, and Tuttle are growing rapidly, with new neighborhoods requiring utility extensions from existing mains. Guthrie in Logan County is becoming a suburban extension of the northern metro, with new development attracting ONG, OGE, and fiber service expansions. Nichols Hills, Warr Acres, Bethany, and Del City are fully built-out inner suburbs where our work involves replacement and upgrade projects in established utility corridors rather than greenfield extensions. Choctaw, Harrah, and Jones in the eastern Oklahoma County fringe are seeing new rural residential growth that requires service lateral boring under state highways and county roads.
El Reno and Piedmont serve as the western boundary of the OKC metro’s Canadian County growth zone. Chickasha in Grady County and Tuttle represent the southwestern metro edge where agricultural land is transitioning to residential development. TBS is positioned to serve every one of these communities with the same quality of work we deliver in the urban core, because our crews do not distinguish between a challenging urban bore under a busy intersection and a rural bore across a wheat field. Both jobs require precision, proper planning, and the right equipment.
Tulsa Metro Coverage. Industrial Corridors and Growing Suburbs.
Tulsa is Oklahoma’s second-largest city and the center of a metropolitan area that stretches across Tulsa, Rogers, Wagoner, Creek, and Osage counties. The Tulsa metro has a distinct industrial character shaped by petroleum refining, manufacturing, and river commerce at the Port of Catoosa, and its utility infrastructure reflects that history with dense overhead and underground utility corridors throughout the urban core and industrial zones.
Broken Arrow has grown into one of the largest cities in Oklahoma by population and is a major destination for manufacturing and technology operations attracted by its business parks and workforce. Owasso continues its rapid northward expansion from Tulsa along US-169, with new residential neighborhoods requiring gas, water, and telecom utility extensions. Bixby and Jenks south of Tulsa along the Arkansas River are among the fastest-growing communities in the metro, attracting residential development that generates consistent demand for boring services. Sand Springs and Sapulpa to the west carry industrial utility infrastructure connected to refining and chemical processing operations. Catoosa at the eastern end of the metro is home to the Port of Catoosa and McLain Rogers Park, with industrial utility demands including large-diameter process water and gas lines.
The Arkansas River through the Tulsa metro creates regular demand for river crossing bores. TBS has experience with the river’s varied geology, seasonal water levels, and regulatory requirements for utility crossings under navigable waters. We coordinate with the Army Corps of Engineers and state environmental agencies when projects require permits for work in or near the river corridor. Our fluid management practices on river crossings are designed to prevent inadvertent fluid returns to the surface or water body, maintaining environmental compliance throughout the bore operation.
Southwest Oklahoma. Lawton, Altus, Elk City, Clinton, Duncan and Chickasha.
Southwest Oklahoma is one of the most economically active regions in the state when measured by utility boring demand. Lawton, the third-largest city in Oklahoma, anchors the region as the hub of Comanche County and the host city for Fort Sill, one of the largest US Army training installations in the country. Military operations and the civilian community around Fort Sill generate consistent demand for utility boring services, from service lateral installations in on-base housing areas to commercial utility connections for businesses serving the military population.
Altus in Jackson County is an agricultural and military town anchored by Altus Air Force Base. The surrounding region has extensive rural water district infrastructure that TBS has worked on across multiple project seasons. Elk City in Beckham County sits at the heart of Oklahoma’s western oil and gas producing region, with active pipeline infrastructure connecting Anadarko Basin production to processing and distribution networks. Clinton in Custer County on I-40 is a regional service hub that has experienced commercial growth tied to interstate traffic and energy sector activity. Duncan in Stephens County is home to the Halliburton legacy and remains an active oil field services town with industrial utility infrastructure requiring regular maintenance and expansion. Chickasha in Grady County is a growing suburban area within commuting distance of OKC that is receiving new residential and commercial utility extensions.
The red clay and mixed soil conditions of southwest Oklahoma require the bore fluid formulations and tooling selections that TBS has developed through decades of work in this region. Permian red beds underlie much of the area from Chickasha west to the Texas border, and our crews know how to manage these soils through the complete bore cycle from pilot bore to final product pipe pullback. We coordinate with the rural electric cooperatives, municipal water districts, and ONG distribution operations that serve communities throughout the southwest.
Northwest Oklahoma. Enid, Woodward, Ponca City, Alva and Guymon.
Northwest Oklahoma spans a vast area of the state characterized by flat to rolling terrain, agricultural economy, and significant oil and gas infrastructure. Enid in Garfield County is the largest city in the northwest and the region’s commercial center, with a long history of grain elevator operations and more recently oil and gas service industry growth. The Great Plains Energy infrastructure around Enid includes natural gas gathering lines, liquid petroleum pipelines, and electric transmission corridors that create ongoing boring demand for pipeline integrity work and new service installations.
Woodward is the commercial hub for a broad multi-county area that includes Major, Woods, and Woodward counties. The Woodward region has historically been one of the most active areas for natural gas exploration in western Oklahoma, and the associated gathering and distribution infrastructure extends across thousands of acres of ranch and farmland. TBS performs both new installation bores for oil and gas clients and maintenance replacement bores on aging pipeline infrastructure throughout the Woodward region. Ponca City in Kay County is a Phillips 66 refinery town with substantial industrial utility requirements and a residential community that has seen ongoing infrastructure investment from the petroleum sector. Alva in Woods County is a smaller regional center that serves agricultural producers and oil field operators across the far northwest. Guymon in Texas County is the panhandle’s largest city and the center of a hog farming and wind energy economy that requires regular utility boring for service connections and infrastructure expansion.
The sandy loam and clay soils of northwest Oklahoma are generally favorable for horizontal directional drilling, with long bore runs possible in the flat terrain without significant directional steering challenges. Our longest horizontal bore runs are often in this region, where a single bore can extend several hundred feet under a rural highway right-of-way without elevation change complications. We mobilize to northwest Oklahoma projects with appropriate crew and equipment staging to minimize daily travel from Yukon while maintaining crew rest and equipment performance throughout extended project durations.
Northeast Oklahoma. Bartlesville, Claremore, Muskogee, Tahlequah, Miami and Pryor Creek.
Northeast Oklahoma is a geologically diverse region that transitions from the Cherokee Hills limestone to the Ozark Plateau and the Boston Mountain foothills. This region is among the most challenging for directional boring due to the combination of dense urban utility corridors near Tulsa and increasingly rocky subsurface conditions as you move northeast into the Ozark uplift geology. TBS crews working northeast Oklahoma projects are equipped for both soft soil and hard rock boring, and frequently transition between the two on the same project corridor.
Bartlesville in Washington County is the headquarters for Phillips 66 legacy operations and an active industrial city with major refinery and pipeline utility requirements. Washington County rural electric and gas cooperatives serve the outlying communities with distribution infrastructure that TBS has worked on throughout the county. Claremore in Rogers County is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Tulsa metro fringe, with residential expansion driving water and gas service extension projects across the US-66 and SH-88 corridors. Muskogee on the Arkansas River is home to the Port of Muskogee and has significant industrial utility infrastructure tied to river commerce and the area’s historical manufacturing base. Tahlequah is the capital of the Cherokee Nation and the largest city in the Ozark foothill area, with utility projects that include Cherokee Nation infrastructure development and the University area’s ongoing campus utility expansion. Miami in Ottawa County and Pryor Creek in Mayes County are industrial communities with strong manufacturing sectors that generate demand for large-capacity utility bores serving industrial processes.
The broadband expansion programs targeting rural northeast Oklahoma are creating significant new boring demand throughout this region. Federal infrastructure funding through programs administered by the Oklahoma Universal Service Fund and USDA rural development grants are bringing fiber to communities that previously relied on DSL or satellite service. TBS is equipped and positioned to perform the conduit boring work on these projects throughout the Cherokee, Delaware, Adair, Sequoyah, and Mayes county fiber expansion corridors.
Southeast Oklahoma. McAlester, Ada, Durant, Ardmore and Atoka.
Southeast Oklahoma encompasses the Ouachita Mountain range, the Arbuckle Mountain foothills, the Red River valley along the Texas border, and the Kiamichi River drainage basin. It is the most topographically diverse region in the state and presents the most varied boring challenges of any area TBS serves. Projects in this region require careful pre-bore geology assessment, appropriate tooling selection for hard rock conditions, and experienced crew leadership to manage the transitions between soft soil and hard formation that occur frequently in the mountain county areas.
McAlester in Pittsburg County is the regional hub for the southeastern part of the state. McAlester Army Ammunition Plant operates outside the city and is one of the largest military industrial installations in the region, generating periodic utility boring demand related to facility maintenance and expansion. The Pittsburg County area has active coal-related land that has transitioned in recent decades toward natural gas production, with associated gathering and distribution infrastructure that TBS serves. Ada in Pontotoc County is home to East Central University and a regional medical center, with municipal utility systems that have been modernized and expanded over the past decade. Durant in Bryan County is a rapidly growing community in the Red River valley, benefiting from its proximity to the DFW Metroplex as a destination for businesses and residents moving north from Texas. The Bryan County region is seeing significant residential and commercial utility expansion as Durant grows. Ardmore in Carter County is a petroleum industry city with refinery-related infrastructure and one of the strongest manufacturing bases in the southern part of the state. Atoka County hosts rural communities in the transition zone between the mountains and the plains, with rural water and broadband projects as the primary boring demand drivers.
The Red River crossings along the Oklahoma-Texas border in this region present regulatory challenges similar to Arkansas River crossings in the Tulsa area. TBS coordinates with the appropriate state and federal agencies for watercourse crossing permits and applies our established river crossing protocol to protect the river environment during bore operations.
Statewide Emergency Response. How Fast Can TBS Reach You?
Utility emergencies do not follow business hours or geography. A water main break, a damaged gas line, a fiber cut on a major telecommunications route, or a sewer collapse under an active road can require boring contractor support at any time, day or night, in any part of the state. TBS maintains 24/7 availability for emergency response with crews and rigs that can be dispatched immediately when a call comes in.
From our Yukon base, our estimated emergency response times across Oklahoma are as follows. OKC metro and Canadian County: 15 to 30 minutes under normal road conditions. Guthrie, Edmond, Norman, Moore, and surrounding metro communities: 20 to 45 minutes. Lawton: 90 to 100 minutes via I-44. Enid: approximately 90 minutes via US-412. Tulsa metro: approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours via I-44. Stillwater and Ponca City: approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours. Ardmore and Durant: approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours via I-35. McAlester: approximately 2 hours via US-270. Woodward: approximately 2.5 hours via US-270. Bartlesville: approximately 2 hours via US-75. For the most remote areas of the state including the panhandle counties and McCurtain County in the far southeast, emergency response requires pre-positioning of equipment or extended travel times that we communicate honestly with the customer when emergency calls are received.
For planned project work, these response times are less critical than crew availability and permit status. TBS schedules projects across the state continuously and can typically mobilize a crew for planned work within 24 to 72 hours for metro area projects, with additional lead time for remote locations based on current workload. Our project manager will provide a realistic mobilization timeline as part of every project quote so that customers can plan their project schedules accurately.
For any emergency boring situation in Oklahoma, call TBS directly at (405) 409-7423. We answer 24/7. Give us your location, describe the situation, and we will dispatch the appropriate crew and equipment. If our Yukon-based crew is the best option, we will roll immediately. If staging from a regional motel or equipment yard on an active multi-day project in your area gets help to you faster, we will coordinate that as well.

We mobilize to rural projects with appropriate crew and equipment staging, provide straightforward quotes that include mobilization costs, and complete rural projects on schedule. If there is a bore to be done in rural Oklahoma, TBS can do it.
What is the biggest bore you have done in Oklahoma? +
TBS has completed large-diameter bores for pipeline and casing installations across Oklahoma, including river crossings on the Arkansas River. These projects require our highest-thrust machines, extended reaming programs to open the bore to the required diameter, and specialized fluid management to handle the volumes involved. We have performed cased highway crossings under ODOT standards with large-diameter steel casing pipe for natural gas and petroleum pipeline clients. For specific bore diameter and length capabilities relevant to your project, call (405) 409-7423 and speak with our project team.
Do you handle permit coordination as part of your service? +
Yes. TBS handles permit coordination as a standard part of our project process. We file ODOT encroachment permits for highway crossings, coordinate with city public works departments for municipal right-of-way permits, work with county engineers for county road crossings, and process railroad crossing permits with the applicable railroad when projects cross rail lines. Our office staff tracks permit status and follows up to ensure approvals are received before mobilization. We include permit management in our project quotes rather than billing it separately.
How do I get a quote for an Oklahoma boring project? +
The fastest way to get a project quote is to call (405) 409-7423 and speak directly with our project team.
