Austin Directional Drilling

Fiber-Optic Boring Across Greater Austin

Austin has been a fiber-competitive metro for a decade, and the overbuild never really stopped — FTTH still chases rooftops down the Hays corridor and up through Leander, while the manufacturing buildout northeast pulls backbone and campus duct toward the fab sites. Two very different drilling products serve that one demand: west-side and Hill Country-edge builds are limestone work with rock tooling as standard kit; eastern-crescent builds run fast in clay with shrink-swell manners.

Campus and fab-adjacent work adds the precision layer — diverse entrances, inter-building duct, strict SUE on sites where the underground is brand new but already crowded. We drill those to the site's standards with the paperwork ready before the rig rolls.

Deliverable: proofed and mandreled duct on alignment, located and as-built, tape or fiber pulled per spec. Splicing stays with your fiber house unless the scope says otherwise.

Straight answers

Can you keep pace with an FTTH production schedule?

Yes — with the honest caveat that pace planning here is ground planning. A production week in east-side clay and a production week on the limestone shelf are different numbers, and we schedule builds by which ground each segment lives in rather than promising one blended rate.
