HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING
Servicing Warrnambool & Western Victoria
Trenchless Underground Installation for Civil, Utility & Infrastructure Projects
At Complete Underground, we provide expert horizontal directional drilling (HDD) services across Warrnambool and Western Victoria.
Our trenchless drilling solutions are ideal for the underground installation of utilities — including water, sewer, communications, power, and NBN — where surface disruption must be minimised.
Whether it’s under roads, driveways, footpaths, or environmentally sensitive land, we deliver precision HDD services on time and to spec — backed by modern equipment and experienced operators.
Why Use Directional Drilling?
Directional drilling, also known as trenchless boring, is the preferred method for installing underground services in locations where traditional trenching is not practical or permitted.
It allows us to drill beneath:
-
Roads and highways
-
Driveways and footpaths
-
Rivers and waterways
-
Rail lines
-
Buildings or landscaped areas
This means minimal reinstatement costs, reduced traffic disruption, and a cleaner, faster result.
Your Local HDD Professionals
Horizontal directional drilling offers minimal ground disturbance with only an entry and exit hole visible. Allowing existing footpaths, roads, sacred land and gardens & vegetation to be undisturbed.
Horizontal directional drilling is both cost effective and environmentally friendly opposed to traditional open trenching techniques.
The operator has the ability to change direction and depth to avoid existing underground services and can provide the necessary tolerances needed, as required by each asset owner.
Horizontal directional drilling can also reduce the impact to the public.
Allowing roads and footpaths to remain open, as opposed to traditional open trenching.
Installations we can provide are as follows:
Sewer, Water, Power, Communications, Gas
