Trusted by Ontario municipalities, utilities and rail operators.
Two Pits. No Trench.
HDD installs lines from 3/4" services to 48"+ mains under whatever is in the way, in ground from clay to solid rock.
Any size, any material.
3/4" service lines through 48"+ mains, in HDPE, PVC or steel casing. One contractor for the service connection and the trunk main.
Bedrock isn't a stopping point.
Overburden, clay, till, cobble and solid rock. A rock condition changes our tooling, not your completion date.
Restoration cost mostly disappears.
No trench line means no asphalt, curb, sidewalk or sod to put back. On long runs through developed areas that's where most of the budget was going.
Cross what you
can't trench.
Highways, rail corridors,
rivers, wetlands, mature trees,
finished landscaping. If open
cutting isn't permitted or isn't
possible, boring under it
usually is.
Fewer approvals, fewer complaints.
A narrower permit scope, fewer affected property owners, and a lot fewer calls to the municipality during construction.
No open cut, no
road closure.
One entry pit, one exit pit, and everything in between stays untouched. Traffic keeps moving and you're not applying for a full-length lane closure.
Seven Utilities.
One Drill.
Everything from a residential service line to a 48"
trunk main, installed by horizontal directional drilling
without opening the street.
Water Mains & Services
Distribution mains and service
connections in HDPE or PVC.
Residential ties through municipal
trunk lines, bored under roads,
driveways and
watercourses without opening the
street.
Sanitary & Forcemain
Gravity sanitary on grade and
pressurized forcemain, installed
under roads, rail and rivers where
an open cut isn't permitted or isn't
practical.
Telecom & Fibre
Conduit and duct bank for
fibre and broadband
builds. Long runs on live
streets with tight
tolerances and minimal
surface disruption
through built-
up areas.
Hydro & Power
Primary and secondary
duct for hydro and power
distribution, including
road, highway and rail
crossings.
Oil, Gas & Fuel Lines
Fuel and gas installations
drilled to the tolerances
and documentation
standards this work
requires.
Geothermal Loops
Horizontal loop fields
installed entirely by HDD
— supply and return lines,
no vertical bore field
required.
Intake & Outfall Lines
Water intake and outfall
crossings under shoreline,
riverbed and wetland,
where surface
disturbance isn't an
option.
The Right Rig for Every Bore.
Compact, mid-size and large production drills, so a fibre drop and a 48" trunk main each get the machine built for the job.
Residential services, driveway and short road crossings, fibre drops, tight access
Road crossings, watermains, forcemain, telecom backbone, commercial utility runs
River and rail crossings, highway crossings, large-diameter trunk mains and transmission
HDD Specs at a Glance
Bore sizes, pipe materials and ground
conditions we work in.
Whatever’s Down There, We Tool for It.
Sand, clay, cobble or solid bedrock. Ground conditions change our tooling, not whether the bore gets done.
Sand, Gravel & Fill
Loose, unstable ground. The challenge is keeping the hole open, not cutting it, so we manage fluid viscosity and pressure through the pilot bore and the pullback.
Clay & Till
The most common ground across Southern Ontario. Tooling and drilling fluid are matched to the clay so cuttings clear cleanly and production stays high.
Cobble & Mixed Ground
The condition most likely to stop a bore. Mixed formations need tooling that handles soil and stone in the same run, and a bore path designed around what’s actually down there, not just what a few boreholes showed.
Solid Bedrock
Shield granite, limestone and shale. Rock bores run on tri-cone or PDC bits driven by a mud motor. It’s slower than soil, but entirely doable. We’ve been drilling Ontario rock for decades, and it changes our tooling and schedule, not whether the job gets done.
If a geotechnical report came back with rock and your last contractor walked away from it, send it to us.
Let's ConnectHDPE, PVC or Steel. Whatever the Spec Calls For.
We fuse, weld and pull all three with our own crews, in sizes from 3/4" services to 48" mains.
HDPE
The default for most bores. Flexible enough to follow the bore path and fused into one continuous string, with no mechanical joints to fail underground. We fuse on site in sizes up to 48" and larger, so the pull doesn’t wait on a subcontractor.
PVC
Specified by many municipalities for watermain and sewer. We install fusible and restrained-joint PVC, with the bore path designed around its wider bend radius.
Steel Casing
Required under most rail and highway crossings. Sections are welded on site and pulled in as a sleeve, with the carrier pipe installed inside it.
Fusion, welding and drilling are all self-performed. One crew, one schedule, one point of contact.
Let's ConnectEvery Sector Has Its Own Rules. We Drill to All of Them.
Trenchless installation for municipalities, telecoms, developers, contractors, rail operators and utilities.
Municipal & Government
Watermain, sanitary and forcemain installed under roads, driveways and watercourses without opening the street.
Telecom & Broadband
Conduit and duct bank for fibre builds, bored along live streets and under driveways, with existing utilities located and exposed before we drill.
Developers
Site servicing for subdivisions and ICI development, installed under finished roads, landscaping and hard surfaces without tearing them up.
General Contractors
Road, rail and watercourse crossings handled as one subcontract. We self-perform the drilling, fusion and welding, and work around your sequence, not against it.
Rail & Transit
Crossings under live track by rules-qualified crews, with steel casing where the railway requires it and the documentation its permit calls for.
Hydro & Power
Primary and secondary duct for distribution networks, bored under roads, highways and rail crossings.
Fuel & Gas
Fuel and gas lines drilled to tight line and grade tolerances, with the bore records and as-builts this work requires.

An underground utility contractor installs, repairs and supports underground infrastructure such as water, sewer, telecom, hydro, fuel and geothermal systems using specialized construction methods and equipment.
CC Underground provides horizontal directional drilling (HDD), hydrovac excavation, utility ploughing, HDPE pipe fusion, geothermal loop installation and related underground construction services across Ontario.
Hydrovac excavation uses pressurized water and vacuum removal to safely expose underground utilities, daylight services, slot trench and excavate around existing infrastructure with less surface disruption.
HDD provides trenchless installation of water, sewer, telecom, hydro and other utility lines beneath roads, rail corridors, waterways and developed areas while minimizing surface disruption.
The company is registered with ComplyWorks , has CROR-qualified crews for live rail corridors, and is currently pursuing COR certification through IHSA.
