Four Generations of Precision Boring

Our Story

Yes, We're Boring — And Proud of It

Sloan Underground Construction has been boring its way across the Carolinas since 1965. Sixty years, four generations, one family — and a flawless safety record that we'd rather talk about than the competition's marketing copy. Where other contractors shy away from the "boring" nickname, we lean into it. Horizontal directional drilling, trenchless utility installation, and underground construction are our craft. It's what we do, all we do, and what we've been doing for longer than most of our competitors have been in business.

The owner isn't sitting behind a desk taking phone calls. William Sloan is on every job site, running the drill, leading the crew, and putting his name on the work. When you hire The Boring Guys, you hire the boss himself — not a salesman, not a project manager two layers removed from the bore path, and not a subcontractor we pass the work along to.

And because this is a four-generation family operation, you'll often catch the owner's grandson on site, learning the equipment from the ground up. Around here the boring business runs in the family. It has since 1965, and it's not stopping anytime soon.
