Directional Boring in Brevard, NC

Brevard is the seat of Transylvania County — about 7,600 people on the valley floor where the French Broad River winds through — and the working conditions change with the topography. In-town lots off historic downtown Main Street sit on comparatively forgiving valley soils; climb toward the slopes ringing the valley and you meet granite and red clay in unpredictable ratios. That mix is why bore-path planning matters more here than raw rig power, though we bring both. Transylvania County calls itself the Land of Waterfalls, with more than 250 of them, and Brevard is the gateway town to Pisgah National Forest — the US-276 entrance runs right out of town — so a large share of the properties we serve are wooded, sloped, and set back from the road. Between Brevard College near downtown, the summer crowds at the Brevard Music Center, and a town that guards its famous white squirrels closely enough to throw them a festival, this is not a place that tolerates torn-up streets and mud-tracked yards. Trenchless work suits Brevard's character: the utility goes in underground, and the surface stays exactly the way the town likes it.
