Directional Drilling in Saskatoon
Trenchless utility installation in Saskatoon that gets water, power, gas, and telecom lines in the ground with minimal disruption to your property.
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) bores a path underground and pulls pipe, cable, or conduit through it — so your lawn, driveway, or road doesn't need to be trenched open. We run five directional drills (Ditch Witch JT-5 through JT-25) plus vibratory plows, so we can size the right rig to the job, from a single residential water line installation in Saskatoon to a multi-run telecom install.
This is one of ProCore's original two service lines, alongside hydrovac excavation, and the one most of our commercial and utility clients know us for.

Water Line Installation in Saskatoon and Northern Saskatchewan
ProCore started by drilling water lines from cabins to lakes in Northern Saskatchewan, and residential water line installation is still part of our work today. Directional drilling runs the new line under lawns, driveways and trees, so the yard is not trenched open.

Directional Drilling in Saskatoon: Common Questions
What is horizontal directional drilling?
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method that bores a path underground and pulls pipe, cable or conduit through it. Because the ground is not trenched open, lawns, driveways and roads stay intact. ProCore uses HDD for water, power, gas, telecom and drainage lines around Saskatoon.
Can you install a water line in Saskatoon without digging up my yard?
Yes. ProCore installs residential water lines by directional drilling, which avoids an open trench across your lawn or driveway. ProCore began by drilling water lines from cabins to lakes in Northern Saskatchewan and still offers this service.
What directional drills does ProCore use?
ProCore runs five Ditch Witch directional drills from the JT-5 to the JT-25, plus Ditch Witch vibratory plows. This lets the crew match the rig to the job, from a single residential line to a multi-run telecom install.
Which utilities can be installed with directional drilling?
Water, power, gas, telecom and fibre, and drainage lines can all be installed by directional drilling. ProCore has completed SaskTel telecom installations in Saskatoon and Prince Albert and rural municipal water mains in Saskatchewan.
Is directional drilling environmentally friendly?
Yes. Directional drilling disturbs far less ground than open trenching and is not affected by surface obstacles such as roads, trees, concrete pads and rivers. ProCore states that it uses environmentally friendly drilling products.
