Wangaratta Horizontal Boring Pty Ltd has been a trusted name in the boring and drilling industry for over 36 years. Over the decades, we have earned a reputation for pioneering HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) technology in Australia. As the first company to import and utilise steerable directional borers, Wangaratta Horizontal Boring has remained at the forefront of the industry, known for its reliability, skill, and professionalism. Our team is committed to providing efficient, safe, and cost-effective solutions for all underground boring and drilling needs.
Our extensive fleet of machinery and equipment enables us to tackle projects of varying scales. For smaller jobs, the Vermeer 20x22 Series 2 is used, while mid-to-large scale projects are handled by two Vermeer 36x50 Series 2 machines. We also employ a Vermeer 40x55DR Series 3 for rock drilling and the GoodengGD600 for large to extra-large tasks. In addition to these borers, we also boast a range of equipment, including trailer-mounted vacuum units, trucks, excavators, backhoes, and grout machines. All machinery is operated by highly experienced, trained, and licensed professionals.
At Wangaratta Horizontal Boring, we are equipped to carry out horizontal boring with minimal earth disturbance, allowing for precise and safe underground installations. We can bore through roads, highways, railways, rivers, and environmentally protected areas while we can also drill for the installation of water mains, gas lines, storm water systems, sewerage, power lines, and telecommunications. Our decades of experience, combined with cutting-edge equipment and a focus on customer service, make us the go-to choice for all kinds of boring tasks.

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method used to install underground utilities, such as pipes and cables, with minimal surface disruption. It involves drilling a pilot hole along a predetermined path and then expanding it to accommodate the required installation.
We handle a wide range of projects, including water mains, gas lines, stormwater systems, sewerage lines, power lines, and telecommunications infrastructure. We also drill under roads, highways, railways, rivers, and environmentally protected areas.
HDD minimises disruption by avoiding open trench excavation. It preserves the landscape, reduces the risk of damage to existing infrastructure, and prevents soil erosion, making it ideal for sensitive or environmentally protected areas.
Our fleet includes the Vermeer 20x22 Series 2 for smaller jobs, the Vermeer 36x50 Series 2 for mid-large scale projects, the Vermeer 40x55DR Series 3 for rock drilling, and the Goodeng GD600 for large tasks. We also use supporting equipment like vacuum units, trucks, and excavators.
We can drill through various materials, including soil, rock, and clay. Our equipment is designed to tackle a range of terrains, ensuring precision and minimal disturbance to the environment.
We can install pipes ranging in size from 25 mm to 1.45 m in diameter, depending on the requirements of the project. Our equipment is versatile and can accommodate both small and large pipe installations.
The duration of a project depends on its size, complexity, and the terrain. Smaller jobs can be completed in a few days, while larger projects may take several weeks. We provide realistic timelines before starting any work.
Yes, our horizontal boring technology is ideal for working in confined spaces or areas where traditional excavation methods are not feasible. This includes working under roads, buildings, and other obstacles.
