Missile boring in Louisville, Kentucky drives a pneumatic piercing tool through the soil to pull small-diameter pipe or conduit across short crossings, a driveway, a sidewalk, a road, with no trench and no surface disruption.
Missile boring uses a pneumatic piercing tool, the "missile", that's driven horizontally through the soil by compressed air. As it punches forward, it compacts the ground around it and pulls a small-diameter pipe or conduit in behind it.
There's no steering and no trench. The tool follows a straight path from a small entry pit to a small exit pit, which makes it fast to set up and economical for short runs.
It's the right tool when the crossing is short, small, and straight, and full directional drilling would be more method than the job calls for.
