In the era of ever-evolving communication and technology, underground boring and fiber installation have become essential components of successful infrastructure.
VIKOR offers turnkey underground services to meet all your utility needs. Whether you’re expanding your fiber network to a new community or seeking to install underground power in an urban area, VIKOR has the expertise and versatility to get the job done.
With underground boring services, there is no need for extensive digging or trenching, resulting in minimal disruption to the environment and a more cost-effective solution.
Help your business get online or get fiber direct to your home with our fiber installation services. Fiber is the preferred structured cabling because it can run farther and at faster speeds than typical cable.
Fiber cables are installed to homes similarly to telephone and internet wires, but they can also be installed underground, underwater, or aerially. Fiber installation is much faster than above-ground work because it requires no extensive digging.
Additionally, equipment like cranes and excavators used in traditional methods are unnecessary. This significantly accelerates the process, allowing users to benefit from their new infrastructure sooner without disrupting the neighborhood. With VIKOR’s turnkey services and experienced technicians, we can build your network from start to finish.
After installation, we also provide maintenance and upgrades as needed. Our services include aerial installations and directional underground boring.
With the growing demand for broadband in underserved areas, it's crucial to have contractors skilled in safe and efficient fiber installation. VIKOR has boring, trenching, and plow crews to assist local and national broadband providers in building their network.
Our trenching and boring teams are highly skilled. We specialize in civil work, including land surveying, and possess expertise in various soil and bedrock types, operating in both developed and undeveloped areas. VIKOR efficiently installs fiber lines to keep your project on schedule and maintain high-quality standards.
Our in-house underground and electrical crews provide turnkey power installations. When you require rapid installation of underground electrical utilities, VIKOR is your one-stop shop. We prioritize quality and safety, ensuring all our field staff are trained and certified to complete the job correctly.

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a method used to install underground utilities while minimizing disruption to the surface. A boring machine drills underground from a small entry pit to a predetermined exit point. Once the drill reaches the exit point, a conduit or pipe is attached to the drill head and pulled back through the drilled path. Using specialized equipment, one or multiple pipes can be installed along the length of the drill path.
VIKOR’s directional drilling machines can reach up to 500–600 feet, depending on project requirements and site conditions.
Directional boring is used to install a variety of underground utilities, including fiber optic networks, broadband infrastructure, telecommunications systems, electrical utilities, and other civil infrastructure projects. It is especially useful in areas where minimizing surface disruption is important, such as beneath roads, sidewalks, landscaping, and developed areas.
The cost of directional boring depends on several factors, including project location, existing infrastructure, soil conditions, project length, and the number of utilities being installed. Conditions such as clay, rock, or other difficult soil can affect the equipment and work required. Because each project is different, VIKOR can provide a project-specific estimate based on the scope and site conditions.
Directional boring provides a less disruptive alternative to traditional trenching by allowing utilities to be installed underground with minimal excavation. This approach can help preserve roads, sidewalks, landscaping, and other existing infrastructure while reducing restoration requirements and helping projects move more efficiently.
Yes. VIKOR provides turnkey underground utility services, managing projects from planning and permitting through design, surveying, underground construction, and ongoing maintenance. Our teams coordinate leasing, right-of-way solutions, permitting, site design, and construction to help move projects from concept to completion.
