In addition to fiber and utility bores, our directional drilling capabilities also include civil on-grade services, fiber blowing, and manhole system installation. We have extensive experience with large-diameter bores- up to 36 inches- and the flexibility to go even larger depending on the project scope.
Managing an underground drilling project requires real-time updates, detailed tracking, and clear communication. That’s why we’ve developed a proprietary project dashboard interface that provides complete transparency throughout the drilling process. With full access to project data, clients experience greater control, better decision-making, and complete confidence in project outcomes.
“They treat us like a partner, not just a client. It’s a relationship built on trust and responsiveness.”
“Everything they do is straight, aligned, and done with precision—it’s high-quality work that we can depend on.”
“Sellenriek Construction has a solution for everything. Their team is reliable, skilled, and always ready to tackle challenges with expertise and dedication. They keep every project running smoothly and consistently deliver quality results you can trust and count on.”
“Working with Sellenriek on our broadband expansion across Northwest Missouri has been a great partnership. Their expertise in fiber construction, attention to detail, and commitment to timelines have been key to our success. We value their professionalism and look forward to future projects together.”
“We’ve worked with the Sellenriek Construction family for over a decade. Their team is skilled, professional, and genuinely wants us to succeed. Like us, they’re family owned and deeply involved in the community. If you need utility design, engineering, or construction work, you should definitely talk to them!”
Site Assessment & Planning
Soil analysis, project mapping, and risk assessment to determine the optimal drill path.
Pilot Bore Drilling
Our advanced HDD rigs create a small, controlled borehole along the planned path
Path Expansion & Conduit Installation
The borehole is widened as needed, and utility conduits are pulled through seamlessly.
Final Testing & Restoration
Ensuring proper conduit placement, stability, and project completion with minimal surface impact.
ISPs & Broadband Providers
Fiber optic network expansions for high-speed connectivity.
Municipalities & Utilities
Underground power, water, and gas line installation for city and county infrastructure.
Commercial & Industrial Developers
Utility integration for new developments and existing facility upgrades.
Renewable Energy Projects
Underground conduit placement for wind and solar energy distribution.
Directional drilling is ideal for installing underground utilities without disrupting surface infrastructure, such as fiber optic cables, water and gas pipelines, and power lines. It is particularly useful in urban areas, environmentally sensitive regions, and when crossing roads, rivers, or dense neighborhoods in Missouri or Nebraska.
Yes, directional drilling reduces labor and restoration costs by eliminating the need for extensive excavation and road closures. While initial drilling costs may be slightly higher, the long-term savings in time and surface repair make it the more economical choice.
The depth depends on the project requirements, but most installations range from 3 to 20 feet below ground, with the ability to go deeper when necessary for crossing rivers or major infrastructure.
Project timelines vary based on terrain, length, and complexity, but most HDD projects are completed faster than traditional trenching, often within days or weeks instead of months.
