Trenching is destructive, expensive, and disruptive. Lovett Services deploys horizontal directional drilling as the precision alternative, boring underground conduit paths that leave roads, parking lots, landscaping, and building foundations completely intact. Our PGE-certified crews serve commercial property managers, facility directors, developers, and municipalities across the Portland metro.
From threading fiber optic lines beneath a heritage tree grove to boring under an active state highway, our HDD equipment and experienced operators deliver bore paths engineered to navigate around every obstacle on your property.
Every bore path engineered for your site: precision that protects infrastructure, environments, and your bottom line.
Install power conduit, data lines, and communication cables underground without cutting a single trench. Our HDD crews bore precise paths through soil and rock beneath active parking lots, driveways, and paved surfaces with no disruption to your tenants or operations.
Replace or install water mains and sewer lines beneath roads, sidewalks, and structures without traffic closures or complex municipal repaving permits. Trenchless sewer and water line installation dramatically reduces project timelines and total cost for commercial properties.
Our advanced line boring allows us to navigate beneath heritage trees, wetlands, protected green spaces, and existing foundations, preserving roads, landscapes, root systems, and sensitive ecological areas that conventional excavation would destroy.
A precision-engineered four-phase approach that eliminates uncertainty and protects your property from start to finish.
We conduct a thorough site survey, identifying existing utilities, environmental constraints, and subsurface conditions to define the optimal bore path before any equipment arrives on site.
Our engineers calculate the precise entry angle, bore depth, and arc trajectory to navigate around underground obstacles and meet all utility company specifications for your project.
Our PGE-certified operators execute the bore with GPS-guided drilling equipment, tracking the drill head in real time to follow the engineered path with pinpoint accuracy.
Once the bore is complete, we pull the conduit, pipe, or cable through and restore all entry and exit points, leaving your property clean, intact, and fully operational.
Underground utility work shouldn’t disrupt your tenants, damage your hardscapes, or close your streets. Lovett Services combines 27+ years of trenchless expertise with PGE-certified operators and precision HDD equipment to deliver clean, accurate bores that protect your property investment. Every project is fully licensed under CCB #125507 with a 1-year workmanship warranty.
In many scenarios, HDD isn’t just a preference: it’s the only viable solution to prevent massive logistical and financial disruptions on your property.
We provide trenchless sewer and utility line installation under road surfaces to prevent disruptive traffic closures, complex municipal permitting delays, and costly asphalt repaving, keeping your project on schedule without shutting down surrounding streets.
HDD is the safest and most cost-effective way to install conduit under driveways, commercial parking areas, and retail centers without tearing up freshly paved surfaces or disrupting customer and tenant access.
We perform precision driveway sleeve installation and fiber optic boring for high-speed communication lines, upgraded security networks, and data infrastructure, ensuring your systems are protected underground without surface damage.
Our advanced line boring services allow us to drill safely under heritage trees, wetlands, protected landscaping, or existing building foundations without causing ecological or structural damage that conventional trenching would inflict.
The true cost of an infrastructure project goes far beyond the contractor’s bid. Traditional open-cut excavation carries massive hidden costs that HDD eliminates entirely.
By avoiding the mess, heavy machinery footprint, and access restrictions of traditional trenching, daily operations at your multifamily building, industrial park, or retail center continue uninterrupted, protecting your physical assets and your revenue simultaneously.
Complete underground infrastructure solutions delivered by a single trusted contractor.
Full-service commercial excavation for site preparation, grading, trenching, and civil infrastructure work across the Portland metro area.
Trenchless pipe replacement that fractures your existing pipe outward while simultaneously pulling the new pipe into position. No digging required.
Precision hydrovac excavation for utility potholing, daylighting underground lines, and safe digging in congested or sensitive underground environments.
Real results from real projects across the Portland metro area.
“Our water line leaked under the sidewalk where the AC sat. Tylo and Eric drilled a new conduit in two days and cleaned up like they were never there. Landscaping, sidewalk, and AC still intact — cost was totally reasonable.”

Common questions from property managers, developers, and facility directors.
Horizontal directional drilling is a trenchless method of installing underground pipes, conduits, and cables in a shallow arc along a prescribed bore path. Instead of digging a massive trench, our technicians drill from a single entry point to a single exit point, navigating around existing underground infrastructure with pinpoint accuracy, preserving roads, sidewalks, parking lots, and landscaping.
Yes. We specialize in trenchless sewer and utility line installation under road surfaces to prevent disruptive traffic closures, complex municipal permitting delays, and costly asphalt repaving.
Yes. Our installers are PGE-certified for power and utility conduit installation, ensuring your project meets all utility company and municipal requirements.
We install power conduits, telecommunications cables, fiber optics, water lines, sewer lines, and geothermal loops using horizontal directional drilling. Our precision equipment navigates around existing underground infrastructure in complex commercial environments.
Our advanced line boring services allow us to drill safely under heritage trees, wetlands, protected landscaping, or existing building foundations without causing ecological or structural damage. We plan the bore path to avoid root zones and sensitive environmental areas.
Lovett Services delivers precision HDD solutions that protect your hardscapes, eliminate traffic closures, and keep your property fully operational throughout the project.
