Frequently Asked Question

Will Underboring Damage My Driveway?

Underboring is designed to reduce surface disturbance, but the pits and ground conditions still need to be planned.

A suitable underbore can keep the main driveway surface intact by creating access pits outside or near the edges. The result depends on the ground, depth, route, existing construction and the condition of the surface.

Provide photos of the driveway and identify any slabs, retaining edges, drainage or services close to the proposed pits. The excavation plan should include safe pit backfill and any surface repair that remains necessary.
