Missile boring is the most cost-effective solution for short utility crossings under residential driveways, local roads, and neighborhood streets in Alabama. This article explains the process and what to expect.

What Is Missile Boring and How Does It Work?

Missile boring uses a pneumatic impact tool — called a “missile” or “mole” — that is propelled through the soil by compressed air. The tool hammers its way through the ground, displacing soil to create a bore hole. It’s ideal for crossings up to about 100 feet in reasonably soft soils. Boring Bros LLC’s missile boring team handles residential and light commercial crossings throughout Alabama.
