Road, Highway & Railroad Boring Crossings
Getting a utility across a highway or a rail line is its own specialty: the crossing has to be a cased bore built to the agency's engineering standard, on grade, with the right permit in hand. It's the work the Big Country's I-20 and Union Pacific corridors demand constantly.

Railroad crossings
Crossings under the Union Pacific mainline (the former Texas & Pacific) and other lines require a cased bore to the railroad's engineering standard, installed by jack and bore on a precise grade. We build to the spec and coordinate the railroad's crossing requirements and insurance conditions.
Highway & road crossings
TxDOT crossings under I-20, US-83, US-84, US-277, and US-283 carry their own casing, depth, and permit requirements; county-road and city crossings have theirs. We size the casing, hold the grade, and handle the permitting and traffic control the crossing needs.
Method by crossing
Most road and rail crossings are jack and bore — straight, cased, on grade. Longer or curved crossings, or those under rivers and developed ground, go to HDD. Large-diameter or deep crossings go to microtunneling. The crossing decides the method.
