Boring & Underground Construction in Taylor County, TX
Taylor County is home base. Abilene anchors it, with the Union Pacific mainline and I-20 running straight through and US-83/84/277 branching off — so cased highway and railroad crossings come up constantly, alongside fiber, water, gas, and wind-energy work.
The Union Pacific mainline (former Texas & Pacific) splits Abilene north to south and runs west through Merkel and Tye; I-20, US-83, US-84, US-277, and Loop 322 add TxDOT crossings throughout the county.
The ground is Taylor County's reddish loam over clayey, lime-rich subsoil, with caliche and limestone shelves that drive tooling choices. The Horse Hollow and Buffalo Gap wind farms south of Abilene feed underground collector lines.

Do you bore under the Union Pacific line in Taylor County?
Yes — crossings under the UP mainline require a cased bore to the railroad's spec, installed by jack and bore. We build to the standard and coordinate the crossing.
