Every city knows the story. Below the ground, interwoven networks of existing utilities, foundations, aging tunnels, and pipes have been installed in different ways over time. Above the ground, the busy world of commerce must be kept apace. Automobiles and heavy trucks create demand. Residences, offices and retail shops require access. There are limited rights-of-way and constant issues involving safety and liability.

Decision-makers in the public and private sectors are increasingly turning to tunneling to overcome these challenges, and W.L. Hailey & Company has invested in this solution to meet their client's needs. Advances in technology, new equipment and the application of more efficient processes have made tunneling more cost effective than ever before.

Planning is the first step in our process. We analyze the lay of the land - above and below ground. We prepare to tackle the geology - from hard rock to soft in virtually every formation. Our professionals utilize mechanical-boring and hand mining techniques to create tunnels for water, sewage and storm water conveyance and other utilities, railroads and pedestrians. Each presents its own obstacles, and we supply our own solutions.
