Casing under SH-114 approach near airport corridor
TxDOT approach slabs and airport-adjacent frontage spec casing for certain crossings. Jack and bore from shored pits minimizes pavement removal with security coordination when required.

Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Irving, TX
Jack-and-bore casing under Irving highway approaches, Trinity levees, and straight commercial drives — rigid steel where Dallas County agency specs demand it.
Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Irving, Texas
Auger boring in Irving fits straight drives where owner or agency spec requires steel casing — SH-114 approaches, storm outfalls near Trinity greenbelt, and warehouse loading lanes on MacArthur corridor. Drive pits are shored for alluvium, chalk, and clay mixes.
Jack and bore holds line and grade on a fixed push — valuable when TxDOT or environmental templates require documented casing before carriers enter. Directional Boring Texas scopes jacking force, pit depth, and Las Colinas restoration for Irving alignments.

Local Auger Boring / Jack & Bore Scenarios
Real Dallas County angles — not generic statewide copy.
Storm lead near Trinity greenbelt easement
Municipal storm near river corridor needs casing protecting RCP from settlement in alluvium. Straight auger drives avoid stripping greenbelt restoration open-cut would require — environmental windows apply.
Carrier under Las Colinas loading lane
Urban Center expansions require casing under future loading lanes before granite curbs are placed. Compact jack pits push steel while crane access exists.
Short Loop 12 frontage approach crossing
TxDOT approach slabs on Loop 12 and SH-183 frontage spec casing for certain utility crossings. Auger bore minimizes full-width pavement removal.
How Auger Boring / Jack & Bore Works in Irving
Shored drive and reception pits account for alluvium near Riverside and chalk on Las Colinas benches. Casing segments jack forward while spoil is removed. Survey holds line and grade; carriers grout per spec. Trinity flood events after upstream rain can delay river-adjacent entries.
Soil & Geology — Dallas County
Trinity River alluvium near Riverside, Austin Chalk and clay on higher ground — variable profiles across Irving's geography.
Irving profiles range from Trinity alluvium near the river to Austin Chalk and expansive clay on higher benches. Alluvium is looser and wetter — dewatering may be required. Las Colinas benches see more rock stringers; production and tooling adjust accordingly. Airport-area cuts may encounter caliche lenses inconsistently. We scope per alignment, not per zip code alone.
Weather & Scheduling
Metroplex thunderstorms, hail, and summer heat affect Irving ROW work; airport vicinities add security and height restrictions.
Hail season pauses outdoor crews when lightning threatens. Summer heat limits paver and asphalt restoration windows in Las Colinas. Trinity flood events after upstream rain can delay river-adjacent entries.
811 Locates & Permits in Irving
City of Irving Public Works, Dallas County, TxDOT Dallas District, DFW Airport authority adjacency, and Las Colinas master association ROW on some corridors.
City of Irving Public Works permits ROW and drive cuts. Las Colinas associations may review restoration on certain corridors. TxDOT Dallas District handles SH-114 and SH-183 crossings. DFW Airport authority coordinates work in security zones. Trinity greenbelt alignments may need environmental review.
Trenchless vs Open-Cut Here
Jack and bore avoids stripping full pavement on moderate straight crossings. HDD wins on curved Urban Center alignments under pavers.

How we work
Our Process for Irving Auger Boring / Jack & Bore
Consult & Site Assessment
We review plans, bore path, access, existing utilities, and owner goals — residential repair or engineered crossing.
811 Utility Locate
Texas dig law compliance: ticket, wait period, verify marks, pothole at conflicts before steel or bit enters ground.
Bore Plan & Engineering
Alignment, profile, soil expectations, permit needs, and crossing agreements for roads, rails, or waterways.
Mobilize Equipment
Right rig for length and diameter — mini-HDD for tight urban shots, larger spreads for long pulls and reams.
Pilot Hole & Drilling
Steerable pilot, survey checks, reaming passes as required for product pipe or casing diameter.
Pipe Pullback / Installation
HDPE fusion, steel casing, conduit bundles, or carrier pipe installed per spec with pullback monitoring.
Inspection & Testing
Alignment records, mandrel or pressure tests where spec requires, as-built for owners and inspectors.
Site Restoration
Minimal surface disturbance philosophy — compact entry/exit pits, restore hardscape and landscape per scope.
FAQ
Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Irving — FAQ
Auger boring vs HDD in Irving?
Straight casing under highway or levee templates favor jack and bore. Curved paths or long HDPE pulls favor HDD.
Can you jack bore near DFW Airport?
Yes when airport agreements, casing spec, and security access align.
How deep are jack pits in Irving alluvium?
Depth follows casing diameter and shoring — Trinity alluvium may require dewatering.
What casing sizes in Irving?
Steel casing from 12 inch through 72 inch and larger on engineered crossings.
Do auger bores need Texas 811 in Irving?
Yes — pit excavation exposes Oncor, Atmos, Irving utilities, and telecom.
