About Us

Founded by Louis Egan II in 1999 as a metal fabrication company, Egan Brothers, Inc. specialized in the design and fabrication of commercial and industrial metal items. In March 2003, Down Under Directional Boring was added as a division of Egan Brothers, Inc. Today, we proudly honor the legacy established by Lou with dedicated quality construction and service to our customers.

Down Under Directional Boring specializes in all phases of utility construction including traditional utility options (open cut excavation, trenching, and plowing) as well as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), also commonly referred to as directional boring. Directional boring allows installation of underground conduit and piping without major excavation. HDD allows drilling under areas such as roadways, parking lots, buildings and historical sites that could be disturbed using traditional construction methods. HDD is a less intrusive and provides an aesthetically pleasing method of getting infrastructure into the ground. HDD also allows the installation of new outside plant without disrupting previously installed utilities. This unique process can be applied to most utility installation requirements including small diameter communications conduit systems as well as larger diameter pipes and conduit used in the water, sewer, gas, electrical and pipeline industries.

We provide turnkey installation of communications systems:

  • Inside wiring and cable infrastructure to support networking and telecommunications needs to include the installation, termination and testing of fiber optic and copper cabling from the communications closet to the desktop.
  • Outside plant construction including directional boring, trenching, plowing, aerial construction, handhold and manhole installation, cable placement of fiber optic and copper cables. Installations are performed using applicable industry standards and specifications.
