All FAQsHow deep and wide can you drill?+
Our pressure diggers bore 16" to 60" in diameter and up to 30 feet deep in most soils. Digger derricks handle 12" to 36" diameters up to 16 feet deep with reach into tight spots.
What kinds of soil can you drill in?+
Clay, silt, sand, gravel, weathered rock and mixed conditions across the Sioux Empire. If we need a rock auger or core barrel, we'll let you know upfront.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes — fully licensed in South Dakota and Minnesota and insured through Action Electric Company, in business locally since 1947. Certificates available on request before we mobilize.
Do you pour concrete or just drill the hole?+
Both. We can drill only, drill and place the rebar cage, or drill, cage and pour in a single mobilization. Most clients save time and money bundling the work.
