Horizontal directional drilling in Baton Rouge, New Orleans & the Northshore

Mixson Utility Services is a horizontal directional drilling (HDD) contractor serving South Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. We place conduit, water line and pipe under roads, driveways, parking lots and runways without open-cutting them. We work for utility companies, municipalities, general contractors and facility owners, from the first locate to the as-built drawing.

What we drill

Services

Every job is a bore. We focus on directional drilling and leave the rest of the site work to the trades you already have.

Power & telecom conduit

Single and multi-duct conduit for electrical service, street and site lighting, fiber and communications.

Water & pipe

Water service and main extensions, irrigation, and HDPE pipe pulled under obstacles in one continuous run.

Road & paving crossings

Bores under highways, streets, driveways, parking lots and airport pavement with traffic kept moving overhead.

Tight commercial sites

Hospitals, campuses, parking garages and occupied facilities where trenching isn't an option.

Paint stripes follow the APWA uniform color code for marking underground utilities.

How a bore runs

From locate to as-built

Locate & scan

One-call locates on every job, radar scanning where private utilities are present, and hydrovac potholing to put eyes on crossings before we drill.

Pilot bore

A steerable pilot hole is drilled and tracked along the planned path, at the depth the plans call for.

Ream & pull back

The hole is opened to size and the product is pulled back. Drilling fluid is contained and hauled off by vac trailer where required.

As-built profile

You get a bore profile drawing showing length, depth and pitch for your records and the owner's.

Equipment & capability

Built for the bores contractors need most

Two drills and our own hydrovac, sized for the conduit, service and crossing work that makes up most underground utility projects in South Louisiana and along the coast.

About

A drilling company run by a driller

Seth T. Mixson founded Mixson Utility Services in 2008 to provide horizontal directional drilling to utility companies, municipalities, general contractors, specialty contractors and facility owners across South Louisiana.

Eighteen years and hundreds of miles of product later, the company still does one thing. Seth bids every job himself and stays involved from preliminary design through the final pull, so the person who priced your bore is the person you call when you have a question.
