Excavation & directional drilling across the San Juan Islands.
We install utility lines with specialized directional drilling equipment, so less of your property gets dug up.
Utilities in the ground without tearing it up.
Open trenching through island properties is slow and messy. It means rock, roots, driveways, gardens and shoreline buffers. Directional drilling bores underneath them and pulls utility piping through on a planned path, so the surface above stays almost untouched.
West Sound Utility Construction is the excavation and utility arm of Torma Construction LLC. We bring the drilling equipment, the experience and the planning that island sites need.
- Less surface disturbance to lawns, landscaping and hardscape
- Bores under driveways, roads, trees and sensitive areas
- Faster restoration and cleaner sites
- Planned around island access and logistics
What West Sound Utility Construction handles.
Directional drilling
Trenchless bores to place utility piping under obstacles and across properties with minimal disturbance.
Utility piping
Conduit and piping runs for water, power and communications to homes, outbuildings and commercial sites.
Excavation
Site excavation and earthwork for new builds, additions and utility connections.
Site preparation
Clearing, grading and preparing building sites so your project starts on solid ground.
Trenching
When an open trench is the right tool, we dig it cleanly and restore the site afterward.
Project coordination
We coordinate with your builder, utility providers and designers so the groundwork fits the rest of the project.
From site walk to finished run.
Walk the site
We look at the ground, access, existing utilities and where your lines need to go.
Plan the path
We map the bore or trench route and give you a clear scope and timeline.
Drill, place & restore
We complete the work, place the piping and leave the site clean.
Good to know.
Where do you work?
We work throughout the San Juan Islands. Tell us where your property is and we will talk through access and scheduling.
Is directional drilling right for my property?
Usually, if a line has to cross a driveway, landscaping, tree roots or other things you want left alone. Some short runs are simpler to trench. We will recommend whichever fits your site best.
Do you work with my builder or other trades?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with general contractors, homeowners, designers and utility providers so the groundwork fits the rest of the project.
How do I get an estimate?
Send us a note through the contact page with your location and a short description of the work. Brian will follow up to talk through the details.
