Eastcom Directional Drilling, Inc

We completed the jobs from last week on Thursday by performing a couple of water line bores. Our team set up by the meter and successfully bored into the building's interior. We then pulled back two water lines and carried each to their respective meters.

This week, we have been actively engaged in various projects, including our work in Elizabeth City on Monday. We have been focusing on completing projects in the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake, particularly for Great Bridge Baptist Church. Our team has done an exceptional job installing conduits to create a pathway for electric and communication lines, which will support future light poles and cameras in the annex parking lot. I am impressed by the team's efficiency and ability to complete projects swiftly. It is a pleasure to work with such a skilled and dedicated team.

Yesterday, our team was in North Carolina, boring a private power run for a customer in Virginia. They identified several utilities, including private ones that we located ourselves. The process went smoothly, and as always, the customer was very satisfied.

We have wrapped up a power conduit installation project at Northwest River Park. Our team strategically bored in an L-shape and installed a handhole to replace faulty power legs in the campground area. We are very happy to have finished the job before the unfavorable weather arrived.

We experienced a challenging day, addressing an issue involving a low pressure sewer force main. Our team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and efficiency in resolving the problem, ensuring a thorough inspection and clean-up.

Last week, our team completed the installation of a new water line to serve several shops in a shopping center, while also ensuring the existing line for Food Lion remained intact. This strategic approach aimed to prevent potential backflow contamination. Our experts installed a 2-inch water line, tapped into the preexisting line, and connected it to the city meter, ensuring a seamless water supply for the shops.

This week, our team had to install some conduit for lights that were left out during the construction of a new development in Norfolk. Due to congestion and limited runs, we couldn't use drills and had to employ alternative methods. By Wednesday, we successfully completed the task using missiles. The guys effectively utilized the limited space between utilities without causing any damage as always. Great job by the team!

We successfully connected the water lines and drilled into the crawl space for power and water hookups at our dock project today. Here are some images of the progress.

Our team had a productive day, completing various tasks. One crew finalized the conduit connections at the dock project, while another addressed an urgent sewer repair that was causing a sinkhole in a parking lot. After finishing the dock project, the team joined forces to complete the sewer repair. Despite the long, hot day, we accomplished everything we set out to do and are on track for paving next week.

Yesterday, our team performed two bores in Portsmouth, Virginia, with a focus on connecting water and power to a customer's dock. This project closely resembled a recent endeavor. To finalize the project, a couple of team members will return today to securely strap the water line along the 200-foot dock, providing the customer with water access for their boat.

On Monday, the crew initiated their weekly operations with a straightforward thump shot in Newport News, which they accomplished expeditiously and with utmost professionalism, resulting in a delighted customer.

Our team has been focusing on expediting our workflow and meeting deadlines. As evidence of our success, we recently finished a project at Hall Toyota in Virginia Beach, where we laid the groundwork for a new Verizon fiber line by installing a pathway.

We welcome Freddy to our team as our new drill operator. With a proficiency in operating both Vermeer and Ditch Witch drills, Freddy is a valuable addition to our drilling operations, and we look forward to leveraging his four years of experience to drive success in our projects.

This morning, we efficiently bored and concluded our work for the week. We will officially complete the project in Poquoson next week, which has provided breathtaking views and opportunities to taste local cuisine at lunch.

A little team builder time today at the ball game. Weather was perfect for a ball game and these two guys have been working very hard to ensure our jobs are completed without any issues. Work hard play hard!!

We have been in Poquoson today, where we drilled 800 feet of conduit to complete the marsh section of the project. All that remains now are three brief road crossings and some vaults to set. Sadly we were hustling and this was the only pic I got today.

We have successfully completed a project at ZIMS in Virginia Beach, involving the installation of three 1.25-inch conduits spanning 600 feet across the parking lot and up to the building, which will control the soon to be installed gates. Kudos to our team for their commendable efforts! Wish I would have gotten more pics.

Today's drilling operation was a success, as our team completed two four-inch shots, each just under 200ft long, using two different reels of conduit. Our commitment to timeliness and cleanliness ensured the customer's satisfaction with the project's progress and outcome.

Recently, our team traveled to Portsmouth to facilitate the relocation of the Portsmouth Ferry ticket machine. It is remarkable to think that the ground we stood on has such a rich history, dating back to the 1700s. The unique setup and location made for an interesting work experience. As always, the job went smoothly, and we look forward to returning to take a ride on the ferry.

Busy week in Poquoson. Three more shots and the marsh area is complete and ready to set boxes. Moving the mats takes longer than drilling. We have zero utilities to cross in the marsh area. We racked out this morning by 9am. Now we head back to our side of the pond, get these guys paid and bonuses taken care off, and then it's time to start this vacation weekend.

Racked out by 9:30. I love it.

Big thanks to Steve Thacker at Tint Daddy for incredible work he did in our brand new mini excavator. They did our backhoe as well a few years ago. Top notch work every time.

Eastcom's recent bore completion at Checkered Flag Porsche in Virginia Beach, VA, included replacing a defective power line. The team showcased their ability to navigate complex utility situations, avoiding any damage to active or abandoned lines during the conduit pullback. This demonstrated Eastcom's commitment to quality and professionalism.

Over the past week, our team has been actively engaged in completing multiple projects, including water line installations in Chesapeake and a bore at the new Porsche dealership in Virginia Beach. We take pride in the high-quality work we deliver, which is reflected in the positive feedback we received from satisfied customers who appreciated the minimal disturbance to their yards and our team's attention to cleanup.

The latest project to be completed by Eastcom's talented team was the successful installation of an EV charger at a commercial establishment in Chesapeake, contributing to the growing adoption of eco-friendly transportation options.

At Lyon Shipyard, our team recently completed a bore for our customers and installed conduit for a new fiber line to support the ongoing revamp of the IT building.

I'm running late on social media updates. Our team has been working hard. I'm sharing completed photos of our boreholes at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater, which now provide internet access to all beverage kiosks. We'll return in a few weeks to drill additional holes.
