History

Since 1998, Bortech has been the engineering force behind complex utility infrastructure across the Northeast. Led by globally respected engineer and innovator Robert Titanic, we specialize in trenchless solutions where traditional methods fall short. From advanced directional drilling to custom tunneling systems, Bortech delivers safe, precise, turnkey OSP solutions—with rigorous documentation, compliance, and reliability from ground to final installation.

Leadership

We have partnered with numerous EPCs and prime contractors to reduce risk, control schedules, and deliver high- quality underground utility construction. Our leaders work alongside field crews, providing hands-on expertise, broad project coverage, and real-time decision-making when conditions change. Strong documentation, reporting, safety, and compliance keep projects efficient, organized, and inspector-ready.

Innovation

Bortech is an underground construction innovator built on engineering expertise and a commitment to solving what others cannot. Founder Robert Titanic helped revolutionize horizontal directional drilling through innovations that advanced Small Boring Unit technology. Today, Bortech applies that same inventive approach to HDD, microtunneling, and utility tunneling—developing practical, project-specific solutions for even the most  challenging ground conditions.

Safety

At Bortech, safety is personal. Every project begins with disciplined preparation, from daily hazard assessments and equipment inspections to utility locating, tracking verification, and traffic control. Our crews follow OSHA and applicable equipment standards and use required PPE and protective procedures on every job. From the first walk-through to the final operation, we build safety into the way work is planned, performed, and monitored.

Environment

Trenchless technology significantly reduces the need for excavation, preserving natural landscapes. At Bortech, we prioritize environmental stewardship in all our operations. Our targeted approach ensures that we avoid sensitive areas like wetlands and protected habitats, while our noise and vibration control minimize disruptions to wildlife. These proactive measures reflect our dedication to protecting the environment for future generations.
