Yes, when the site allows it. Horizontal directional drilling bores a guided path underground and pulls the conduit back through it, so the driveway, sidewalk, or parking lot above can stay in place. Soil, depth, and utilities already in the ground decide the plan. See under pavement projects.

It often is. The pole and fixture can be fine while the conduit under the lot is cracked, crushed, or cut. A&P bores a new pathway or replaces the failed run. A licensed electrician repairs the wiring and reconnects the pole. Read about underground conduit repair or why a light pole stopped working.

A&P bores the underground pathway. For natural gas lines, connection, pressure testing, and activation stay with the utility or a licensed professional. For electrical conduit, wiring, panels, and connections stay with a licensed electrician.

Open trenching cuts a trench along the whole run. Directional drilling makes a bore under the surface and pulls the conduit back, so less lawn, pavement, and landscaping is opened up. The right method depends on the site. The comparison is in directional drilling vs. open trenching.
