​The crew was very cooperative and responsive to requests that were made during the process of boring. Amidst challenges that arose during the project the Horizontal crew was pro-active and of the mindset to get the job done in a timely and appropriate manner. Horizontal went to great lengths to be environmentally responsible.

I know it’s far too often that you hear from the isolated customer with a complaint and nearly never from the multitudes that are satisfied with the service they’ve received—so I’ll be the oddball. Your crew did exactly what we had hoped—in and out the same day successfully and efficiently completing the crossing. They had the right equipment, the knowledge, the tenacity to push through on a 100 degree day—and they conducted themselves professionally and kept the worksite safe (and in compliance with the RR safety requirements). Thanks again.​
