Boring Profits in Utility Ownership

Tunnel boring services are primarily contracted by utilities seeking ownership of the tunnels. Pricing is contingent upon various factors such as location, length, diameter, and geology, allowing for flexibility and responsiveness to different challenges. The service provider demonstrates advanced capabilities, having successfully navigated complex situations, including accidental encounters with carbon steel I-beams. Current projects involve collaboration with the US Department of Defense, indicating a potential for both utility and governmental applications. The revenue model offers significant profit margins, ranging from 35% to 65%, underlining the financial viability of this service.
