Auger Boring and Drilling in Albany: what gets installed
Cased auger bores for road, highway and railroad crossings and for gravity sewer that has to hold an exact grade: a straight steel casing jacked from a pit.
Albany is deep Coastal Plain: sand and clay, no rock, a high water table and the Flint River; Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany and the big agricultural processors are the industrial owners.
How a bore in Albany is done
The job in Albany starts before the rig arrives: the Georgia 811 ticket, a walk of the alignment, and a bore plan that threads the marked utilities and anything the locate cannot see. The pilot hole is drilled with a steerable head and tracked from the surface rod by rod, reamed to size, and the product is pulled back in one pass. Rock or sand changes the bit and the pace, not the method.
Hiring a auger boring and drilling contractor in Albany
The contractor for a bore in Albany should be able to say what the ground is before the rig is unloaded, show the tracking log for every rod, and hand back conduit that is proofed and capped. Davis Underground Solutions, Inc. does all of that as a matter of routine, on its own equipment, anywhere in the state.
