Communications Drilling in Columbus, GA
A drilling crew's work in Columbus is the line that has to cross something it cannot cut: a state route, a railroad, a driveway, a creek with a buffer, a lot full of cars. A pit at each end, a steered bore between them, and the pipe or conduit is pulled back with the surface untouched.

Communications Drilling in Columbus: what gets installed
Communications conduit and cable placed by directional drill: telecom, cable TV, cell-site backhaul and private networks, under roads and lots.
Columbus is the other Fall Line city: rock under the uptown bluffs, sand toward the Chattahoochee, Fort Moore on the south side, and a riverwalk and old mill district where every street hides a century of pipe.
How a bore in Columbus is done
The job in Columbus 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 communications drilling contractor in Columbus
The contractor for a bore in Columbus 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.
