Directional Boring in Alpharetta: what gets installed
Directional boring is the small-rig end of HDD: short, shallow bores for service lines, sleeves and conduit on residential and light-commercial lots.
Alpharetta's data centers, office parks and fiber-rich corridors along GA 400 make it one of the busiest bore markets in the state; the rock is close and the permits run through the city and GDOT District 7.
How a bore in Alpharetta is done
On a typical Alpharetta job the crew sets an entry pit on one side of the obstruction and an exit pit on the other, confirms the 811 marks, potholes every crossing utility, and drills the pilot bore with a walkover locator reading the head at every rod. The hole is reamed, the line is pulled in, the drilling fluid is recovered with a vac truck, and the pits are restored the same day on most small jobs.
