Directional Boring in Macon, GA
New fiber, power, water, sewer and gas lines reach buildings in Macon underground, and the straight path from the main to the meter runs beneath something expensive almost every time. A directional bore puts the line under all of it from two small pits and leaves the pavement and the landscaping as they were.

Directional Boring in Macon: 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.
Macon straddles the Fall Line too, with the Ocmulgee, the Norfolk Southern yards and the I-75/I-16 interchange as its big crossings; the Macon Water Authority and GDOT District 3 permit most bores.
How a bore in Macon is done
The job in Macon 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 directional boring contractor in Macon
The contractor for a bore in Macon 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.
