Directional Boring in Savannah: 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.
Savannah is sand, marsh and a water table a few feet down: pits need dewatering, the fluid does the work in the bore, and the port, the rail yards and the squares all have their own permits. Historic district streets are cased or bored, never cut.
How a bore in Savannah is done
The job in Savannah 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 Savannah
The contractor for a bore in Savannah 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.
