Directional Drilling in Atlanta, GA
A drilling crew's work in Atlanta 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.

Directional Drilling in Atlanta: what gets installed
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD): a steered bore between two small pits that puts conduit, pipe and cable under roads, driveways, parking lots and landscaping with no open trench.
Inside Atlanta the obstacle is a street the city will not let anyone cut, a MARTA or rail crossing, a creek buffer or a parking deck; the granite is predictable and the permit is the long part. Home range for the crew, no mobilization.
How a bore in Atlanta is done
On a typical Atlanta 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.
