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