Fiber Optic Cable Drilling in Athens, GA
A drilling crew's work in Athens 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.

Fiber Optic Cable Drilling in Athens: what gets installed
Fiber duct and drop conduit installed by directional drill for carriers, co-ops, campuses and developments: long shots along the right-of-way, short shots to the building.
Athens-Clarke County is Piedmont rock close to the surface in places, a university campus that never closes, and the Oconee crossings; Athens-Clarke Public Utilities and the University System are the usual owners.
How a bore in Athens is done
On a typical Athens 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.
