Horizontal 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.

Horizontal Drilling in Atlanta: what gets installed
Horizontal drilling for any line that has to cross something it cannot cut through: a street, a slab, a canal, a stand of trees. Entry pit, exit pit, nothing opened in between.
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
The job in Atlanta 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 horizontal drilling contractor in Atlanta
The contractor for a bore in Atlanta 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.
