Horizontal Drilling in Augusta, GA
A drilling crew's work in Augusta 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 Augusta: 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.
Augusta sits on the Fall Line: Piedmont rock on the hill, Coastal Plain sand toward the river, and the Savannah River, the canal and Fort Eisenhower as the crossings that matter. GDOT District 2 and Augusta Utilities permit most of the work.
How a bore in Augusta is done
The job in Augusta 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 Augusta
The contractor for a bore in Augusta 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.
