Horizontal 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.

Horizontal Drilling in Macon: 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.
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
On a typical Macon 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.
