Missile Boring 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.

Missile Boring in Athens: what gets installed
Missile boring (pneumatic piercing) drives a steel mole through the soil for short, straight, shallow runs under a driveway or sidewalk: the quickest way to sleeve a lawn or a walk.
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
A bore in Athens is planned backward from the product: the bend the pipe can take, the cover the permit requires under the road or the water, and the ground along the path set the entry angle and the length. One or more reaming passes open the pilot hole; the pipe or conduit comes back on the last pass behind a swivel so it does not twist.
Hiring a missile boring contractor in Athens
A good boring contractor in Athens returns the call, walks the site, writes a firm number, and leaves the pits so you cannot find them a week later. That is the standard Davis Underground Solutions, Inc. works to across Georgia, with metro Atlanta as home range and the rest of the state a quoted drive away.
