Missile Boring · Georgia
Missile Boring in Valdosta, GA
A drilling crew's work in Valdosta 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 Valdosta: 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.
Valdosta is south Georgia sand with Moody Air Force Base, I-75 and the rail lines as the crossings; pits need dewatering more than bores need rock bits.
How a bore in Valdosta is done
The job in Valdosta 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 missile boring contractor in Valdosta
The contractor for a bore in Valdosta 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.
