Structured Cable Drilling 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.

Structured Cable Drilling in Athens: what gets installed
Conduit between buildings for structured cabling, campus networks, security and controls, bored under courtyards, drives and parking rather than cut across them.
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
The job in Athens 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 structured cable drilling contractor in Athens
The contractor for a bore in Athens 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.
