Underground Drilling in Savannah, GA
A drilling crew's work in Savannah 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.

Underground Drilling in Savannah: what gets installed
Underground drilling for new utilities where the surface is spoken for: tracked, steered bores placed under whatever is already built on top.
Savannah is sand, marsh and a water table a few feet down: pits need dewatering, the fluid does the work in the bore, and the port, the rail yards and the squares all have their own permits. Historic district streets are cased or bored, never cut.
How a bore in Savannah is done
On a typical Savannah 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.
