Utility Drilling in Albany, GA
A drilling crew's work in Albany 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.

Utility Drilling in Albany: what gets installed
Utility drilling for water, sewer, gas, power and telecom owners: permitted road crossings, mains under live streets, services to the meter.
Albany is deep Coastal Plain: sand and clay, no rock, a high water table and the Flint River; Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany and the big agricultural processors are the industrial owners.
How a bore in Albany is done
On a typical Albany 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.
