Pathways between buildings

Structured cabling stops at the building wall unless there is a pathway to the next one. On a Georgia campus, hospital, school district, military installation or office park that pathway is a bore: conduit under the quad, the ring road, the parking deck entrance or the creek, from the MDF in one building to the IDF in the next, with handholes where the drawings put them. The crew sets the sweeps for the fiber's bend radius, proofs the pathway and hands it to the cabling contractor ready to pull.

Sites that need it

University and technical college campuses.
Hospital and medical campuses adding buildings and garages.
K-12 districts connecting schools, field houses and portables.
Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine installations across the state.
Corporate campuses, warehouses and logistics parks.

Security, cameras and access control

Gate controllers, cameras on light poles and card readers on outbuildings all need a pathway, and a short bore under the drive or the lot is usually the whole job.

Ground

Georgia is three different drilling states stacked on top of each other. North of the Fall Line, which runs roughly Columbus to Macon to Augusta, the Piedmont puts red clay over saprolite over granite and gneiss, and the rock can sit a few feet down or forty. South of that line the Coastal Plain is sand, clay and marl with a high water table and almost no rock. In the northwest corner the ridges are limestone and shale, with the caves to prove it. The bit, the fluid and the production rate all change with the region, which is why the first question on any estimate is the address.

Statewide

Davis Underground Solutions, Inc. is headquartered in Powder Springs, west of Atlanta, and runs the whole state. Metro Atlanta and the counties around it are home range with no mobilization fee; Columbus, Macon, Augusta, Savannah, Albany, Valdosta and everywhere between are a quoted mobilization and a crew that has already been there. Being the drilling company that actually picks up the phone and shows up is most of why the company works across Georgia. Davis Underground Solutions has the rigs and the project list.

Other drilling and boring services in Georgia

Directional Drilling Georgia

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD): a steered bore between two small pits that puts conduit, pipe and cable under roads, driveways, parking lots and landscaping with no open trench.

Horizontal Drilling Georgia

Horizontal drilling for any line that has to cross something it cannot cut through: a street, a slab, a canal, a stand of trees. Entry pit, exit pit, nothing opened in between.

Directional Boring Georgia

Directional boring is the small-rig end of HDD: short, shallow bores for service lines, sleeves and conduit on residential and light-commercial lots.

Underground Drilling Georgia

Underground drilling for new utilities where the surface is spoken for: tracked, steered bores placed under whatever is already built on top.

Fiber Optic Cable Drilling Georgia

Fiber duct and drop conduit installed by directional drill for carriers, co-ops, campuses and developments: long shots along the right-of-way, short shots to the building.

Electrical Conduit Drilling Georgia

PVC and HDPE electrical conduit bored under pavement for primary feeds, secondary services, site lighting and EV charging circuits.

Underground Conduit Drilling Georgia

Single ducts and multi-duct bundles pulled through one reamed bore: communications, power, controls and spares placed together under the obstacle.

Utility Drilling Georgia

Utility drilling for water, sewer, gas, power and telecom owners: permitted road crossings, mains under live streets, services to the meter.

Communications Drilling Georgia

Communications conduit and cable placed by directional drill: telecom, cable TV, cell-site backhaul and private networks, under roads and lots.

Missile Boring Georgia

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.

Auger Boring and Drilling Georgia

Cased auger bores for road, highway and railroad crossings and for gravity sewer that has to hold an exact grade: a straight steel casing jacked from a pit.

Sewer, Water and Drain Lines Georgia

New water services and mains, sewer force mains and laterals, and storm drains installed under roads, driveways and yards without trenching them open.

Questions about structured cable drilling in Georgia

Can you work around an occupied campus?+

Yes. Bores are scheduled around classes, clinic hours or shifts, and the pits are fenced and restored quickly.

Who sets the handhole locations?+

The cabling design. The crew bores to them and sets the handholes if that is in the scope.

Are sweeps kept to the fiber's bend radius?+

Yes. Entry and exit angles are planned for it before the rig is set.

Do you pull the cable?+

The pathway is the scope; the cabling contractor pulls and terminates, or the two are coordinated on the same day.

How do I get a price?+
