Communications Drilling in Atlanta: what gets installed

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

Inside the city the obstacle is usually a street ATLDOT will not let anyone cut, a MARTA or rail crossing, a creek buffer or a parking deck; the rock is predictable and the permit is the long part of the job.

How a bore in Atlanta is done

The job in Atlanta 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, then reamed to size, and the product is pulled back through in one pass. Rock, when it shows up, changes the bit and the pace, not the method.

Hiring a communications drilling contractor in Atlanta

The crew that drills Atlanta should have put lines under this ground before; the rock, the roots and the permit agencies here are not the same as the next county over. Davis Underground Solutions, Inc. owns its rigs and crews, quotes from a site walk, and the estimate costs nothing.

Other drilling and boring services in Atlanta

Directional Drilling Atlanta

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 Atlanta

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 Atlanta

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 Atlanta

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 Atlanta

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 Atlanta

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

Underground Conduit Drilling Atlanta

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

Structured Cable Drilling Atlanta

Conduit between buildings for structured cabling, campus networks, security and controls, bored under courtyards, drives and parking rather than cut across them.

Utility Drilling Atlanta

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

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.

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 Atlanta

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