Directional Boring in Atlanta, GA

Directional Boring in Atlanta: what gets installed

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

A bore in Atlanta is planned backward from the product: the bend the pipe can take, the cover the permit requires under the street or the creek, and the ground along the path set the entry angle and the length. One or more reaming passes open the pilot hole; the pipe or conduit is pulled back on the last pass with a swivel so it does not twist.

Hiring a directional boring contractor in Atlanta

Price in Atlanta comes down to the length of the bore, the size and material of the product, what it crosses, the cover the permit demands and whether there is rock. Send a sketch or the utility's drawing through the form on this page and Davis Underground Solutions, Inc. replies within 24 hours; or call (678) 264-3333 now, since estimates are free.
