Directional Boring Â· Miami-Dade County

Directional Boring in Miami, FL

Miami work for a drilling crew is the line that has to cross something it cannot cut through: a county road, a canal, a seawall lot, the FEC. A pit at each end, a steered bore through the rock between them, and the pipe or conduit is pulled back through with the surface untouched.

Directional Boring in Miami: 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.

In the City of Miami the obstacle is usually pavement that cannot close, a seawall, a Metrorail or FEC crossing, or a canal; the rock under all of it is predictable, and the permit is the long part of the job.

How a bore in Miami is done

On a typical Miami job the crew sets an entry pit on one side of the obstruction and an exit pit on the other, dewaters both, confirms the 811 marks, potholes any crossing utility, drills the pilot bore with a walkover locator reading the head every rod, reams, pulls the line in, recovers the fluid and restores the pits, usually the same day on a short run.

Hiring a directional boring contractor in Miami

Ask any contractor quoting Miami work whether the rig, the crew, the rock tooling and the locating gear are their own, who files the 811 ticket and the crossing permit, and whether the estimate is free. Davis Underground Solutions, Inc. answers yes to all of it and shows any Florida mobilization as one line on the estimate.

Is there a charge to come out to Miami?+

Florida work carries a mobilization line since the rigs are based in Georgia, and Miami is the longest trip; it is shown on the estimate, several bores on one trip share it, and the estimate itself is free. Call (855) 520-2670 now or use the form.
