Underground Drilling in Miami: what gets installed

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

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

The job in Miami starts before the rig arrives: the Sunshine 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 rock bit and tracked rod by rod, reamed, and the product is pulled back through in one pass; the rock drinks fluid and the vac truck keeps the pits clean.

Hiring a underground drilling contractor in Miami

The crew that drills Miami should have drilled Miami limestone with the water table at its feet before; the ground, the canals and the permit agencies here are not like anywhere else in the Southeast. Davis Underground Solutions, Inc. owns its rigs and crews and quotes from a site walk, and the estimate costs nothing.

Will the bore damage my driveway or landscaping in Miami?+

No. The surface between the two pits is never opened; the pits are small, the drilling fluid is contained with a vac truck, and the pits are restored when the line is in.

Other drilling and boring services in Miami

Directional Drilling Miami

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 Miami

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 Miami

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

Fiber Optic Cable Drilling Miami

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 Miami

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

Underground Conduit Drilling Miami

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

Structured Cable Drilling Miami

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

Utility Drilling Miami

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

Communications Drilling Miami

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

Missile Boring Miami

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 Miami

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 Miami

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