Planning through a crowded county

An underground bore in Miami-Dade is drawn before the rig arrives: deep enough to clear FPL's duct banks, WASD's mains and the fiber already in the right-of-way, shallow enough to surface where the pipe must, curved to stay inside the easement, and at the cover the permit sets under the street or the canal. The crew drills to that drawing and tracks the head every rod, so the owner gets an as-built that says where the line is and what it passed under.

What the locate cannot see

Sunshine 811 marks the public utilities. High-rise sites, condo campuses, older neighborhoods and industrial yards carry private lines nobody marked. The crew walks the site, potholes every crossing and changes the plan before the bore.

Ground

Limestone a foot or two down on the ridge, marl and peat to the west, water at the surface everywhere; a rock bit, a fluid plan for porous rock and a vac truck on every job.

Crossings and agencies

I-95, the Palmetto, the Dolphin and the Turnpike extension, US 1 and Biscayne Boulevard, Metrorail, the FEC and CSX corridors, and the C-canals; permitted by FDOT District 6, GMX, Miami-Dade County, the district, the railroads and the 34 cities as the crossing requires.

The contractor
