Horizontal Drilling in Orlando: what gets installed

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.

Inside the city limits a bore usually means a crossing under a brick street in a historic district, a tourist-corridor parking lot that cannot close, or a canal between two lakes. The City of Orlando permits its own rights-of-way; OUC marks the power and water.

How a bore in Orlando is done

On a typical Orlando job the crew sets an entry pit on one side of the obstruction and an exit pit on the other, 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 with a vac truck and restores the pits, usually the same day.

Hiring a horizontal drilling contractor in Orlando

Ask any contractor quoting Orlando work whether the rig, the crew 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 three and shows any Florida mobilization as one line on the estimate.
