Owner's specification first

Utility drilling is bigger rigs, longer shots, bigger pipe and an owner with a standard. A water main under Semoran Boulevard, a force main under a canal between two lakes, a gas main along a corridor that cannot be trenched, a signal duct bank under a CFX ramp. The bore is designed to the owner's depth, cover and product, drilled and tracked to that plan, and documented with an as-built the inspector signs.

Owners and agencies

OUC and Orange County Utilities for water and sewer, OUC and Duke Energy for power, TECO Peoples Gas for gas; Orange County, the City of Orlando, FDOT District 5, CFX and the railroads for the rights-of-way. Sunshine 811 first.

Ground

Sand with a shallow water table, clay lenses, limestone below, karst watched; dewatering is planned where a pit goes below the water table.

What the owner gets

A plan and profile for the permit, a crew that has drilled Florida sand before, product handled to spec (HDPE fusion, restrained-joint PVC, steel casing by auger bore where called for), a tracked bore with an as-built and restored pits.

Other drilling and boring services in Orange County

Directional Drilling Orange County

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.

Directional Boring Orange County

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 Orange County

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

Underground Conduit Drilling Orange County

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

Structured Cable Drilling Orange County

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

Communications Drilling Orange County

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.

Sewer, Water and Drain Lines Orange County

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