Boring under a road in Alabama requires the right equipment, permits, and expertise. This step-by-step guide explains the process from planning to completion for road-crossing utility bores.

Step 1: Plan the Bore Path and Depth

Before any boring begins, the utility route must be planned and the bore path designed to achieve adequate depth below the road pavement and subgrade. ALDOT and county requirements specify minimum cover depths for different utility types. A geotechnical investigation may be needed to understand soil conditions.

Step 2: Obtain Required Permits

Road-crossing utility bores in Alabama require permits from ALDOT (for state highways), county engineering departments (for county roads), or city public works (for city streets). Boring Bros LLC handles the permit application process for all Alabama road boring projects.

Step 3: Locate All Underground Utilities

Call 811 before any boring begins. Boring Bros LLC also offers GPR utility locating for comprehensive subsurface scanning before boring begins.
