Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Ardmore, OK
Jack and bore casing on Ardmore I-35 approaches — straight steel when ODOT District 8 specs require grade on Carter County fill.
Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Ardmore, Oklahoma
Auger boring in Ardmore fits ODOT casing templates on I-35 frontage and straight storm throats where jack-and-bore grade beats steerable tolerance on highway detail. Shored pits in red dirt; dewatering on Lake Murray low approaches after spring storms.
Directional drilling in Ardmore handles curved residential HDPE and Main Street duct banks — auger wins when the plan set shows straight casing with inspection hold points.
US-70 rural crossings may specify steel shell under future pavement — engineer decides jack versus HDD on curvature.

How Auger Boring / Jack & Bore Works in Ardmore
Ardmore auger bore sets shored pits on line after locates. Casing advances with ODOT or city inspection at hold points. Reception pit for grout and carrier pull — limestone bind without lubrication plan slows advance.
Soil & Geology — Carter County
Carter County red dirt, limestone, and sandstone with lake-bottom fill — harder southern profiles than eastern metro clay with groundwater on Murray approaches.
Ardmore bores encounter Carter County red dirt with limestone and sandstone lenses — penetration changes on I-35 commercial approaches and Lake Murray lowlands. Groundwater near the lake raises buoyancy risk on long HDPE pulls. Cross Timbers fringe adds intermittent rock sting without Lawton-style caliche dominance.
Weather & Scheduling
South-central heat and Cross Timbers humidity — summer dominates long I-35 pulls; spring storms soften lake-adjacent ROW around Lake Murray.
Summer heat dominates crew scheduling on long I-35 pulls. Spring storms soften lake-adjacent ROW briefly. Tourism-season traffic on Main and Noble affects MOT windows on commercial bores — we plan entry timing around weather and corridor use.
811 Locates & Permits in Ardmore
City of Ardmore Engineering, Carter County ROW, ODOT District 8 on I-35, Lake Murray flood and recreation rules on select routes.
City of Ardmore permits street and drive work inside limits. Carter County ROW on rural I-35 and US-70 approaches. ODOT District 8 controls state highway bores. Lake Murray shoreline work may need recreation and environmental review — scoped per alignment.
Trenchless vs Open-Cut Here
Jack on straight I-35 and US-70 obstacles where MOT already favors trenchless. Curved HDPE laterals and multi-duct Main Street shots use HDD.
Casing size, drive length, pit depth, groundwater, rail or highway flagging, and welding inspection.
How we work
Our Process for Ardmore Auger Boring / Jack & Bore
Scope & Site Walk
You share plans or describe the problem; we confirm alignment, depth, access, and which trenchless method fits Oklahoma soils.
811 Ticket & Marks
Oklahoma One-Call ticket filed; two business days minimum before pits open unless your permit path differs. We pothole where marks conflict.
Profile & Permits
Bore plan, ODOT or city ROW permits, railroad agreements, and crossing engineering when the path leaves private property.
Rig Mobilization
Compact spread for tight Edmond lots; larger HDD for I-35 or I-40 relocations — matched to length and diameter.
Pilot & Ream
Steered pilot on design line, ream passes sized for your pipe or casing, fluid program tuned for clay or sand lenses.
Pullback & Install
HDPE fusion, steel casing, or multi-duct bundle pulled with tension and bend-radius monitoring.
Test & As-Built
Pressure test, mandrel, or survey records for owners, inspectors, and operators as spec requires.
Restore & Closeout
Compact pits, replace sod or hardscape per scope, leave 811 ticket and locate map in your project file.
