Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Moore, OK
Jack and bore casing on Moore I-35 approaches — straight steel when ODOT specs require grade on Cleveland County clay.
Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Moore, Oklahoma
Auger boring in Moore fits ODOT casing templates on I-35 approaches and straight storm throats where jack-and-bore grade beats steerable tolerance. Shored pits in shrink-swell clay; dewatering on low eastern approaches.
Directional drilling in Moore handles curved slab laterals and Eastern HDPE — auger wins on highway casing detail.
Infill builder street crossings may specify casing under future pavement — plan set decides.

How Auger Boring / Jack & Bore Works in Moore
Moore auger bore sets shored pits on line after locates. Casing advances; ODOT or city inspection. Reception for grout and pull.
Soil & Geology — Cleveland County
Cleveland County red clay and Garber sandstone — slab-on-grade neighborhoods with PVC laterals heaving under circular drives and berms.
Moore bores hit shrink-swell red clay with Garber sandstone lenses toward the east. Slab neighborhoods dominate — lateral failures under drives are the residential norm, not exception. Saturated clay after spring storms softens ROW and can delay entry pits. Sandstone slows penetration without correct tooling on eastern approaches.
Weather & Scheduling
Tornado alley exposure, hail, and rapid clay wet-dry cycles — post-storm saturated ROW delays pits on rebuilt subdivisions.
Tornado season and hail drive Moore calendar caution — lightning holds stop rigs. Spring rain saturates clay; summer heat affects I-35 pulls. We schedule around known storm softening instead of forcing pits into unstable ROW.
811 Locates & Permits in Moore
City of Moore Engineering, Cleveland County ROW, ODOT I-35 corridor permits on state frontage.
City of Moore permits cuts and drive work inside limits. Cleveland County ROW on rural south approaches. ODOT District 4 on I-35 bores — MOT common. Rebuilt subdivisions may have HOA landscape standards — trenchless reduces scope versus open cut through front yards.
Trenchless vs Open-Cut Here

How we work
Our Process for Moore 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.
