Founded in 1834 and named after Rome, Italy, the city has a rich heritage that includes its role as a pivotal site during the American Civil War, with numerous historical landmarks such as the Rome Historic District and the Myrtle Hill Cemetery reflecting its storied past. The climate in Rome is characterized by a humid subtropical environment, featuring hot summers with average temperatures ranging from the mid-80s to low 90s Fahrenheit and mild winters, where temperatures typically hover between the 40s and 60s, allowing for a diverse range of seasonal activities throughout the year. As of the latest estimates, Rome boasts a population of approximately 36,000 residents, showcasing a diverse demographic makeup that includes a mix of various ethnicities and age groups, contributing to the city’s vibrant community life.

Economically, Rome is supported by a robust mix of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, education, and retail, with major employers such as the Rome Regional Health System, the University of North Georgia’s Rome campus, and several defense contractors playing significant roles in the local economy. The presence of these sectors not only provides ample employment opportunities but also fosters a resilient economic environment that supports growth and innovation. Educationally, Rome is home to several institutions of higher learning, including Berry College, renowned for its expansive campus and liberal arts programs, and the aforementioned University of North Georgia campus, which offers a range of undergraduate and graduate programs, contributing to the city’s reputation as an educational hub in the region. Infrastructure in Rome is well-developed, featuring a network of highways such as Interstate 75 and Interstate 20 that facilitate regional and national connectivity, alongside local roads that ensure efficient intra-city travel.

Directional Drilling, In Depth

Techniques & Technologies

At Boring Bros, we specialize in providing state-of-the-art directional drilling services locally. Our expertise allows us to navigate complex underground terrains with precision, ensuring that your utility lines, pipelines, and other subterranean installations are completed efficiently and safely. Directional drilling, also known as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), is a minimally invasive method that reduces the need for extensive excavation, making it an ideal solution for urban and environmentally sensitive areas. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and skilled professionals, we deliver projects that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability. Our directional drilling techniques are designed to accommodate a wide range of applications, from installing water and sewer lines to laying fiber optic cables and natural gas pipelines. By accurately steering the drill to follow a predetermined path, we minimize disruptions to existing infrastructure and the surrounding landscape. This method not only preserves the integrity of the environment but also shortens project timelines, allowing us to complete installations with minimal impact on your daily operations. Whether you're undertaking a large-scale commercial project or a critical residential installation, Boring Bros is equipped to handle your directional drilling needs with exceptional competence.

Benefits for Your Project

Opting for directional drilling services with Boring Bros in the area offers numerous advantages that set us apart from traditional excavation methods. One of the primary benefits is enhanced accuracy. Our advanced drilling equipment and precise guidance systems ensure that we follow the exact path required for your project, reducing the likelihood of errors and the need for costly corrections. This level of precision not only saves time but also ensures that your underground installations are placed exactly where they are needed. Additionally, directional drilling is significantly more cost-effective compared to conventional trenching. By minimizing the amount of soil disturbance and reducing the need for extensive land restoration, we help you achieve substantial savings in both labor and materials. This efficiency is particularly valuable in densely populated areas of the area, where minimizing surface disruption is crucial. Furthermore, directional drilling enhances safety by reducing the risks associated with large-scale excavation, protecting both workers and the public from potential hazards. Another key benefit is the environmental friendliness of directional drilling. Traditional excavation methods can lead to major landscape alterations, habitat disruption, and increased carbon footprints. In contrast, directional drilling preserves the natural state of the land, ensuring that ecosystems remain undisturbed and that the environmental impact is kept to a minimum. At Boring Bros, we are committed to sustainable practices, making directional drilling an environmentally responsible choice for your underground installation projects.

What Makes Boring in Rome Different

Every page says ‘state-of-the-art.’ In Rome the real variable is ridge-and-valley limestone where three rivers meet — here is what changes the work.

Three Rivers, One Downtown

Rome sits where the Etowah and Oostanaula make the Coosa — river crossings and floodplain work are local facts, and bores under the banks are how utilities cross.

Hill-Town Historic Core

Between the levees and the seven hills, downtown Rome's brick streets cover century-old services. Trenchless gets new capacity in without disturbing the old town.

Ridge, Valley & Rock

Rome sits in Georgia's ridge-and-valley country, where three rivers meet over limestone and shale rather than Piedmont granite. Karst voids and rock drive the bore plan here, so locating comes first.

Permits & Locates Are Not Optional

City of Rome for city right-of-way, Floyd County for county roads, and GDOT for the US-27 and GA-53 corridors. Georgia 811 locates are free and required by law before digging — we file the ticket and run our own GPR sweep on top of it.

How a Bore Actually Works

Six steps, in the order they happen on site.

1. Locate First

811 ticket plus our own GPR sweep — utilities marked before anything spins.

2. Plan the Path

Entry and exit pits, depth, and clearance from what is already down there.

3. Pilot Bore

A steerable head, tracked from the surface, corrected as it advances.

4. Ream

The pilot hole is enlarged to the diameter the product pipe needs.

5. Pullback

Conduit or pipe is pulled through in one continuous run.

6. Restore

Pits backfilled and compacted, surface restored — two pits, not an open cut across the site.

Who Is Actually Doing the Work

Boring Bros is run by brothers Aaron and Levi Cohen — you will usually be talking to an owner, not a call centre. Every crew on your job is a licensed, insured contractor (Boring Bros LLC, Florida Doc. L21000515203; certificate of insurance on request).

Recent Work From Our Crews

A sample of the work our crews run week to week around Rome — much of it as the bore-and-trench sub for generator installers, electrical and low-voltage contractors and GCs.

Standby generator install with directionally bored gas and electric lines

Standby Generator Hookups

Meter-to-generator gas lines and panel-to-pad electrical conduit for generator installers — 35 to 150 ft bored under finished driveways so the unit gets set the same week.

Fiber and low-voltage duct placed in a bored trench

Fiber & Low-Voltage Duct

Fiber and low-voltage duct runs for telecom and security contractors, bored between buildings and pull boxes so cabling drops straight in.

For Contractors & Builders

Most of our Rome work comes through other contractors — the bore is usually the part of your job that decides whether the schedule holds. Here is how to get a number fast.

Send Us This

•  Footage and product - pipe/conduit type and diameter
•  Entry and exit constraints, or a site plan
•  Utility prints if you have them
•  Your target window

You Get This

•  A real number, usually same day
•  COI and licensing documents up front
•  A crew scheduled around your project - we run several
•  811 ticket, GPR sweep and permits handled

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes – most of our Rome volume is subcontract work for generator installers, electrical and low-voltage contractors, and general contractors. We provide our certificate of insurance and licensing up front, coordinate with your PM on scheduling, and the bore shows up when the rest of your job needs it to.

Footage and product (pipe or conduit type and diameter), entry and exit constraints, and any utility prints or a site plan if you have them. With that we can usually turn a real number around the same day. No prints? Send the address and what you are installing and we will locate first.

In the public right-of-way, generally yes – City of Rome for city right-of-way, Floyd County for county roads, and GDOT for the US-27 and GA-53 corridors. We can pull the permit or work under yours, and work entirely on private property often needs none. We will tell you which applies.

Cost is driven by footage, diameter, depth, soil or rock, and site access – not a flat per-foot number anyone can honestly quote sight-unseen. We are set up to be the affordable option, and contractors who send plans and footage typically get a same-day number. Quotes are free.

We run multiple crews, so a small shot and a larger commercial run can happen in the same week. Typical residential-scale bores are done in a day; road crossings and long runs are scheduled around permitting, which is usually the long pole – not the drilling.

Always. Georgia 811 is free and required by state law at least two full business days before digging. We pull the ticket and still run our own GPR sweep on top of it.
