Rock/cobble will run it way up. Depth is not a huge issue. Having to pothole
100 times in a 500’ bore job is a huge pain.
No rocks in Illinois, right?
You can do this with a crew of 2 but best if you have 2 guys for potholing out
ahead of the drill, then at least two, one to run the drill and one to run the
tracker. Good to have a fifth guy running the water/mud truck. So 2-5 guys.
One guy can do it all by himself with the underground magnetics “drill to box”
package. You set the locator out ahead of the drill and the remote display
tells you how to steer to the locator. We have never done it but I am pretty
sure we could do it if we tried.

What drives that rate up? big crews? big wage? depth of bore? a lot of
obstruction? drilling through stone? is the cost of operating high, licensing,
permitting, prevailing wage, union crews? Ive seen numbers all over the place,
I know theres a ton of variables that can impact it, just trying to understand
it better.

I've paid anywhere from $8.50 - $14. I'm looking to bring it in-house for
our next larger project because of how high that is.

whether it be crewed or contracted, where do you sit rule of thumb on
footage expectations on average. I know conditions, soil types, all that have a
factor to play, but where do you start to cringe on production? ducted fiber,
direct bury, city and rural.
What you contracted comfort zone per foot on each? how low per foot before
you get suspicious, (as in some guy coming in telling you he can put in for you
at 10 cents a foot in downtown chicago)
Im looking for numbers excluding the material since that can vary more than
soil type
