Gas carrier under I-25 south at Castle Rock
CDOT bore-and-jack with steel casing — concurrent I-25 widening coordination and MOT plan.

Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Castle Rock, CO
Auger boring in Castle Rock for gravity sewer and gas crossings under I-25 south and Plum Creek levee structures — cased pushes through Douglas County clay and conglomerate.
Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Castle Rock, Colorado
Auger boring in Castle Rock drives steel casing for gravity sewer, gas carrier, and drainage conduit under I-25 south, Founders Parkway, and Plum Creek levee structures. Douglas County expansive clay on plateau grids and Castle Rock Conglomerate bedrock on hillside approaches require different tooling — hard-face auger heads and controlled advance rates on conglomerate shots.
CDOT I-25 south widening corridor specifies bore-and-jack for active utility crossings — engineered submittal, casing diameter, and annular grouting specs scoped upfront. Castle Rock's active I-25 construction concurrent with residential development often stacks permit layers on the same alignment.
Plum Creek levee bores require floodplain awareness and grade engineering — spring runoff adds seasonal awareness to south-corridor alignments.

Local Auger Boring / Jack & Bore Scenarios
Real Douglas County angles — not generic statewide copy.
Gravity sewer under Plum Creek levee road
Grade-controlled bore with spring runoff floodplain awareness.
Drainage crossing under Founders Parkway
Douglas County clay — auger bore maintains grade through commercial corridor.
Castle Rock Conglomerate road crossing on hillside
Hard-face auger head and reduced advance rate for conglomerate-bound crossing.
How Auger Boring / Jack & Bore Works in Castle Rock
Castle Rock auger boring starts with CDOT or Town of Castle Rock ROW confirmation and 811 clear. Conglomerate hillside shots use hard-face head and torque limit. I-25 concurrent construction coordination confirmed before mobilization. Grade laser-set before launch pit opens.
Soil & Geology — Douglas County
Douglas County expansive clay, Castle Rock Conglomerate rock outcrops, and Plum Creek alluvium — bedrock exposure on hillside approaches.
Castle Rock bores hit expansive clay on plateau grids, Castle Rock Conglomerate bedrock on hillside approaches, and Plum Creek alluvium near the corridor. Bedrock tooling requirements differ from clay — quoted per geotech when available.
Weather & Scheduling
Douglas County hail, freeze-thaw at elevation, and summer afternoon lightning push Castle Rock crews to plan seasonal clay heave and pit access on hillside lots.
Summer afternoon lightning is a standard hold point on exposed hillside pads. Winter freeze-thaw at Castle Rock's elevation affects clay heave and pit access. Spring Plum Creek runoff raises groundwater on south-side alignments.
811 Locates & Permits in Castle Rock
Town of Castle Rock Utilities, Douglas County ROW, CDOT I-25 south relocations, Plum Creek floodplain on many bore paths.
Town of Castle Rock handles permits inside town limits; Douglas County ROW applies on Crystal Valley and Metzler Ranch edges. CDOT I-25 south controls state corridor bores. Plum Creek floodplain work may need additional review.
Trenchless vs Open-Cut Here
I-25 south cutting is a CDOT non-starter for active utility crossings — bore-and-jack required. Open-cut fits Castle Rock plateau grids away from conglomerate outcrops where grade tolerance exists.
Casing size, drive length, pit depth, groundwater, rail or highway flagging, and welding inspection.
How we work
Our Process for Castle Rock Auger Boring / Jack & Bore
Scope & Site Walk
You share plans or describe the problem; we confirm alignment, depth, access, and which trenchless method fits Colorado soils.
811 Ticket & Marks
Colorado 811 ticket filed; wait period before pits open unless your permit path differs. We pothole where marks conflict.
Profile & Permits
Bore plan, CDOT or city ROW permits, railroad agreements, and crossing engineering when the path leaves private property.
Rig Mobilization
Compact spread for tight Boulder lots; larger HDD for I-25 or I-70 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 sandstone.
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.
