Gas carrier under I-25 south at Centennial
CDOT bore-and-jack with steel casing — MOT plan and South Arapahoe coordination.

Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Centennial, CO
Auger boring in Centennial for gravity sewer and gas crossings under I-25 south and E-470 — cased pushes through Arapahoe County expansive clay.
Auger Boring / Jack & Bore in Centennial, Colorado
Auger boring in Centennial drives steel casing for gravity sewer, gas carrier, and drainage conduit under I-25 south, E-470, and Arapahoe Road without disturbing embankments. Arapahoe County expansive clay requires careful advance rate management to prevent casing binding in shrink-swell zones — especially on summer jobs when desiccation cracks create inconsistent resistance.
CDOT I-25 south and E-470 authority templates specify bore-and-jack for active utility crossings — engineered submittal, casing diameter, and annular grouting specs scoped upfront. Dry Creek tributary adjacency on south-side alignments adds floodplain awareness.
South Arapahoe Water & Sanitation distribution corridor bores coordinate with utility owner in addition to CDOT and 811 processes.

Local Auger Boring / Jack & Bore Scenarios
Real Arapahoe County angles — not generic statewide copy.
Gravity sewer under E-470 approach
E-470 authority and CDOT coordination — grade-controlled bore through alluvial fill.
Drainage crossing under Arapahoe Road commercial block
Expansive clay — auger bore maintains grade through south-metro retail corridor.
South Arapahoe utility corridor crossing
Utility owner coordination and 811 clear — cased bore for carrier under right-of-way.
How Auger Boring / Jack & Bore Works in Centennial
Centennial auger boring starts with CDOT, E-470 authority, or city ROW confirmation and 811 clear. Expansive clay advance rate management standard — desiccation cracking on summer jobs requires torque monitoring. Grade laser-set before launch pit opens.
Soil & Geology — Arapahoe County
Arapahoe County expansive clay, sandy alluvium near Dry Creek and Cherry Creek, and compacted fill on E-470 corridor developments.
Centennial bores hit expansive clay on most residential grids, sandy alluvium near Dry Creek, and compacted E-470 corridor fill over native clay. South-metro clay behavior differs from north metro — shrink-swell cycles affect mud weight and pit shoring on summer jobs.
Weather & Scheduling
Eastern Arapahoe plains hail and summer heat push Centennial crews to plan lightning holds on exposed south-metro retail pads.
Summer heat and afternoon lightning affect exposed south-metro retail pads. Dry Creek spring runoff raises groundwater on south alignments. We communicate seasonal windows with your project schedule.
811 Locates & Permits in Centennial
City of Centennial Public Works, Arapahoe County ROW, CDOT I-25 south and E-470 relocations, Dry Creek floodplain adjacency.
City of Centennial handles permits inside city limits; Arapahoe County ROW applies on outer edges. CDOT I-25 and E-470 authority control state corridor bores. Dry Creek floodplain adjacency may add review on south alignments.
Trenchless vs Open-Cut Here
I-25 south and E-470 cutting is a non-starter for active utility crossings under both CDOT and E-470 authority templates — bore-and-jack required.
Casing size, drive length, pit depth, groundwater, rail or highway flagging, and welding inspection.
How we work
Our Process for Centennial 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.
