Water in metro Atlanta is county business — big county systems pushing transmission and force mains across a growth arc that runs from Forsyth and Cherokee around to Henry. The crossings under widening arterials and the creek network are bore work, and the piedmont terrain adds a wrinkle flat metros never see: profile design on real grades, where entry and exit elevations can differ by a rig length.
We pull fused HDPE and fusible PVC with fusion certs in the submittal and testing to the county standard. Force mains get the profile treatment — verified rod-by-rod on grade-critical shots — because in rolling terrain a lazy vertical path builds air pockets the county owns forever.
Creek crossings in this metro often carry stream-buffer rules alongside the road authority; we flag the buffer question at scope so the erosion-control and variance clock is in the schedule from day one.
