When Conventional Equipment Cannot Reach the Site

Blue Ridge gneiss and Piedmont granite along corridors like I-75, I-575, and GA-400 create slopes where conventional drill rigs cannot operate. Access Limited eliminates that constraint with Spider Excavators and rope-access crews.

Steep Slope Drilling Capabilities in Georgia

Access Limited navigates Georgia most challenging terrain with Spider Excavators and rope-access certified drilling crews — installing anchors, bolts, nails, and barrier foundations on slopes where conventional drill rigs cannot operate along corridors like I-75, I-575, and GA-400.

Spider Excavator Drilling

Spider Excavators walk on slopes exceeding 60 degrees — reaching work faces that would require road construction for any conventional rig. Access Limited operates the largest Spider Excavator fleet in North America.

Ropework Drilling

Rope-access certified drilling crews work on vertical and near-vertical faces across Georgia — drilling precise anchor patterns where no machine can be positioned.

Difficult Access Drilling

When the site is in a steep canyon or behind terrain that eliminates conventional access, difficult access drilling bridges the gap.

Remote Access Drilling

Some Georgia sites are hours from the nearest road. Remote access drilling deploys self-sufficient crews that traverse the terrain.

Purpose-Built Drill Rigs

Access Limited operates purpose-built limited access drill rigs fabricated for steep slope and confined conditions.

Steep slope drilling supports rockfall mitigation, slope stabilization, shoring, and ground improvement across Georgia.

How Access Limited Reaches Difficult Terrain

Every steep slope project starts with access assessment.

Step 1

Access Assessment

Engineers evaluate terrain, slope angle, and access constraints to select the right equipment.

Step 2

Drilling Plan

Hole locations, depths, angles, and equipment configuration are determined by the site.

Step 3

Spider Excavator Deployment

Spider Excavators walk to the work face — no access road required.

Step 4

Drilling Execution

Anchors, bolts, nails, and foundations installed to specification on the steep face.

Verification

Completed drilling verified against design specifications before handoff.

Positive Experience Working with Project Team

Justin, I wanted to reach out and let you know that is was a pleasure working with you all at the [….] Project. The guys on this job were very professional and never once wavered from the plans and specs.

Again, I appreciate your guys’ hard work and professionalism and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Slope Stabilization in Virginia

I’d like to take a moment and thank you for sending a great crew for the stabilization at [our site]. With the leadership of Dylan Battaglia and his crew, safety was always incorporated in each task that was performed. Dylan communicated each phase with [our company] and also gave great instruction to all his employees during the JSA process. Great job!

I’d like to ask if you could send the same crew back for the final phase of the project and wrap the project up in a positive manner. Thanks again for a job well done, and wish you and your family the best of the holidays. Please give your crew my best.

Professional and Cooperative Crew in New Mexico

Marty, I really appreciate all of your cooperation and the cooperation of your crew. They’re great people doing an amazing job. We have placed all of the first 4 rows with very little problems as of Saturday the 28th of March. These guys really deserve a pat on the back from my standpoint. I know they’ve performed a lot of work elsewhere but, this job is going amazing. You have a great crew and they know their jobs very well. The most standoutish part is that they get along on site great and perform in a very professional manner. Thank you for all your help Marty.
