When Conventional Equipment Cannot Reach the Site

Ocala Limestone karst and coastal coquina along corridors like I-95, SR-A1A, and US-98 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 Florida

Access Limited navigates Florida 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-95, SR-A1A, and US-98.

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 Florida — 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 Florida 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 Florida.

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.

Erosion Control for Water Infrastructure in Minnesota

I am sending this to you from Duluth Minnesota where 4 of your employees just finished working on a wall they had put in for us previously. That was a few years ago after Duluth suffered a flood. We are on Lake Superior and St. Louis County wanted to help stop erosion. The guys worked during the rain and just kept on going, like little Energizer bunnies. Nice fellows, all of them!! They are certainly a credit to your company and I feel it is always good to give thanks to people for a job well done. Please let them know how much we appreciated their dedication to get the job done. We will always wish you and your team good days ahead!!

Geohazard Mitigation for Transportation in the Mid-Atlantic

Hey Jennifer,

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed working with you guys on [our project]. Under the circumstances with that big of a job, and traffic volume that was being detoured it was a little stressful, however you all were so easy to work with, it made my job easier! Just wanted to thank you and Ryan for keeping me informed weekly and sometimes daily. Sara did an amazing job with the drill pattern and the engineering side of things. Kyle is one of the best superintendents I have worked with, he is good to his guys and got a lot of work done due to his ability to plan ahead and coordinate. Great experience for me and I really enjoyed working with you all, looking forward to our next job sometime. Please let everyone on the crew know that I really appreciate all their hard work, pleasure meeting everyone!

THANK YOU!”
