Services
Pipeline Construction
We construct water and wastewater pipelines across five southeastern states using 64-inch Ductile Iron Pipe technology. Our crews install infrastructure for municipal systems and industrial facilities. Projects include pressure mains, gravity sewers, and cross-utility coordination.
Pump Station Construction
Our team builds custom pump stations for water treatment facilities and stormwater management systems. We handle mechanical, electrical, and control systems integration. Recent projects include the BMW Pump Station Replacement in Greer, SC.
Trenchless Boring
We employ horizontal directional drilling for underground utility installation with minimal surface disruption. This method suits road crossings, environmentally sensitive areas, and congested urban settings. Projects maintain precise depth and alignment control.
Underwater Construction
Specialized crews perform submerged infrastructure work including intake structures and pipeline crossings. We use diving teams and cofferdam systems to complete underwater repairs and new installations while maintaining safety standards.
Excavation Services
Our fleet handles large-scale grading, trenching, and site preparation for utility projects. We manage soil stabilization and shoring for deep excavations. Services support pipeline corridors, pump station foundations, and treatment plant expansions.
