Directional Boring
Directional boring minimizes environmental disruption by installing pipelines beneath surfaces without extensive excavation. Our advanced equipment enables precise, long-distance installations for gas, water, and telecom lines. This method reduces project timelines and costs while maintaining site integrity.
Gas Pipeline Installation
We specialize in high- and low-pressure gas pipeline installation and repair using plastic or steel piping. Our team performs heat fusion, electrofusion, and mechanical joint fittings with DOT-certified welding capabilities. Emergency leak repairs and system upgrades ensure safety and compliance for residential and industrial clients.
Hydrovac Excavation
Hydrovac excavation uses high-pressure water and vacuum systems to safely expose underground utilities. This method prevents damage to existing infrastructure while enabling precise utility locating and pipeline installation. It accelerates project timelines and reduces repair risks.
Sewer Repair
Our sewer repair services utilize lateral launch cameras and hydrovac technology to diagnose and fix blockages or damage. We minimize disruption by employing trenchless methods for pipe replacement and perform emergency repairs within 24 hours to restore functionality.
Electrical Conduit Installation
We install electrical conduit systems using directional boring and traditional excavation methods. Our expertise includes concrete-encased ductbanks and materials like PVC, HDPE, and galvanized steel. Projects are completed with minimal disruption to commercial and industrial sites.
