Services
Gas Distribution Construction
We design and build gas distribution networks including mains, service lines, and metering stations. Our team handles pipeline replacements, leak detection, and cathodic protection systems. With certified welders and advanced trenching techniques, we ensure safe, durable installations that meet federal safety standards while minimizing environmental impact.
Water Main Installation
Our water main construction services include complete system installation from source to distribution points. We handle valve placement, hydrant installation, and pressure management systems. Using modern pipe materials and leak detection technology, we create efficient networks that ensure reliable water delivery while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations.
Sewer Rehabilitation
We specialize in upgrading aging sewer systems through trenchless technologies and traditional excavation methods. Our services include manhole rehabilitation, pipe bursting, and stormwater management solutions. We implement durable materials and corrosion-resistant coatings to extend infrastructure lifespan while improving system efficiency and reducing environmental risks.
Directional Boring
Our directional drilling capabilities enable minimal-impact utility installation beneath roads, rivers, and structures. This method preserves surface conditions while installing pipelines for gas, water, and communication lines. Our experienced operators use precision guidance systems to achieve accurate bore paths up to required depths and lengths.
Vacuum Excavation
We employ hydro and air excavation methods for safe, precise utility locating and potholing. This non-mechanical approach prevents damage to existing underground infrastructure while exposing lines for inspection or connection. Our vacuum systems efficiently remove soil while maintaining job site cleanliness and safety.
