Services
Trenchless Technology
Our trenchless technology services enable underground construction with minimal surface disruption. Using advanced boring and pipe installation methods, we deliver precise solutions for pipelines, utility installations, and infrastructure rehabilitation. This approach reduces environmental impact while maintaining structural integrity for municipal and industrial clients.
Camera Inspection
NASSCO-certified technicians perform detailed pipe inspections using specialized camera systems. Our standardized assessment methodology identifies structural issues and maintenance needs in sewer lines, storm drains, and utility conduits. This non-destructive evaluation helps prioritize repairs and prevent system failures.
Utility Locating
We precisely locate existing utility lines including gas, electric, water, and telecommunications infrastructure. Our advanced detection equipment prevents damage during excavation while ensuring safe project execution. This service supports accurate planning for new construction and infrastructure upgrades.
Pipe Bursting
Our pipe bursting technology replaces aging pipelines without extensive excavation. Using controlled bursting heads, we break existing pipes while simultaneously installing new high-density polyethylene lines. This method maintains service continuity while upgrading infrastructure with minimal surface disruption.
Drilled Shafts
We create deep foundation elements through drilled shaft construction for structural support and groundwater control. Our specialized equipment handles challenging soil conditions while maintaining dimensional accuracy. Applications include building foundations, tower installations, and excavation support systems.
