Services
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting replaces damaged sewer lines without excavation by breaking old pipes while installing new HDPE replacements. This method reduces surface disruption, lowers costs, and completes installations in tight spaces. Ideal for rocky conditions, it offers faster turnaround with minimal environmental impact compared to traditional trenching methods.
Rock Trenching
Our rock trenching uses specialized chain trenchers to cut through solid rock for utility conduit installation. This method provides precise, deep trenches in challenging terrain while maintaining environmental integrity. It outperforms drill-and-blast techniques with lower vibration and reduced restoration needs for water, gas, and telecom infrastructure projects.
Slinger Trucks
Slinger trucks efficiently spread loose materials up to 100 feet using conveyor systems. This method reduces labor costs, improves accuracy in hard-to-reach areas, and accelerates project timelines. Ideal for road construction and site development where traditional equipment cannot access confined spaces effectively.
Underground Utilities
We install and maintain underground systems for water, sewer, electrical, and communication networks. Our expertise handles projects in rocky terrain using appropriate excavation methods. Services include pipeline replacement, conduit installation, and system upgrades for municipal and private clients requiring durable, code-compliant infrastructure solutions.
