Services
Demolition Services
Shadco provides comprehensive demolition services for commercial and residential structures. Our process includes engineering surveys, utility identification, and systematic tear-down using hydraulic equipment and excavators. We handle material separation for recycling and waste disposal while maintaining strict safety protocols. With 20+ years of experience, our certified crews ensure efficient demolition with minimal environmental impact across Western Pennsylvania and surrounding regions.
Horizontal Directional Drilling
Our horizontal directional drilling (HDD) services install underground pipelines with minimal surface disruption. This method suits installations under roads, railroads, and waterways, handling pipes up to 12 inches in diameter. The three-stage process includes pilot hole drilling, pre-reaming, and pullback operations using steerable drill systems. This technique reduces environmental damage while maintaining installation accuracy for utility lines in challenging locations.
Hydro Excavation
Shadco's hydro excavation services use pressurized water and vacuum systems to safely expose underground utilities. This non-destructive method is ideal for daylighting, trenching, and frozen ground excavation. The process simultaneously cuts soil with water jets and removes debris through vacuum extraction, minimizing risk to workers and infrastructure. Our equipment operates effectively in winter conditions using heated water systems.
Pipeline Construction
We specialize in steel pipeline construction for industrial and municipal applications. Our services include installation, repair, welding, and excavation for gas, water, and sewer lines. With two decades of experience, our certified crews complete complex installations while maintaining environmental compliance. We handle projects across the Northeast United States, focusing on safety, precision, and adherence to project timelines.
Polyurethane Blocks
Shadco manufactures custom polyurethane column bearing blocks for cold storage construction. These closed-cell blocks provide superior insulation, waterproofing, and structural support. We produce blocks to exact specifications with pre-drilled anchor holes and cut-to-size dimensions. The material resists corrosion, works with standard construction materials, and meets environmental standards for sustainable building applications.
