Services
Underground Contracting
Our underground contracting division handles complete infrastructure solutions including directional boring, conduit installation, and manhole repairs. With equipment capable of 40' depths and 48" diameter installations, we execute complex projects while maintaining MISS-DIG compliance. Specialized crews ensure minimal surface disruption through precision hydro-vac excavation techniques.
Fiber Optic Installation
We design and implement secure fiber optic networks for municipalities and transportation departments. Services include end-to-end installation, fusion splicing, and maintenance of single-mode/multimode systems. Our expertise extends to wireless node integration and video surveillance infrastructure with over 300 miles of deployed fiber networks across Michigan.
Traffic Signal Services
Comprehensive traffic signal solutions from installation to 24/7 maintenance. Our certified technicians program controllers, install vehicle detection systems, and perform fault diagnostics on all signal types. We maintain annual/monthly service programs for municipalities while supporting MDOT's transportation technology requirements.
Electrical Maintenance
Industrial and commercial electrical services include control wiring, street lighting, and high-altitude aerial work up to 105'. Our licensed electricians handle both preventive maintenance and emergency repairs for primary power systems, ensuring compliance with OSHA safety standards and NEC codes.
Hydro-Vac Excavation
Precision hydro-vacuum excavation services safely expose underground utilities without damaging existing infrastructure. This non-mechanical method uses high-pressure water and vacuum systems for accurate daylighting of pipes and cables, reducing risk in sensitive utility environments.
