Services
LED Upgrades
Our LED conversion services transform existing lighting systems to energy-efficient solutions that reduce power consumption by up to 50%. We specialize in municipal street lighting retrofits, commercial building interior upgrades, and sports field illumination enhancements. With lifetime workmanship warranties and compatibility testing for existing infrastructure, our upgrades deliver immediate visibility improvements while qualifying for utility rebates in most jurisdictions.
Street Lighting
We design, install, and maintain comprehensive street lighting systems for municipalities and private developments. Our services include pole integrity testing, stray voltage diagnostics, and full system replacements using modern energy-efficient fixtures. With specialized crews operating in Maryland, DC, and Virginia, we ensure compliance with local codes while improving nighttime visibility and community safety through optimized light distribution patterns.
Directional Drilling
Our horizontal directional drilling (HDD) services install underground conduits with minimal surface disruption. This trenchless technology enables efficient utility installation beneath roadways, waterways, and landscaped areas without requiring full excavation. With specialized HDD rigs and experienced operators, we complete projects up to 1,000 feet in length while maintaining precise depth control to protect existing infrastructure.
Sports Lighting
We provide complete sports field lighting solutions from initial design through installation and ongoing maintenance. Our services include photometric analysis for optimal light levels, pole placement engineering, and installation of LED systems that meet professional sports standards. With experience at venues ranging from high school stadiums to university complexes, we ensure uniform illumination while minimizing light spill into surrounding neighborhoods.
Light Pole Inspections
Our comprehensive pole inspection program identifies structural weaknesses, electrical hazards, and corrosion issues before failures occur. Using advanced testing equipment, we assess pole base integrity, anchor bolt condition, and grounding system effectiveness. Clients receive detailed reports with recommended maintenance actions and priority ratings to help budget for replacements while maintaining public safety.
