We replace and upgrade aging infrastructure while maintaining system continuity.

  • Main replacements (open cut and trenchless/insert methods)

  • Leak and break repairs for water and sewer lines

  • Valve, manhole, and structure repairs

  • Preventive maintenance programs and inspections

  • Planned shut-downs and tie-ins

Directional Drilling (HDD)

When open trenching isn’t practical, our directional drilling crews install utilities with minimal surface disturbance. This trenchless method is ideal for road crossings, sensitive areas, and congested corridors.

  • Roadway, railroad, and waterway crossings

  • Conduit installation for electric and communications

  • Reduced surface restoration and traffic disruption

  • Coordination with geotechnical conditions and existing utilities

Trenching & Open Cut Installation

For projects where open cut is the right approach, we provide safe, efficient trenching services. Our teams use proper shoring, benching, and protection methods to maintain a safe excavation and high-quality installation.

  • Trenching for main lines and services

  • Proper shoring and trench safety practices

  • Backfill, compaction, and site restoration

  • Coordination with inspectors and testing agencies

Utility Mapping and Locating

Accurate information is critical before any excavation begins. We support mapping and locating efforts so project teams understand what’s underground before they start digging.

  • Coordination with 811 and utility locate services

  • Field verification of existing utilities

  • As-built documentation support

  • Reduced risk of utility strikes and delays

Emergency Utility Response

When a line is damaged or service is interrupted, time matters. Our crews respond quickly to stabilize the site, coordinate with utility owners, and restore service safely.

  • Rapid mobilization for main breaks and failures

  • Temporary and permanent repairs

  • Coordination with first responders and utility providers

  • Focus on safety for crews and the public
