Whether you need utility lines verified, a water main repaired, a new gas line installed or a storm drain unclogged, our field crews have the training, equipment and experience to exceed your expectations.
Horizontal directional drilling removes the need for excavation services or open cut trenching, while providing minimal disruption to the surrounding area. This method is popular for drilling under trees, roads, driveways, parking lots, rivers, and buildings. It's universal application makes it the smart choice for installing all the utilities on a job site.
Our expertly trained and qualified crew is experienced in fusing high-denisty polyethylene (HDPE) pipes 1'' to 24'' in diameter for natural gas, water, sanitary and various other utilities. We also provide sidewall, branch saddles, tapping tees, socket fusion, electrofusion, and extrusion welding applications.
Looking for a trenchless way to replace a pipe? Pipe bursting is the ideal method to replace pipe with minimal disruption to landscape, driveways, sidewalks and traffic. It also reduces risk of damaging underground utilities and injury to workers. We have the expertise and equipment to safely perform this method of pipe replacement.
We provide safe, efficient, and effective vacuum excavation services (air and hydro) that can access hard-to-reach areas. Vacuum excavation is the perfect method to locate and protect surrounding underground pipes during the project. It also helps safeguard workers and greatly reduces the footprint of the job site.
When we need to install steel sleeve pipes and/or casing ducts through loose ground or embankments under railways, rivers, structures or roads, we utilize pipe ramming. This trenchless method is done from a pit. It's versatile as it can be used for angled and horizontal applications. It can also be used to assist with directional drilling.
Sometimes it is necessary to open the surface for pipeline installation or repair. Open cut when the ground is excavated to the depth needed for the installation or to the exposed pipeline. Our crew performs this method of traditional trenching as quickly as possible to reduce the disruption to traffic and pedestrians.
We offer a number of applications to install pipes safely and efficiently. When it comes to pipe installation for state roads, country roads and railroads, we utilize jack and bore (or auger boring). This method is used for pipe installation that requires no annular space exposure and does not disturb the landscape or road. We drill horizontally between two pits (sending and receiving) to make way for the new pipe.
