60% Less Surface Disruption

    Underground Construction Services

    Expert directional drilling, trenching, and micro-trenching solutions for telecommunications infrastructure. We deliver precision underground installations with minimal disruption to communities and existing utilities.

    What We Offer

    Comprehensive underground construction capabilities tailored to meet the demands of modern telecommunications infrastructure projects.

    Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

    Our HDD services provide trenchless installation of underground utilities, minimizing surface disruption while ensuring precise bore paths. We utilize state-of-the-art drilling equipment capable of handling complex soil conditions and varying depths up to 50 feet. HDD is ideal for crossing under roadways, rivers, and existing infrastructure without excavation.

    Open-Cut Trenching

    Traditional open-cut trenching remains the most cost-effective solution for many underground installations. Our experienced crews execute precise trenching operations with proper depth control, backfill compaction, and surface restoration. We coordinate with local utilities and municipalities to ensure safe, compliant excavation.

    Micro-Trenching

    Micro-trenching offers a minimally invasive approach for fiber deployment in urban environments. Using specialized equipment, we create narrow trenches (typically 0.5-1.5 inches wide) in asphalt or concrete surfaces, allowing rapid fiber installation with minimal traffic disruption and faster restoration compared to traditional methods.

    Plow Services

    Efficient vibratory plow operations for direct burial cable installation. Our plow services provide rapid underground cable placement with minimal surface disruption, making it ideal for rural and suburban fiber deployments where conditions allow for direct burial methods.

    Missile Services

    Pneumatic missile boring for short-distance underground crossings. Our missile services are perfect for driveway and sidewalk crossings, providing a cost-effective alternative to directional drilling for installations requiring minimal bore lengths.

    Field Auditing

    Comprehensive field auditing services to verify construction quality and compliance. Our auditing team performs detailed inspections of underground installations, documenting as-built conditions, verifying depth requirements, and ensuring all work meets project specifications and industry standards.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Get answers to common questions about our underground construction services.

    Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trenchless construction method that installs underground utilities without extensive excavation. It's ideal when you need to cross beneath obstacles like roads, rivers, or existing structures. HDD involves drilling a pilot hole along a planned path, then enlarging it and pulling the utility conduit through. This method minimizes surface disruption, reduces restoration costs, and is often faster than traditional open-cut methods.
