Services
Hydro-Excavation
Hydro-excavation uses pressurized water and industrial vacuums to safely remove soil for utility exposure. This non-destructive method prevents damage to underground infrastructure while handling depths exceeding 20 feet. Our fleet includes heaters for frozen ground operations and elevating tanks for efficient material disposal.
Pipeline Inspection
Our NASSCO-certified technicians perform detailed pipeline assessments using advanced CCTV cameras. Capable of inspecting pipes from 2" to 200" diameter, we identify structural defects, cross-connections, and obstructions in sewer, stormwater, and industrial piping systems.
Subsurface Utility Engineering
Subsurface Utility Engineering combines designating, potholing, and mapping to verify underground utility locations. Our engineers provide accurate data for construction planning, reducing risks of utility strikes during excavation projects.
Tank Cleaning
Using high-pressure hydro excavation equipment and industrial blowers, we clean lift stations and storage tanks up to 60 feet deep. Our specialized trucks remove accumulated solids and liquids while maintaining structural integrity of containment systems.
Line Locating
We employ inductive, conductive, and ground-penetrating radar methods to accurately map underground utilities. This service helps prevent accidental damage during construction projects by identifying precise locations of buried infrastructure.

Report
Planned to use their service on a very tight Critical Path project. They knew up front that we were expecting them to support us around the clock. They did not support us and will definitely not use them again. Terrible customer service.
