Services
Concrete Light Pole Bases
Our cast-in-place concrete pole bases provide unmatched stability for parking lot lighting, stadium illumination, and signage. Using client specifications, we drill precise holes, install rebar cages, and pour concrete on-site to prevent tilting or leaning. The process includes utility location verification, formwork removal after proper curing, and finish options to enhance aesthetic appeal while maintaining structural integrity.
Electrical Trenching
We offer complete trenching solutions for electrical conduit installation, including excavation, backfilling, and compaction. Our crews handle pole-to-pole trenching, stub-outs from bases, and conduit installations with pull strings for easy wire placement. Services include labor, materials, and coordination with electrical contractors for seamless integration with lighting systems.
Protective Bollard Systems
Our protective bollard installations safeguard buildings, gas meters, and light poles from vehicular impact. We install both fixed and removable systems using 4-10 steel bollards, with options for locking mechanisms. The process includes site preparation, proper material selection, and installation techniques that ensure maximum protection and compliance with safety standards.
Concrete Finish Coating
Our epoxy-based concrete coating system protects light pole bases from weather damage and aesthetic degradation. The breathable formula prevents cracking and spalling caused by freeze-thaw cycles, maintaining structural integrity for over 12 years in field applications. The one-time application process creates a smooth, durable finish that enhances property appearance.
Stadium Lighting Piers
We specialize in installing concrete pier systems for Musco-style stadium lighting. Our team works with electrical contractors and general contractors to ensure precise alignment with engineering specifications. The process includes rebar cage fabrication, concrete pouring with vibration techniques, and coordination with lighting assembly crews for complete installation.
