Services
Directional Drilling
Directional drilling allows installation of underground utilities beneath roads, rivers, and sensitive areas with minimal surface disruption. Our advanced equipment steers drill heads precisely, enabling pipe installation up to 3,000 feet in length. This method protects landscapes while ensuring accurate placement for water mains, sewer lines, and storm drainage systems.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting replaces aging clay or cast iron pipes with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using pneumatic hammers. This trenchless method installs new pipes up to 36 inches in diameter along existing pathways, eliminating the need for extensive excavation while upgrading sewer and water main infrastructure efficiently.
Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation combines high-pressure water jets and vacuum systems for precise, non-destructive digging. Ideal for potholing utilities and sewer cleanouts, this method safely exposes underground lines without damaging surrounding structures, offering a controlled alternative to traditional excavation techniques.
Lift Station Installation
We design and install custom lift stations for wastewater management in challenging soil conditions. Our systems include durable pumps, control panels, and corrosion-resistant components, ensuring reliable operation for municipal and commercial applications while meeting environmental compliance standards.
Pipe Fusion
Pipe fusion creates seamless HDPE or fusible PVC pipelines using certified thermal welding processes. This technique produces leak-proof joints ideal for directional drilling and pipe bursting projects, offering long-term durability in water distribution and sewer rehabilitation applications.
