One Trench,
All Utilities

Every utility relocation project has the same core problem: too many owners, too little horizontal separation, and too many permits. We've managed those conflicts long enough to see every variation.

Gas Main Relocation

Gas distribution main relocation coordinated with the utility company — trench, bedding, backfill, and restoration. Work performed under live-system protocols with gas company oversight.

Electric & Telecom Conduit

Conduit bank installation for electric, cable, and fiber — trenching, sand bedding, conduit placement, pull boxes, and backfill per utility owner specifications and NESC separation requirements.

Water & Sewer Relocation

Water main and sewer relocation for road projects, building construction, and utility conflicts — installed to design grade, tested, and connected to the existing system before the trench is backfilled.

Utility Potholing & Locating

Vacuum excavation potholing to expose and verify existing utility depths and positions before excavation. All conflicts documented and reported to the design engineer before any installation begins.

Service Entrance Work

Individual service connections from utility mains to building entrances — gas services, water services, sewer services, and conduit runs to meter locations and transformer vaults.

Conflict Resolution

When existing utilities don't match the drawings, we diagnose the conflict, coordinate with the utility owner, and resolve it in the field — without stopping the project clock waiting for a design revision.

Conflict First,
Trench Second

Utility work in occupied corridors runs on information. The more you know about what's in the ground before excavation, the fewer surprises stop the job. We start with what's on the drawings and work backward from there.

Step 01
As-Built Review & Potholing

Existing utility records pulled and reconciled with field markings. Key conflict points potholed and surveyed before excavation begins. Any undocumented utilities reported to the engineer of record.

Step 02
Permit Sequencing

Permit requirements from each utility owner coordinated and sequenced — some owners require inspectors, others require hold points. We manage the schedule so one permit doesn't block another.

Step 03
Installation & Separation

Utilities installed in sequence from deepest to shallowest, maintaining minimum horizontal and vertical separations per utility owner specs. No improvised crossings or compressed separations.

Step 04
Testing & Acceptance

Each utility tested and accepted by the owner's representative before backfill. Pressure tests, continuity checks, and flow tests documented and submitted before the trench is closed.

Where We
Do It

Utility work shows up in every other project type we run. Road reconstruction, site development, pump station builds, and building construction all generate underground utility scope.

Road Reconstruction Utility Relocation

Utility relocation coordinated with or ahead of road reconstruction — water, sewer, gas, and conduit moved to final positions before pavement subbase is placed.

Site Development Utility Layouts

New utility infrastructure for commercial, industrial, and residential sites — extending municipal services to the building, coordinating with gas and electric companies for metering.

Building Demolition & Utility Removal

Utility abandonment and removal for demolition projects — service disconnects, cap-and-abandon procedures coordinated with each utility owner before demo work begins.

Urban Utility Consolidation

Multiple utility relocations consolidated into a single excavation sequence — avoiding the repeated cutting and patching that occurs when each utility owner excavates independently.

Emergency Utility Response

Emergency gas, water, and electric service restoration — excavation, repair, and backfill on an emergency timeline with coordination between the utility owner and local authorities.

Utility Separation Programs

Combined sewer / storm separation and utility corridor reorganization — installing new systems while keeping existing services live until the new system is ready for switch-over.

Coordinated
& Documented

Utility work is permit-heavy by nature. Every owner has a standard, every crossing has a minimum separation, and every test has an acceptance criterion. We know the requirements before we pick up a shovel.

Utility relocation work requires coordination with multiple permit authorities before a shovel goes in the ground. We handle permit applications, hold points, and inspector scheduling so the project sequence doesn't grind to a halt waiting on approvals.

As-built records maintained throughout. Every utility installed is tied in survey and submitted to the project engineer and utility owners before closeout.

One Crew,
All Utilities.

If your project has underground utility scope — water, sewer, gas, or conduit — we can handle it under one contract. Less coordination loss, fewer trench openings, cleaner restoration.
