Services
Air/Vacuum Excavation
Our air/vacuum excavation technology safely exposes underground utilities without damaging infrastructure. Using supersonic air systems, we create precise potholes for utility verification while maintaining dry conditions for easy backfilling. This non-destructive method eliminates risks associated with traditional digging techniques while providing faster, cleaner results for construction projects.
Subsurface Utility Engineering
As a Quality Level A SUE provider, we deliver the highest accuracy in utility mapping. Our process combines geophysical methods with non-destructive excavation to identify exact utility locations, types, and conditions. This critical data helps prevent costly design changes and construction delays while ensuring project safety and compliance with federal regulations.
Ground Penetrating Radar
We utilize GSSI UtilityScan systems to create detailed subsurface images for utility detection. This technology identifies metallic and non-metallic utilities including gas lines, water pipes, and underground storage tanks. Our GPR services provide essential data for project planning while reducing risks associated with unknown underground infrastructure.
Emergency Response
Our emergency response team provides immediate utility locating and excavation solutions for urgent situations. Available 24 hours a day, we address critical infrastructure needs with the same precision and safety standards as our regular operations, ensuring minimal project disruption while maintaining strict compliance with safety protocols.
Storm Drain Cleaning
We offer comprehensive drainage system maintenance using vacuum excavation technology. Our services include catch basin cleaning, storm drain clearing, and vault maintenance to ensure proper water flow and prevent infrastructure damage. This specialized service maintains system functionality while adhering to environmental safety standards.
