HDD Boring
01
Trenchless Installation

HORIZONTAL
DIRECTIONAL DRILLING.

HDD is our core service — precision boring that installs underground utilities without tearing up your surface. We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, PG&E joint trench, road crossings, and long-haul runs under roads, railways, and waterways.

Every bore is planned with the DCI TeraTrak R1 GPS terrain mapping system, drilled by experienced operators, and tracked to the foot throughout the entire run.

Open Trench Excavation
02
When Trenchless Isn't the Answer

OPEN TRENCH
EXCAVATION.

Some projects require open trench — deep utility replacements, multiple utility installs in a shared corridor, or soil conditions that make boring impractical. When we trench, we do it right: OSHA-certified shoring, proper bedding, mechanical compaction, and full city-spec asphalt restoration.

We self-perform the full scope — saw cutting, excavation, shoring, utility install, backfill, compaction testing, and asphalt patch. One contractor, start to finish.

  • OSHA-Certified Competent Person On Every Job
  • Hydraulic & Timber Shoring Systems
  • Saw Cutting & Concrete Demolition
  • Mechanical Compaction & Testing
  • City-Spec Asphalt Restoration
  • T-Cut & Over-Cut Patching
  • Permit Documentation & As-Built Drawings

Hydrovac Excavation
03
Safe, Non-Destructive Excavation

HYDROVAC
EXCAVATION.

Hydrovac uses pressurized water and vacuum suction to excavate soil without the risk of damaging existing utilities. It's the safest way to expose underground infrastructure and the method we use on every project where conflicts exist.

We use hydrovac for utility daylighting, slot trenching in tight areas, bell hole excavation for pipe repairs, and debris removal from confined spaces. All slurry is transported to an approved disposal facility.

  • Utility Daylighting & Conflict Verification
  • Slot Trenching in Tight Access Areas
  • Bell Hole Excavation for Pipe Repairs
  • Root Exposure Without Tree Damage
  • Debris Removal from Confined Spaces
  • Slurry Transport to Approved Facility
  • Storm Drain & Catch Basin Cleaning

Utility Potholing
04
Pre-Bore Verification

UTILITY
POTHOLING.

Before any bore that crosses existing underground utilities, we pothole to physically confirm depth and alignment. This is non-negotiable — locate flags and as-built drawings are a starting point, but the only way to know exactly where a gas main or electric conduit sits is to daylight it.

Potholing is how we prevent crossbores, protect existing infrastructure, and keep our crews and the public safe. Every PG&E bore includes potholing at all conflict points as part of our standard process.

  • Pre-Bore Utility Conflict Verification
  • PG&E Crossbore Prevention Potholing
  • 3rd-Party Utility Locating Coordination
  • Depth & Alignment Confirmation
  • Pothole Documentation & Photographs
  • Emergency Potholing for Utility Strikes
  • USA 811 Coordination & Private Locating
