Traffic Control & Design for Underground Utility Construction

Specialized Traffic Control Solutions for Excavation, Trenching & Directional Boring Projects

At Apex directional drilling, we provide professional Traffic Control and Traffic Design Services tailored to support complex underground utility projects, including excavation, trenching, directional boring, and open-cut utility installations. Our traffic control team works hand-in-hand with contractors, municipalities, and utility providers to ensure that all work is completed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with local and state regulations.

Our Traffic Control Services Include:

Traffic Control Plans (TCPs) & Permitting

We develop site-specific traffic control plans in accordance with MUTCD, Caltrans, and local agency requirements. We also handle traffic control permits, lane closure notifications, and coordination with city or county officials.

Flagging & Lane Closures

Certified traffic control technicians are available for lane closures, shoulder work, flagging operations, and temporary detours during underground utility installations such as:

  • Directional Boring / Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

  • Open Trench Excavation

  • Utility Potholing

  • Main Line Installation (Water, Sewer, Electric, Gas, Telecom)

✅

Barricades, Signage & Traffic Devices

We provide a full line of barricades, cones, arrow boards, detour signs, and electronic message boards to keep your job site compliant and your work zone safe.

Underground Utility Focused Traffic Design

Our team understands the unique challenges of utility infrastructure work. Whether you’re boring beneath a roadway or excavating in a high-traffic urban corridor, we help you minimize disruption while protecting both your crew and the public.

Why Our Traffic Control Services Stand Out:

  • Experience with complex urban intersections, school zones, and night work

  • Quick response and same-day plan submittals

  • Coordination with PG&E, AT&T, Comcast, CalWater, and more

  • Full compliance documentation and inspection support

  • Scalable traffic control teams for large trench jobs or single-day bores

Serving Contractors & Municipal Projects

We support private developers, general contractors, municipal utility agencies, and engineering firms with dependable, compliant traffic management. Whether it’s a week-long intersection bore or a multi-phase street trenching project, we have the team, tools, and expertise to keep traffic flowing and your schedule on track.
