Safety First // Every Jobsite
Know what'sbelow.
Underground work means working around live utilities. Our safety discipline is built on positive location, non-destructive exposure, and crews trained on the equipment they run.
The Protocol
Four pillars before we break ground
Positive Utility Location
The law requires positive location of existing utilities before excavation — no matter the method. Every utility we cross is verified for location and depth before work begins.
Hydro-Vac Potholing
Trailer-mounted Jet Vacs expose buried facilities with high-pressure water and vacuum instead of steel — an 8-inch hole, 10 feet deep, in as little as ten minutes with zero damage risk.
Trained, Tenured Crews
Working foremen with many years of underground experience and low turnover — plus one of the few in-house Ditch Witch directional boring simulators for continuous operator training.
Insured & Compliant
We meet all insurance requirements including general liability and workers compensation. Current coverage certificates available on request, customizable to your specifications.
Dig Safe Sequence
Locate. Expose. Verify. Build.
Locate

Verify

Build
Excavate, bore, or trench with verified clearance
Whether the method is backhoe, trencher, or directional bore machine — all utilities being crossed are verified first. It's the law, and it's how we've worked for 46 years.
