Additional Services in California
Site support services we provide alongside our drilling work.
Traffic Control
Lane closures, flagging and signage so crews can work safely in the right of way with minimal disruption to traffic.
Private Utility Locating
Locating buried private utilities ahead of drilling — the lines a public locate does not cover — to reduce the risk of a strike.
Hydroexcavation and Vac Truck Services
Hydroexcavation potholing and vacuum excavation to expose buried utilities without mechanical contact, then remove the spoil.
Asphalt Hot Patch Repair
Hot patch restoration of asphalt surfaces after coring and boring, leaving the work area close to how it was found.
