Underground Utility Contractor in Port St. Lucie, FL

Spread-out sites and longer services

When a city's homes and businesses are spread over a wide area, the distance between a public main and the building it serves can be longer than in a compact city, and new development often means extending mains to reach new lots. Both raise the same practical questions about route, crossings and restoration.

For a long service or an extension, we need to understand:

• the starting point, usually a main, a valve or a manhole, and the end point at the building;
• what the route passes under: driveways, roads, sidewalks, landscaping, drainage swales;
• what other utilities run along or across it;
• the owner's specification for materials, depth and restoration.

With that, the choice between open trenching and directional drilling, or a combination, becomes clearer. Drilling is often considered for crossings beneath drives and roads; trenching suits open ground.

We work for homeowners, builders, developers, businesses and public owners.
