South Carolina work

From the coast to the upstate, South Carolina jobs share a pattern: a buried line must be located, reached safely, installed or repaired, and the surface restored the way the owner requires.

We work for the people who own or manage buried lines: municipal and county utilities, special purpose districts, developers, general contractors who need an underground subcontractor, industrial sites and private owners.

Matching the method to the site

A new water service across a lawn is usually trenched. A crossing beneath a state road may be better drilled. A repair beside a cluster of gas, power and fiber lines may start with hydro excavation so that each line is seen before anything else is dug. A sump full of sediment at a plant is a job for a vacuum truck. We ask enough about the site to recommend an approach, and the owner decides.

Before you request a quote

  • Note the address or the nearest intersection.
  • Describe the utility and the problem or the new connection needed.
  • Gather any plans, as-built drawings or permit conditions.
  • Say how the site is surfaced and whether traffic is involved.
