Why it matters

The right rig beats the available rig

Most contractors run what they can rent, and sub out the specialty work. When the lot's picked over — and after a regional storm, it always is — they take what's left and hope it holds. We went a different way: we own and outfit our own specialty equipment, spec'd for the work we actually do and maintained by the people who depend on it.

For you, that means one call for the jobs that usually take three — the boring, the vacuum excavation, the hard-to-reach lift work — done by a crew that owns the gear and knows it cold.

And the gear doesn’t care whether the job is a substation or a ball field. Change the lights over a field at 105′, drill footings for a sign or a pole barn, pothole a buried line before you dig, or break out an old slab. You don’t have to be a utility to call us — the jobs other outfits have to rent for or turn down, we just do.

What you get

What this means for you

  • One contractor for the specialty work — boring, excavation, drilling, breaking, and lift jobs handled in-house instead of subbed out.
  • No waiting on rentals — our equipment is in our yard, not on a backorder list, even after a regional storm.
  • Reach most outfits don’t have — a 105′ bucket for lights and lifts that would otherwise need a crane.
  • Big holes, fast — a pressure digger that gets through ground a rented auger would quit on.
  • Maintained by the crews who run it, so breakdowns get caught early and uptime stays high.
  • 105′ bucket and digger derrick reach
  • Pressure digger through hardpan and rock
  • In-house owned and maintained, not rented
  • Zero major accidents since 2000
