Why the Capital Region needs careful excavation
Albany is one of the oldest cities in the country. Therefore, its streets hold layers of water, sewer, gas and electric lines. Many were installed long before modern records.
Meanwhile, energy and municipal projects keep adding new infrastructure. Each new line must pass the old ones safely.

Support for municipal and energy work
Municipal crews call us to locate services before a repair. For example, we pothole to confirm a water service material. Energy contractors call us for work inside substations.
In addition, we help engineers verify utilities during design. That information prevents change orders later.
What you can expect on site
First, we confirm the scope and the utility markings. Next, we dig only as much as the job requires. Our trucks dig holes as small as 4 inches wide and up to 40 feet deep.
Finally, spoils leave in the truck. Therefore, the site stays clean and restoration stays small.
Working through Albany winters
Frozen ground stops conventional digging. However, our trucks carry heated water, so we keep working. We serve Albany, Colonie, Latham, Guilderland, Delmar, Cohoes, Troy and Schenectady.
Additionally, we travel the I-87, I-90 and I-787 corridors for regional projects.
