Transportation Projects

Underground Utilities

Our extensive underground utilities teams collaborate with municipalities and private entities to deliver infrastructure and utility installations and upgrades, as well as subdivision development. With our diverse expertise, we enhance communities through road improvements, parking, sidewalk installations and upgrades, vegetation and water systems, and site restoration. We emphasize environmental protection and sustainable development by complying with environmental laws and permits, implementing site-specific Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) for each project. We complete the majority of the civil construction using our own resources and equipment, allowing us to control the critical path of the schedule, which provides schedule surety and allows trust to be built with Stakeholders, the public and the client’s team.
