- Electrical contractors needing dedicated excavation and trench support
- General contractors on new construction and tenant improvement projects

Our Electrical Conduit Process
Site Assessment
We begin with a full site review covering soil conditions, existing utility locations, required trench depth, conduit routing, and access constraints. We identify potential conflicts early and build a clear excavation plan before any equipment hits the ground.
Utility Marking and Potholing
Before any excavation begins we coordinate with 811 and perform vacuum potholing at key locations to verify the exact position of existing underground utilities. This protects existing infrastructure and keeps your project on schedule.
Precision Excavation
Our operators trench to exact depth and width specifications — clean sidewalls, consistent bedding, and proper grade throughout. We work efficiently on open sites and confined urban job sites alike, with equipment matched to each location's conditions.
Conduit Installation
Our licensed crews install conduit, pull boxes, and all related underground components to project specifications and all applicable NEC, LADWP, and Los Angeles County code requirements. We coordinate directly with your electrical contractor throughout installation to ensure proper routing and pull point placement.
Backfill and Restoration
Once conduit installation is complete and inspected we backfill, compact to required density, and fully restore the surface — including asphalt and concrete repairs where required.
