Services
Horizontal Directional Drilling
Our horizontal directional drilling service installs underground utilities with minimal surface disruption. Using advanced guidance systems, we bore precise pathways for conduits, pipes, or cables beneath roads, rivers, and sensitive areas. This method reduces environmental impact while maintaining structural integrity for projects ranging from telecommunications to pipeline installations.
Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation combines high-pressure water and vacuum systems to safely expose underground utilities. This non-destructive method prevents damage to existing infrastructure while ensuring worker safety. We use it for potholing, slot trenching, and daylighting services across utility maintenance and construction projects in Ontario and Alberta.
Manhole Rebuilds
Our manhole rebuild service restores aging wastewater infrastructure while maintaining system functionality. We replace deteriorated components through careful excavation and reconstruction, minimizing service interruptions. This specialized service extends asset life cycles and prevents costly failures in municipal and industrial sewer networks.
Fibre Splicing
Fibre optic cable splicing ensures seamless connectivity for telecommunications projects. Our certified technicians use precision equipment to join fibre strands with minimal signal loss. This service supports high-speed broadband deployments in rural and urban areas, meeting industry standards for performance and reliability.
Bridge Attachments
Bridge attachment services install conduits and cables along bridge structures using specialized equipment. We employ boom trucks with man baskets to safely mount infrastructure on bridge exteriors. This method ensures secure utility routing for power, communications, and monitoring systems without compromising structural integrity.

Report
This company is working on our street in Arthur for the city . I just redid my yard and gardens before they dug them up. They were so professional. Came back to seed and clean up. Fixed my garden exactly the way i had them. The site manager was constantly checking our yards to make sure they were remaining good. They brought me more seed for free so i could over seed. All the men that are working on schmidt rd right now are doing a great job. My yard caved in due to soooo much water. While they were digging.They were here the same morning repairing it. Looks great! Probably better than i had it
