Nothing is so important that we will jeopardize the safety of our employees, our customers, or the communities where we work. At the start of any project, we make sure we know where existing utilities are located before construction is started. Our highly trained employees are provided with the needed information, guidelines and tools to keep our job sites safe; including PPE, standard WAP, Employee Handbook, OSHA Excavation Standard Handbook, and Employee Safety and Training Handbook.

Our full-time safety training manager visits every crew to ensure they are practicing appropriate safety measures, from proper signage and workwear to following guidelines set forth by OSHA, DOT, our customers, and our own company.
When we leave a job site for the day, we ensure it’s secured to keep the surrounding community from harm.
