Underground and High Voltage Distribution

We have extensive experience installing direct buried cables and conduits up to 24-way concrete encased duct banks.  This includes control wiring up to 25kV distribution throughout universities, hospitals, manufacturing and office locations.  Customers include Rex Hospital (Raleigh, NC), UNC at Wilmington, KCST (Tarboro, NC), IBM (Research Triangle Park), N.C. State University, RDU Airport, and several others.  Our experience includes pole mounted transformers and cut-outs from utility substations down to buried manholes, PMH, PME transformers and sectionalizing switches, generators ranging in size from 5kW to 2MW.  Safety and coordination of shutdowns are priorities with this type of work; we maintain a high-voltage trailer with two Anderson tools and a Greenlee hydraulic crimp tool with die, an assortment of splice and termination kits, lugs, crimp sleeves, and numerous pairs of Class II gloves with up-to-date testing.  We have a wide range of concrete forming and placing experience for generators, switches, transformers, sidewalks, retaining walls, and stairwells.  Five backhoes, two dump trucks, one each of a boom truck, line truck, and bucket truck allow easy mobility to the job site.  Approximately 75% of our employees possess 3M certified splicing and terminating training.  Ten employees posses trenching and excavation competent person certification.  Projects in underground and medium voltage distribution have been completed in value up to $3 million.
