Utilities & Telecom Infrastructure Services

Whether it’s bringing power, water, or connectivity to the site, We Can Dig It Earthwork Solutions provides full-spectrum earthwork for utilities & telecommunications infrastructure. We manage the groundwork so your pipes, cables, poles, and fiber can run accurately, safely, and to spec.

What We Do

Here’s what you get when you engage us for Utilities & Telecom work:

  • Trenching & Backfill
    Digging trenches for cable, conduit, electric, water, sewer, fiber optic lines; restoring ground properly after installation.

  • Directional Boring & Plowing
    For places where trenching isn’t ideal (road crossings, subsurface obstacles), we use directional boring and plowing methods to minimize disruption.

  • Utility Pad & Pole Foundations
    Preparing stable, compacted pad foundations for transformer pads, utility boxes, telecom poles and towers.

  • Underground & Aerial Cable Installation Support
    Site preparation, access, and earthwork necessary for both buried utilities and poles or aerial cable runs.

  • Right-of-Way Preparation & Maintenance
    Clearing, grading, drainage, erosion control in ROWs; ensuring access for maintenance and future expansions.

  • Telecommunications Infrastructure Support
    Fiber duct burial, conduit installation, inner duct placement, cable pull trenches, and telecom pad site prep.

  • Stormwater / Drainage Integration
    Ensuring utility and telecom infrastructure doesn’t disrupt drainage or worsen erosion; integrating culverts, drainage ditches, and slope stabilization.

Why Choose Us

  • Experienced in Utilities & Telecom Projects — Our crews are skilled with the permitting, safety, and exacting needs of utility and telecom infrastructure.

  • Regulatory & Safety Compliance — We understand local codes, utility company specs, typical depth & clearance requirements, and Right-of-Way (ROW) regulations.

  • Right Equipment & Methods — From heavy excavation equipment to precision boring rigs, we use the right tool for the job to minimize damage, disruption, and cost.

  • Local Knowledge & Responsiveness — With deep roots in Southeast Texas / Southwest Louisiana, we know the soil, drainage behavior, weather, and what inspectors expect.

  • Transparent Planning & Execution — We work with accurate plans, mark existing utilities, communicate timelines, keep you apprised during the work.

Our Project Approach

  • Consultation & Planning: We assess drawings or site needs, survey utility and telecom requirements, locate existing utilities, determine best path or alignment.

  • Permitting / Utility Coordination: Coordinate with utility providers, telecom companies, obtain ROW and underground permits, ensure compliance with local authority requirements.

  • Site Preparation: Clearing, grading, erosion control, TR-O & site layout. Establish access, prepare pad or foundation, set slope or elevation.

  • Trenching / Boring / Conduit Work: Execute trenching or boring, lay conduit or duct bank, install poles or pedestals, integrate aerial or underground spans, backfill with proper compaction.

  • Restoration & Testing: Restore surface, compact soil, reseed or re-vegetate disturbed areas, conduct inspections and tests (like pipe/cable tension, line integrity), ensure drainage works.

Typical Projects & Use Cases

  • Fiber-to-Home (FTTH) network builds (fiber conduit, pull boxes, pole lines)

  • Electric, water, or sewer line installation or extension

  • Transformer/power pad or utility box pad construction

  • Utility pole or telecom tower pad foundations

  • Broadband cable runs and underground conduit networks

  • Road- or driveway crossings for utility installations

  • Right-of-Way trenching and installation through easements

Service Area

We serve: Orange, Beaumont, Vidor, Port Arthur, Bridge City, Texas and surrounding areas in Southeast Texas & Southwest Louisiana. Large telecom/utility company clients or projects outside that area considered with logistic planning. AVAILABLE TO TRAVEL NATIONWIDE FOR PROJECT BASED CONTRACTS.

FAQ

Do you locate existing utilities before digging?
Yes. We coordinate utility locates, one-call programs, and mark existing lines to avoid damage and ensure safety.

What depths / safety clearances are required for utility trenches?
Depths and clearances depend on utility type (electric, fiber, water, sewer), soil type, local code, and sometimes frost line. We design and execute to meet or exceed required specs.

Do you handle permits and rights-of-way acquisition?
Yes. We assist with permitting for underground and aerial utilities, coordinate with local authorities and utility/telecom providers, and help manage ROW requirements.

What methods do you use for limited access or hard terrain?
We use plowing, or other minimally invasive methods when trenching is impractical or prohibited (e.g. under roads, driveways, paved surfaces).
