POWER IN THE GROUND.
GAS & UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR
Gas and power infrastructure built to utility spec, with every existing line found before we dig.
GAS AND POWER LEAVE NO ROOM FOR “CLOSE ENOUGH.”
We locate, pothole and hand dig in the tolerance zone, build to the utility’s standards, and have it ready for inspection the first time. Fast is good. Fast and right is the job.
FROM TRENCH TO TRANSFORMER
GAS LINES
Mains and service lines installed to gas utility standards
UNDERGROUND POWER
Conduit, wiring and connections under one contract
DUCT BANKS
Encased conduit runs for power and communications
JOINT TRENCH
Gas, power and fiber in one trench, sequenced and separated to spec
PADS & VAULTS
Transformer pads, switchgear pads and pull vaults
STREETLIGHTS
Conduit, pull boxes and light bases
LOCATES & POTHOLING
Every existing utility exposed and marked before excavation
UTILITY RELOCATIONS
Moving existing gas and power lines out of the way of new construction
WE TREAT EVERY LINE LIKE IT’S LIVE.
Most of what’s underground was put there by someone else, sometimes decades ago, sometimes not where the map says. So we call it in, pothole it, verify it and protect it before any bucket or shovel gets close. It’s slower for about ten minutes and faster for the rest of the job.
HOW A GAS OR POWER JOB RUNS
STEP 1
COORDINATE
Utility design, inspection and outage windows lined up before mobilization.
STEP 2
LOCATE & POTHOLE
Existing lines found and exposed.
STEP 3
INSTALL
Trench, bedding, conduit or pipe and separation built to utility spec.
STEP 4
INSPECT & CLOSE
Utility inspection, backfill, compaction and restoration.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Utilities, cities and developers. On new subdivisions and commercial sites we often build the joint trench for gas, power and fiber together.
-
Yes, through a licensed electrical partner. We build the underground system ourselves and manage the electrical work under one contract, so you have one schedule and one point of contact.
-
Yes, when the utilities allow it. Joint trench saves digging, time and restoration, and we build the separation each utility requires.
-
Blue Stakes locates on every job, potholing to verify, and hand digging inside the tolerance zone.
