Services
Directional Drilling
Our directional drilling services enable precise underground installations without disruptive excavation. Using advanced Vermeer equipment, we navigate beneath highways, rivers, and urban areas, ensuring minimal environmental impact while installing pipelines, conduits, and utilities efficiently.
Underground Installations
We specialize in underground utility installations, including water, sewer, and electrical lines. Our expertise with HDPE pipe up to 32" diameter ensures durable, leak-proof systems for residential, commercial, and municipal projects across the Maritime Provinces.
Pipe Fusion
Our pipe fusion services use butt and electric fusion methods to create seamless, pressure-resistant connections for HDPE and PVC pipes. This ensures long-lasting infrastructure for water, sewer, and industrial applications requiring maximum durability.
Snow Removal
During winter months, we provide contract snow removal and clearing services for residential and commercial properties in Sussex and surrounding areas, maintaining accessibility and safety during harsh weather conditions.
Retaining Walls
We construct durable retaining walls using concrete, brick, or stone to stabilize slopes and enhance property aesthetics. Our designs balance structural integrity with visual appeal for residential and commercial landscapes.
