Overview

1998

Year of establishment

The company was established in downtown Chicago in 1998 to provide precision engineering in fast-paced utility environments.

Expanding eastward, it has earned licensure across nearly all U.S. states and became a go-to partner for urban infrastructure projects.
It joined forces with Quanta Services, reinforcing its capacity for large-scale utility design and coordination.
Renowned for subsurface utility engineering (SUE), it employs cutting-edge tools like 3D scanners, GPS surveying, laser scanning, and non-invasive excavation.
Typical projects span gas, electric, water, sewer, and telecom networks in both dense cities and rural areas.
From coordinating complex permit processes to offering on-site construction support, it ensures tight schedules are met with technical rigor.
Its reputation as a leader in utility infrastructure stems from standout projects across Chicago, Philadelphia, and beyond.
