Locate. Cut. Dig. Pourback.

One crew, one PO, one insurance cert — handling every subsurface job from the utility locate to the final pourback. Battery-electric excavator and skid loader mean we can dig inside your building. No diesel. No propane. No air scrubbers. No delays.

The full scope

Thirteen trades.
One crew. One PO.

Most GPR shops locate and leave. We stay on-site from the first scan to the final pourback — concrete cutting, coring, trenching, hydrovac, firecaulk, all of it. Battery-electric excavator + skid loader keep our carbon and noise footprint near zero, even inside occupied buildings.

01

Concrete Cutting, Coring, Wall Saw & Pourback

Track wall saw. Square cuts with clean corners — no rock hammers, no jagged edges. We haul away, backfill, and pourback to match. Asphalt sawcut too.

Cutting & coring
02

Battery-Electric Excavator & Skid Loader

One of the only battery mini-excavators running commercial work in the U.S. Zero emissions means we can dig inside hospitals, occupied offices, and clean rooms — no air scrubbers, no monitors, no shutdown.

03

GPR Concrete Scanning

Rebar, conduit, PT cables, voids — walls, floors, elevated slabs. 2D + 3D imaging before we cut.

GPR scanning
04

Private & Public Utility Locating

Beyond 811. Sewer, water, electric, gas, drainage, comms — marked and mapped before excavation.

Utility locating
05

Hydrovac Services & Potholing

Daylight utilities safely with high-pressure water. Confirm depth and material before mechanical excavation.

Hydrovac
06

Soil Trenching & Excavation

Trenches to transformer pads, plumbing routes, vaults. Recompaction and pourback to spec.

07

Fire Caulking — Hilti & STI Certified

Every core we cut gets firestopped with Hilti FS-One or STI SpecSeal. Documented, code-compliant, inspection-ready.

08

Pipe Camera CCTV — Robot & Push

Sewer and storm inspection with self-driving crawlers or push cameras. Locate blockages, breaks, and cross-bores.

09

Leak Detection

Acoustic + GPR leak-finding for slabs, pools, and pressurized water lines. Pinpoint before you break out.

10

Underground Storage Tank Location

Locate abandoned USTs, septic tanks, and forgotten vaults before your Phase II or foundation work.

UST location
11

Trench & Borehole Clearing

Pre-clear boreholes and trench lines for geotech, environmental, and structural drilling programs.

Borehole clearing
12

Bridge Deck Inspection

Reinforcement mapping, depth of cover, and corrosion detection for DOT and municipal bridges.

Bridge inspection
13

Geophysical Investigations

EM, seismic, and multi-method surveys for karst, voids, plumes, and forensic mapping. Also our catch-all for the unusual jobs — abandoned mine detection, forensic recovery, and one-off research work.

The one-stop shop · how a job actually runs

One phone call.
One crew from locate to firecaulk.

A vault install used to mean five different contractors, five insurance certs, and a week of finger-pointing. We handle the whole sequence in-house — from the street locate to the final firecaulk — on one PO.

Locate everything

Public + private utilities in the street mapped and marked before a single blade drops.

Sawcut asphalt

Clean lane cuts. Walk-behind saw or hand saw — minimal disturbance to adjacent pavement.

Dig / hydrovac to the vault

Battery excavator for tight or occupied jobs. Hydrovac when live utilities are in the way.

Core the vault

Diamond core saws through the vault wall. Sized to your conduit, cut to exact tolerance.

Trench to the transformer

Straight, spec-depth trenches. Recompaction to 95%. No re-mobilization for backfill.

Scan walls, floors, slabs

GPR before any interior cut. Rebar, PT, conduit, voids — all mapped before the blade touches concrete.

Track wall saw + pourback

Square cuts, clean corners for plumbing chases, floor boxes, and expansions. Then we pour it back.

Firecaulk every core

Hilti FS-One or STI SpecSeal at every penetration. Documented, code-compliant, inspection-ready.

The differentiator · no one else in AZ runs this fleet

A battery excavator that goes
where diesel can't.

We operate one of the only battery-electric mini excavators in commercial service in the country — paired with a matching battery skid loader. Zero emissions. Near-silent. Which means we dig inside occupied buildings, hospitals, and clean rooms while diesel crews are stuck outside.

  • Zero diesel, zero propane, zero fumes No air scrubbers. No CO monitors. No shutdown of the occupied floor above you.
  • Hospital-approved indoor excavation We've dug inside active healthcare facilities. Same for clean rooms, kitchens, and occupied Class-A offices.
  • Whisper-quiet on night shifts No engine roar means we can work through nighttime tenant hours without a noise variance.
  • Full-shift battery + fast-swap packs A charged crew doesn't wait on refueling trucks. Fewer trips in, fewer trips out.

The physics of the find

Radar hyperbolas don't lie.
Our techs read them fluently.

Ground-penetrating radar sends a short electromagnetic pulse into a surface and listens for the reflection. Anything with a different dielectric constant — a pipe, a rebar, a void, a shallow-buried body — returns a signature curve called a hyperbola. Our field engineers interpret those signatures in real time, mark the surface, and hand you a report you can hand to your crew.

  1. EmitAntenna pulses a 200–2600 MHz radio wave into the substrate.
  2. ReflectBuried objects with different dielectric properties bounce the signal back.
  3. InterpretOur field engineer reads the hyperbolic reflection pattern and marks the surface.
  4. ReportYou get a marked slab, an annotated PDF, and — for 3D — a color depth map.

Why GPR, not X-Ray

Faster. Safer. And nobody has to leave the room.

Concrete X-ray requires evacuating everyone within 25 feet and hours of setup. GPR is single-sided, radiation-free, and delivers a result in minutes.
