For electrical contractors
You handle the electrical. We'll handle the underground.
TLT Construction Company self-performs the underground scope for electrical contractors: rock trenching, excavation, conduit, service and transformer routes, vaults, handholes, boring, potholing, concrete and restoration.

One bundled underground scope for the electrical contractor

Why bundle the underground with TLT
On a commercial, industrial or utility job, the underground often decides the schedule. Rock, crossings, conduit work and restoration each have a different crew, and every handoff between them is a place for the job to slip.
TLT has built underground utilities since 1979 and runs the work with its own crews. Rock trenchers cut the route, crews place conduit, vaults and handholes, boring crosses what trench cannot, and the same contractor restores the site. You schedule one contractor for the underground instead of coordinating several.
