Supporting Local Communities for Any Utility Project
New utility services are installed underground every day on construction sites throughout North Texas, and while it’s a dirty job, someone has to do it. That’s because without water lines, you wouldn’t have clean, safe drinking water flowing to your restaurant or office facility. Without sewer lines, you’d have hazardous waste backing up into your yard or building. Electric lines and telecommunications and data cables keep you connected and make powering up your next project a breeze. That’s where One Shot Utilities in Rhome, TX, can help. Using our years of hands-on experience in underground utility and excavation services, we lay every type of pipe imaginable — no matter how simple or challenging the project may be — and we do it right every time.
Below is just a small sampling of the work we do. Don’t see a service that matches your project? Give us a call, and let’s talk.
UTILITY TRENCHING
Before new wet or dry utility services are installed or existing underground pipes or conduit can be accessed on a construction site, some form of trench digging must take place. This goes for any project, whether it’s commercial, residential, a large infrastructure site, schools, or something else entirely. Trenching is more than just digging a hole. It’s an excavation service where the area that’s been dug out has a depth that is longer than its width. This allows for safely installing underground lines, electrical hookups and tie-ins, and various drainage systems. Just a few of the underground utility services that can be performed with trenching include:
- Water, gas, sewer, electricity pipes and lines installation and repairs
- Drainage system design, installation, and repairs
- Underground utility exposure
- Fire lines and storm drainage
- Irrigation system installs and repairs
- Telecommunications and data cabling
- Pipelining or full-pipe replacement
CONDUIT & FIBER CONSTRUCTION
Conduits are rigid tubes or pipes placed underground, inside walls and ceilings, etc. They serve to protect electrical wires or cables as well as low voltage or fiber optic networks for TV, communication, telephone, data, air conditioning, refrigeration, fire alarms, etc. One Shot Utilities installs, wires, and assembles electrical systems in commercial and residential buildings that are partially complete to ensure wires are protected and safely tucked away before construction resumes. This includes underground needs as well as pulling the wires through the conduit to set up transformers, outlets, switches, circuit breakers, and fuse boxes.
MISSILE BORING
Missile boring is another popular excavation technique for underground utilities. But unlike trenching, which is performed when the construction site is open and clear, missile boring (also known as directional boring) is less invasive and involves drilling a tunnel for underground pipes and cables while at the same time minimizing damage to the site. One Shot Utilities is typically called in for missile boring services when builders experience a mishap on the job site. For example, concrete has already been poured, or a yard has been perfectly landscaped, and they now realize that they need to get under the sidewalk with minimal disruption as possible.
Missile boring is typically used for existing obstacles such as:
- Roadways and driveways
- Buildings
- Parking lots and sidewalks
- Existing landscaping
SMALL DEMOLITION
When appropriate, One Shot Utilities has the equipment and machinery necessary to tackle most small demolition jobs. This includes small houses and structures and anything similar that needs to be leveled to create an open and clear construction site. Demolition services are a growing piece of the underground utility and excavation services process, and you need a contractor who has the agility to handle any need that may arise. Call us today to discuss your small demolition needs.
FOUNDATION PIER FOOTINGS
Pier foundations utilize large-diameter cylindrical columns to add additional support to your commercial structure. We are typically called in during pre-construction to dig, install, and stabilize these piers to ensure the rest of the project runs as smoothly as possible.
WATER & SEWER LINE EXCAVATION
If anything underground breaks after a construction process is complete, whether it be a busted septic tank, broken water or sewer lines, or something else, or you need to install something new to the existing plumbing, excavation services come in mighty handy in terms of getting the job done. At One Shot Utilities, we offer superior water and sewer line excavation services that are both safe and efficient. We remove rock and soil with mechanical excavation shovels and front-end loaders. But when necessary, we can manually shovel the area to avoid damaging existing pipes or get to hard-to-reach areas when mechanical equipment can’t.
ROCK TRENCHING
Sometimes, an underground utility and excavation project calls for digging narrow or deep trenches in extremely hard, rocky conditions. This is where rock trenching comes into play. With rock trenching, the experts at One Shot Utilities use digging chains, hydraulic breakers, and other specialty equipment and machinery to cut through everything from several layers of pavement, solid rock, and other difficult terrain to facilitate proper laying of conduit and pipeline.
Rock trenching is far more efficient than traditional trenching methods when digging through the hardest of ground.
