Benefits of Underground Power Systems
Underground power systems offer several long-term advantages for public infrastructure and private developments.
Key benefits include:
- Improved reliability: Protected from wind, ice, and falling debris, reducing outages and service calls
- Enhanced aesthetics: No visible poles or overhead wires, creating a cleaner look for streets and developments
- Increased public safety: Reduces the risk of electrocution or downed lines in high-traffic or storm-prone areas
- Lower maintenance costs: Less wear and tear compared to overhead lines, resulting in fewer emergency repairs
- Better use of space: Ideal for developments with limited vertical clearance or aesthetic zoning requirements
We design and install underground systems that comply with local codes and support long-term grid stability.

How Do You Prevent Line Strikes During Excavation?
Preventing utility line strikes requires careful preparation and teamwork. Before we begin digging, we ensure that we identify and mark the locations of all utility lines in the area. This step is crucial to prevent damaging important lines, such as gas, water, or electricity.
Our team uses accurate cable locators, applies clear and visible markings, and relies on trained operators who understand how to dig safely around these areas, using augers, excavators, chain trenchers, and/or vibrating plows, depending on the project. We also prioritize clear communication with everyone involved in the project, so there’s no confusion about where it’s safe to excavate.
How Deep Are Underground Electrical Lines Buried?
For most residential areas, these lines are buried between 18 and 24 inches below the ground. However, for commercial or high-voltage lines, they may need to be buried even deeper. We ensure compliance with all state and local requirements for burial depths, ensuring the work is done safely and in accordance with code. We also carefully inspect every trench before filling it back in to guarantee everything is properly installed and secure.
