Municipal Utility Services

Most villages, municipalities and cities provide some or most of the utilities their residents depend on. This might include, at a minimum sewer, water, and waste disposal. In some cases, electric power, and internet service with fiber optic cable. In addition to these services municipalities have street, traffic control and architectural illumination to maintain.  Electric Conduit Construction (ECC) has been fortunate to win this type of work and gain experience maintaining municipal, utility infrastructure.

ECC employs electricians, linemen, fiber technicians, splicing technicians, heavy equipment operators and laborers. ECC’s capabilities include civil, concrete pads, foundations and piers, open cut trench work, horizontal directional drilling, conduit placement, fiber optic cable placement, distribution power. ECC can set new poles and place fiber optic and distribution power using overhead methods.
