For any company that works underground the possibility of striking a utility is everpresent. The denser the population the more likely that foreign utilities will cross the work space. Electric Conduit Construction is diligent when excavating or drilling.

Electric Conduit Construction sponsored crew training for Confined Space work. Over twenty foremen, crew members and management attended a two hour safety workshop on how to enter and work in confined spaces do it safely. Most confined space deaths occur due to toxic atmospheres.

The fiber optic infrastructure of North America continues to grow. Published maps show the extent of the existing vs planned routes for fiber. Driving this growth is the explosion of data sent by consumers and businesses

3000' feet of fiber in an urban area is not easy since the open cut work can be disruptive to vehicle and pedestrian traffic, not to speak of the disruption to businesses.

Customers demand service and it is really appreciated when it helps them with their bottom line. It was no surprise to our customers when we brought the project stake holders and the major telecommunications companies together to discuss the project and explore the idea of building a joint trench.

Many of our work sites are in congested utility corridors. For the most part these utilities are hidden underground. This is the safest place to put them. Increasingly all utilities are moving to underground repositories.

Thanks to the hard work of our crews this project was executed with zero safety incidents or injuries. Despite heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic no accidents occurred and everyone was kept safe.

Fiber Optic networks provide huge capacity and speed for Small Cell applications and home connections. Electric Conduit Construction is playing a major role in fiber builds throughout the Chicagoland area.

This project is a good example of some of the construction challenges posed when building antenna sites. Electric Conduit Construction is capable of building, maintaining and modifying virtually any type of tower.

A self supporting tower in Michigan required an antenna and radio upgrade for a carrier, co-located with others on the tower. At Electric Conduit Construction we pride ourselves on doing work that is high quality with no call-backs.

Electric Conduit Construction was a awarded a series of water tower Co-Location projects that required extensive modifications to the equipment rooms in order to accomplish the job.
