Services
Excavation Shoring
General Excavating installs HELIWALLS, a reusable heavy-duty shoring system for excavations up to 16 feet. This method reduces vibration, minimizes surface disruption, and accelerates project timelines. Clients benefit from safer, more efficient excavations with reduced restoration costs, particularly in urban or sensitive environments.
Underground Utilities
We specialize in installing water, storm, and sanitary sewer systems with precision. Our preconstruction planning identifies potential conflicts early, ensuring seamless utility integration. Clients receive durable infrastructure solutions for commercial, industrial, and municipal projects, supported by 35+ years of field experience.
Directional Boring
Our trenchless technology enables underground pipe and cable installation with minimal surface disruption. Ideal for road crossings or urban areas, this method preserves existing landscapes and reduces project downtime. We handle complex bores for utilities, gas lines, and fiber optics across the Midwest.
Environmental Remediation
We address contaminated soil and groundwater through excavation, SVE systems, and tank removal. Our OSHA 40-hour trained team safely manages petroleum-impacted sites, lead contamination, and superfund projects. Clients receive compliant, sustainable solutions for regulatory approval and site redevelopment.

Report
I don't know what idiot you hired to drive your equipment this morning at 70th & Pine Lake, but he needs a lesson in decision making. The speed limit is 50 mph coming from Hwy 2; and when the light is green that means that traffic is moving. He shouldn't be pulling out onto the road when traffic is MOVING-especially if he's driving equipment at 20 mph. You would have one hell of a lawsuit on your hands had I not been able to brake fast enough and not hit him. Please have your contractors take a training course in good decision making before you let them operate heavy equipment
