Experience and Reliability Matter When Choosing a Utility Construction Contractor in Charlotte, NC
Progress is the only thing that matters in a large city like Charlotte, North Carolina. Can your citizens get from Point A to Point B without dealing with traffic? Are your kids able to drink water from clean pipes? Do you have reliable internet that’s not at the whim and whimsy of a bad connection?
Lake States Construction, LLC is the choice for a trusted utility construction contractor that brings expertise, logistics, equipment, and reliability to any jobsite in the Queen City. We’re a devoted team of experts that love helping cities and municipalities stay on the cutting edge of resource management solutions. Are you ready to see what we can do for you?
Utility Construction Capabilities for the Tough Parts of the Project
A contractor with one way to install utilities can quickly run into problems when field conditions change. Lake States Construction, LLC’s capabilities give project owners more ways to keep work moving.
We handle civil site work and utility construction using methods that include trenching, underground plowing, directional boring, and Vac-Tron vacuum excavation. Vacuum excavation gives our crews a safer method for locating existing underground infrastructure when conventional digging creates unnecessary risk.
When the route itself becomes the challenge, our capabilities go further. We have equipment for water crossings, including barges and boats, along with Vermeer D24X40III drills, Ditch Witch JT10 equipment, Vermeer plows, backhoes, vacuum equipment, bucket trucks, digger trucks, and other specialized machinery.
The goal is simple: match the construction method to the project instead of trying to make the project fit one method.
Overhead and Underground Power Line Construction
Organizations searching for experienced underground and overhead utility contractors need crews prepared for more than new installation. Lake States Construction’s power line construction capabilities cover overhead and underground distribution work, including underground plowing, directional boring, substations, lake crossings, repairs, rebuilds, maintenance, and storm restoration.
Our team includes journeyman linemen and highly trained personnel backed by ongoing safety and workforce development programs. That combination of people and equipment allows us to take on demanding distribution projects while maintaining the professional standards utility organizations expect.
Whether the project calls for putting new infrastructure in the ground or working on an existing distribution system, we bring the resources needed to get the work done safely and efficiently.
Fiber Optic Cable Installation With More Options in the Field
Fiber routes can encounter roads, water, existing infrastructure, difficult terrain, and plenty of other obstacles between Point A and Point B. Our fiber optic cable installation capabilities help project owners navigate those challenges without relying on a single installation technique.
We perform boring, trenching, plowing, lake crossings, fiber splicing, service drops, T-offs, NID installation, maintenance, and repair. Our crews also install middle-mile fiber, including high-count main lines.
For qualifying projects, Lake States Construction can manage a broader portion of the work. Our responsibilities can include materials, locates, equipment, labor, and subcontractor management. That gives customers a contractor capable of supporting multiple stages of exterior fiber construction instead of simply installing cable and moving on.
Pipeline Mowing That Keeps Corridors Accessible
Utility infrastructure also needs room for inspection and maintenance. Lake States Construction provides pipeline mowing under maintenance contracts to keep pipeline corridors open for fly-by inspections.
We bring specialized mowing and vegetation-management equipment to this work, helping utility organizations maintain access to important infrastructure and address time-sensitive corridor requirements.
