Overview
Wolf offers trained crews, highly capable of installing water, sewer and storm water systems. Our crews are familiar with differing codes in the various municipalities throughout Hampton Roads and we work directly with the City inspectors. We are experienced with the more restrictive conditions encountered on government installations.
Limitation of Conventional Trenching
Conventional trenching requires the ground surface to be broken up resulting in additional costs of reinstating the surface to the original condition. The carbon footprint of conventional trenching is higher as debris needs to be removed and disposed of requiring multiple trips.
Underground Utilities cover many projects. Those projects include water control such as storm water drainage, water retention such as underground water storage facilities.
Erosional control is another aspect of underground utilities which might include sew construction and repair, installation of water mains, and ground water collection/transport systems. Projects also include public works and governmental utility-jobs such as installation of underground wires for electricity and communication.
It is important to detect pipelines to prevent accidents that can cause permanent physical damage or even result in the death of workers involved. Hitting utility lines also means additional cost to the contractor in terms of repairing the damaged lines and incurring fines from local authorities. The accidental impact can cause the following:
- Hitting an electric line can electrocute the workers.
- Hitting a gas pipeline can result in fires and disruption of services.
- Hitting a sewer pipeline can cause environmental pollution.
- Hitting telecommunication cables can disrupt property damage businesses as internet and communication services get affected.
Dry utilities make the world go round and help our communities function and thrive.

As a Class A Contractor, we’re experts at building and rehabilitating our vital wet utilities to ensure their safety and stability.
Installation using Trenchless Technology
Underground utility lines are still installed using conventional open-cut methods, however, the risk of hitting other utility lines and causing life-threatening accidents are high. Trenchless technology has the right solution for this problem with steerable and guided drilling methods that can safely navigate between underground infrastructures.
Quality
We take pride in our ability to work safely and efficiently in congested areas installing new systems while ensuring the residents and local occupants are not without service. Wolf has become a prominent contractor in underground utility construction.
