Services
Directional Drilling
Our directional drilling services install utilities under roads, rivers, and sensitive areas with minimal surface disruption. Using precision guidance systems and specialized drilling heads, we steer underground paths to maintain structural integrity while installing new pipes. This method reduces environmental impact and avoids costly restoration work.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting replaces aging clay or cast iron pipes up to 36 inches in diameter using pneumatic hammers to fracture old lines while pulling in new HDPE or PVC pipes. This trenchless solution maintains original pipe alignment and eliminates extensive excavation for faster, cost-effective upgrades.
Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation combines high-pressure water jets and vacuum systems for safe, precise potholing and utility exposure. This non-mechanical method safely uncovers underground lines without damaging infrastructure, ideal for congested areas and sensitive environments requiring accurate excavation.
Lift Station Installation
We design and install high-performance water and wastewater pumping stations meeting strict environmental regulations. Our lift station solutions address challenging soil conditions using durable materials and advanced construction techniques to ensure reliable long-term operation for municipal and industrial applications.
Emergency Repairs
GM Contracting provides rapid response for urgent water main breaks and sewage line failures. Our crews deploy specialized equipment and trenchless repair methods to restore service quickly while minimizing disruption to property owners and public infrastructure.
