Precision Installation Services
KBL’s foundation lies in precision field execution. Our installation crews are trained and equipped to deliver high-quality underground infrastructure using advanced methods like directional drilling, hydro-vac excavation, and trenching. Every installation is completed with a focus on safety, accuracy, and minimal disruption to surrounding environments — ensuring dependable systems that stand the test of time.
DIRECTIONAL DRILLING
KBL provides precision horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to install utilities beneath roads, driveways, and developed areas with minimal surface disruption. This method reduces restoration costs and preserves landscaping, allowing for fast, clean, and accurate installations.
HYDRO-VAC EXCAVATION
Our hydro-vac excavation services ensure safe exposure of existing utilities and minimize the risk of damage during construction. This non-destructive method supports installations in high-traffic or sensitive environments.

KBL’s experienced operators use advanced trenching equipment to complete open-cut installations safely and efficiently. We deliver consistent results for underground infrastructure while maintaining site integrity and compliance.

KBL provides end-to-end telecom and electrical installation services — including cable pulling, splicing, power supply, and node installations — to keep homes, businesses, and public spaces connected. Our experienced technicians ensure all systems are installed to code, tested for performance, and ready for activation.
