Excavation Services are never commenced without due diligence.

Using an advanced trench less system that is also steerable, means that a highly accurate underground bore can be made that avoids previous drilling obstacles and gives you access to the best path for your infrastructures.

Often referred to as horizontal boring, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a surface to surface drilling method of laying cables or pipes underground whilst avoiding any obstacles that would usually prevent drilling to occur.This trenchless technology also allows for connections to be made that are not necessarily in a straight line.
Also known as horizontal boring, our horizontal drilling equipment allows for quick and clean boring for areas under driveways, footpaths or electricity connections. When the boring distance required is shorter, such as under road, driveway or pathway and a straight horizontal bore is required, Total Underground Solutions horizontal bed boring is likely to be the best underground solution for you.
We utilise the latest hydro excavation equipment when performing non-destructive digging (NDD) around buried services, efficiently eliminating the risk of damage. More and more so, underground boring is moving towards non destructive digging with the use of hydro excavation and vacuum trucks.

This trenching method allows us to bore holes and dig trenches around services in an efficient and safe way, eliminating the risk of damage to conduits and the environment.Often referred to as 'hydro excavation' or 'vacuum excavation', non destructive digging is the process of removing soil and debris around previously laid conduits.

To whom it may concern,
I founded a TriState Surveying, Inc. 01 January 2001. One of my first needs was to establish a support team. Most of my projects require the depiction of sub-surface infrastructure, therefore I was in immediate need of the service that they provide.
While at a Central Chapter of Professional Surveyors of Colorado meeting in the Denver Tech Center in late 2001 I met Ken & Kelly as they provided a presentation . They were young & excited about their new venture. I got a very good feel from them as both being solid pillars of the community. I decided right then to give them

I have worked with UCS for years and Ken and Kelly’s team has been great. They’re very responsive, well-trained, and genuinely care about doing a good job for their clients. What I like the most is that, if there is a concern or problem, they’ll address it immediately with no questions asked. Also, they are now offering SUE services, which is great. Highly recommend!!

I have been using UCS for all my private underground utility locates since 2001. Before 2001, the companies i used generally did not show up when scheduled, charged more then the bid and usually missed items. When UCS first approached me in 2001 i was very hesitant - but within weeks i knew i had my locate guys. They are dependable, on time, easy to work with, invoices are correct, competent and always professional. A couple of years ago UCS starting providing a pothole service. I have been using there pothole team for about 3 years now. i would recommend UCS for all your private utility and potholing

This is the WORST company ever! DO NOT go to them. I walked in as a referral to seek their services. It also just so happens I work for the business division of Staples and thought this was a great opportunity to get my foot in the door since they already knew one of my family members. However, they knew none of that. I walked in and 4 people were standing there. All I literally said was Hi, how are you guys? Every person in the room had a blank face and I got no response to my how are you? This lady spoke and said can I help you? What do you want? Why are you in here? Totally caught off guard
