In-House Trenching: How Halemeyer Group Keeps Underground Utility Work Moving Without Outsourcing

When it comes to underground utilities, delays usually start where coordination ends. For general contractors (GCs) and electrical contractors (ECs), waiting on multiple subs for trenching, conduit prep, or backfill can throw off schedules, increase costs, and create unnecessary risk.

At Halemeyer Group, we eliminate that problem entirely. We don’t sub out our trenching. We do it ourselves.

That means every trench, every backfill, and every pour happens under one roof—with one crew, one schedule, and one standard of quality.

1. Total Control from Start to Finish

By keeping trenching in-house, we maintain full control over:

• Scheduling: We move when you need us to, without waiting on a third-party crew.

• Quality: Every trench is dug to spec—clean, accurate, and ready for inspection.

• Safety: Our trained operators follow strict jobsite safety standards and utility locates.

When we’re responsible for the work, you can count on consistent results across your entire project.

2. Built for GCs Who Need Reliable Coordination

General contractors already juggle enough moving parts. Adding another subcontractor for underground work only complicates things. With Halemeyer Group, you get one point of contact for:

• Excavation and trenching for water, power, or communications.

• Backfill and compaction that meet inspection and soil density requirements.

• Concrete restoration for sidewalks, pole bases, or slabs above utilities.

We streamline your workflow so you can focus on running the project—not chasing subs.

3. Designed for Electrical Contractors Who Need Precision

For ECs, we understand that the success of your install depends on the quality of our trench. That’s why we deliver:

• Exact trench depth and spacing for conduit runs.

• Smooth, clean alignment for efficient installation.

• Proper backfill and grading to prevent future settlement or conduit exposure.

We make sure your utilities go in quickly, safely, and right the first time.

4. Why Self-Performance Matters

By handling trenching internally, we:

• Reduce delays caused by sub-scheduling conflicts.

• Lower project costs by cutting out unnecessary markups.

• Increase accountability, because we own the process from dig to pour.

When you hire Halemeyer Group, you’re not coordinating with three different companies—you’re working with one team that takes responsibility for every phase.

One Partner. One Standard. One Smooth Project.

From trenching for underground utilities to the final concrete finish, Halemeyer Group is your all-in-one subcontractor built to support general and electrical contractors across Middle Tennessee.

We self-perform because we believe quality shouldn’t depend on someone else’s schedule.
