what are the challenges with underground utilities?

Some of the challenges of underground utility construction include:

Site access and logistics: Underground utility construction often requires excavation in densely populated areas with limited access, making it difficult to transport materials and equipment.
Underground obstacles: Underground utility construction may encounter various obstacles such as rocks, boulders, and underground utility lines, making it challenging to complete the work efficiently and safely.
Ground conditions: Soil and ground conditions can vary greatly, making it challenging to determine the best excavation and support methods.
Environmental impact: Construction activities can cause disruption to the environment, wildlife, and local communities, and may also result in soil erosion and water contamination.
Cost and time: Underground utility construction is often more expensive and time-consuming than above-ground construction due to the need for excavation and other specialized techniques.
Health and safety: Underground utility construction workers face health and safety risks such as trench collapse, electrical hazards, and exposure to hazardous materials.

TNR handles site access and logistics by working closing with the project manager to understand desired outcomes, service paths, and what options exist.
Sometimes underground obstacle are difficult to avoid, but knowing the area and understanding our options help us determine the best course of action.
Our 40 years of collective construction experience helps guide us to determine if soil conditions are adequate for working safely.
TNR reduces the environmental impact of underground utility construction by working with the project manager to understand desired outcomes.
Cost and time and health and safety are major concerns TNR, but are part of the initial planning phase for any project.
