🛠️ At Anderson Underground, we use state-of-the-art methods to ensure efficient and safe underground construction. Here’s how we get the job done: Directional Boring: With machines ranging from 7,000 to 40,000 lbs of pullback power, we handle projects of all sizes, boring distances from 50’ to 1500’ and installing products up to 20” in diameter. Cable Plowing: Our 335hp crawlers plow service and mainline cables through all terrains, including residential areas, at depths of 1 to 6 feet. We can tackle projects over 100 miles! Trenching: When ground conditions are tough or the product is too large to plow, our trenching equipment, including backhoes and rock saws, cuts trenches for cable or pipe placement in any soil. Vacuum Excavation: For smaller projects, we use high-pressure water or air to safely break apart material, minimizing accidental line damage and preventing trench cave-ins. No matter the challenge, Anderson Underground has the expertise and equipment to deliver top-quality results. #AndersonUnderground #DirectionalBoring #CablePlowing #Trenching #VacuumExcavation #UndergroundConstruction

A question we are often asked: How long will my project take to dig? Often times, the number one factor is the type of material that we are hydro-excavating. In sandy soils, a 7’ hole 2’ wide can take 30 minutes or less. When the soil has large rock or a frenzy of roots, this same hole can take over an hour. We track the material of each area we dig, so that when a customer asks this question, there’s a chance that we’ve hydro-excavated a few blocks from the new job site. For example: -Beaverton / Hillsboro, OR (3 separate developments): Clean/silty dirt -Powell Blvd. Portland: River Rock / Cobble -West Vancouver, WA: Mostly Sand / Fine Dirt -Estacada, OR: Large Rock! (Bring a jack hammer if safe to use) This may not seem all that necessary, but the data better prepares the crew on what to expect and equip our vac’s with, on a day to day basis.

Here's a step-by-step of what is going on behind the scenes for the construction of the Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline (FGP) - and it's quite a process. 1️⃣ The Right of Way (ROW) is surveyed and investigated. Cultural Heritage Monitors conduct a ‘walk through’ to identify artifacts. 2️⃣ All vegetation is removed from the ROW. 3️⃣ The ROW is cleared of all obstructions and bulldozed to prepare a flat construction platform. Topsoil is reserved for reinstatement later. 4️⃣ A survey is conducted to determine the centreline and the centreline is pegged. 5️⃣ Pipes are ‘strung’ end-to-end along the ROW next to where the trench will be dug. 6️⃣ A trench is excavated using specialist heavy earthmoving machinery. Trenchless methods, such as drilling or boring, are used where the conditions do not suit the use of an open trench, such as waterways, rail, and some roads. 7️⃣ The pipe is laid into the trench using specialised heavy machinery. 8️⃣ The trench is backfilled using soil maintained from step 3. 9️⃣ Specialised equipment is then used to test the pipeline’s pressure – called hydrotesting to expose and rectify any operational defects. 🔟 All areas affected by construction are reinstated to pre-construction conditions as far as practicable.

Ivor King are no strangers to working next to or even in water, in places that often prove to be some of the most challenging to reach when using heavy plant and equipment. That’s when we deploy our Modular Floating Pontoons - ideal when working on rivers, canals, marinas, wharfs, quays and harbours to provide a safe working platform from which to perform piling installations. The pontoons are road transportable, capable of supporting a uniformly distributed load of 20kN/m² per float, and are assembled using a close-coupling system to create almost any configuration. ‘Spud legs’ are forced downwards into the bed of the waterway to provide anchorage and prevent drifting of the floating work platforms. This versatile modular system is capable of carrying heavy plant such as excavators, MEWPS and piling rigs when used in conjunction with Timber Mats. Whatever your #piling project, we’re your people. #thepilingpeople #pontoons #civilengineering #riversandcanals

It all happens right beneath your nose. Truthfully, I had no clue how the world really worked before stepping on a jobsite in 2019. The infrastructure that I had used every day of my life was mostly out of sight, out of mind. The extent of my infrastructure awareness was that most traffic was “caused by road construction”. But the second my eyes were open to the work it takes to build and maintain a functional society, I couldn’t stop seeing it. Yes, there were road projects — tons of them. I noticed pipe crews installing underground utilities (water, storm drainage, sewer, and electrical). I saw trucks driving loaded to the brim with rock, sand, gravel, etc. necessary for construction. There were land clearing companies making way for future development. My eyes couldn’t escape the wide array of yellow iron on mass grading projects. Massive machinery rental and sales companies that were previously just warehouses in passing popped out at me. Trains carrying aggregates from quarries unknown to the public. You get the picture. All it took was one REAL encounter with the construction world. • #heavyequipment #utilities #earthmoving #excavation #caterpillar #betterdirtworld #bluecollar #civilconstruction

BADGER INFRASTRUCTURE- I had the opportunity to discuss Badger's capabilities with a customer this week, and this job is one I always reference. The excavation over 50' deep of slurry, mud, and stone from large caissons was completed with ease using vacuum excavation. This versatile technique is another tool to add to your toolbox. #caissons #foundationdrilling #digsafe #safedigging #safetyfirst #undergroundutilities #undergroundconstruction #waterandwastewater #waterinfrastructure #gasindustry #nycconstruction #utilityindustry #utilitylocating #utilityconstruction #utility #drillingproject #drillingmud #railinfrastructure #railindustry #nucadigs #slurry #tunneling #badgerinfra #nationalgrid #piles #piledriving #nycconstruction #badgerinc #badgerinfra #substation #sewerrepair #infrastructureprojects #infrastructureconstruction

Why does a site need Piling? A traditional shallow foundation is enough when the ground is suitable and the load it has to support is moderate, but there are many factors that can make the ground unsuitable, in which case pilling is strongly recommended: 1️⃣ - The water table is high. 2️⃣ -The soil is of a type whose stability is affected by water. 3️⃣ - Deep trench foundations from a previous building would be too expensive to remove. 4️⃣ - Existing foundation trenches are unstable. 5️⃣ - The ground is unsuitable for more than two metres. 6️⃣ - The nature of the load requiring support.
