Municipal & Government

Water Authorities & Public Works

Municipal water authorities and public works departments require subcontractors who understand permit requirements, public right-of-way protocols, and on-site inspection coordination. Triple J has delivered water main bores for the City of Henderson, including large-diameter crossings beneath active roadways with strict horizontal and vertical tolerance requirements.

We handle the full bore scope: planning the entry and exit pits, maintaining traffic flow throughout, and coordinating with the on-site municipal inspector at every stage. No road closures required on our water line work.

DOT & Transportation

NCDOT, VDOT & Road Infrastructure

Transportation agencies and DOT prime contractors select Triple J for directional boring work within highway rights-of-way because we understand the stakes: no road closures, strict grade requirements, and a DOT inspector watching every bore. We've completed conduit installation scopes for NCDOT Division 5 at multiple signalized intersections, running all work within NCDOT right-of-way under active inspection.

Our rigs and crew have the depth capability and precision tracking to navigate beneath active roadways, maintain strict horizontal and vertical tolerances, and complete multiple bore runs in a single mobilization, keeping your project schedule on track.
