Buyers vet the people as much as the company. Here's who we are, how we're built, and the leadership accountable for your project.
Established in 2020 and operating as a standalone company since 2023, Underground Services is led by owner Chad Allen and self-performs the caissons, structural concrete and civil work that substations and energy facilities are built on.
Our leadership brings decades of deep-foundation and substation experience to a safety-first company — a 0.97 EMR and zero recordable incidents since work began in 2024.
