Our underground utility expertise allows us to provide turnkey utility design & installation of transformers and high voltage underground wiring, dry utility coordination, and horizontal directional drilling.

Many jurisdictional codes require power lines to be buried for easier access or safety reasons. Not too mention the aesthetically pleasing sight of no power lines overhead. Prairie Electric can meet these requirements, both in new construction and as retrofits.
