Duct Banks & Conduit

Fully-Encased Duct Bank Installation

The key to successful utility installation is to start with proper excavation and backfill, and Moss Utilities is here to help. We offer skilled MEP duct bank excavation to not only prepare for utilities placement but also protect existing utility systems. We always start by mapping and verifying current underground conditions to create a customized plan that minimizes the risk of complications while we are digging.

After the initial excavation is complete and the conduits are installed with concrete casings, we finish the job with backfill and compaction based on your engineering requirements. These steps are critical to reduce settling that could stress the conduits due to surface failures.

At Moss Utilities, we follow strict practices for quality control, ensuring durability and reliability every step of the way. You can expect long-term structural performance when you choose our team for your project.

Not only do we deliver duct bank systems that support your current power demands, but these systems are designed to accommodate your future growth as well. We understand that future construction and expansion plans are common for commercial campuses and industrial facilities, so we build in options to accommodate the systems as needed.

When you choose Moss Utilities, you can expect that every step will be executed with precision. We are here to help with full-service solutions from excavation through final encasement and backfilling. Call today to discuss your project needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Duct banks are underground systems to hold conduits for electrical and communication. We encase them in concrete to protect critical power and fiber lines from damage.

Concrete encasement offers the necessary protection to avoid utility damage due to moisture, soil movement, and surface loads. We also use these encasements to help with proper spacing to support structural stability and thermal performance.

Duct banks are often installed for larger projects, such as data centers, commercial campuses, industrial facilities, and large residential developments. If you need high-capacity power and communication lines, then it’s likely that duct banks will be included in the installation plan.

We handle backfill and compaction to meet strict engineering specifications. These soil stabilization methods not only protect the duct banks, but they also offer protection for the surface structures as well.

Yes, we always keep future expansion in mind to accommodate your growth as needed. These strategies allow for expansion without major rework when the system needs to be extended.
