Running a cable via an underground conduit is the safest, most efficient method, and most aesthetic type of telecommunication wiring available today. Although installation of overhead lines is much more cost-friendly at the outset, cables are exposed to the elements, subject to inclement weather, and vulnerable to accidents. This means you, the business or homeowner, are responsible for many more service and repair calls, increasing costs in the long run. Underground means your cable is less exposed, therefore less apt to sustain damage or degradation than overhead wiring.

Why Install Underground Wiring?

Homes and businesses in and around the Calgary Area can benefit greatly from converting their old and outdated exterior wiring. To replace your overhead wiring and go underground can be expensive. We’ll work with you to ensure the best price. We also provide a free estimate, so you’ll know the cost of your investment in underground wiring, before we begin.

BNS uses a combination of high-pressure water and high-powered vacuum to become the perfect solution for non-destructive excavating of buried pipes, lines and other sensitive infrastructure. Using a Hydrovac Truck is a safe and efficient alternative to conventional methods of excavation and can be utilized year-round as on-board boilers allow for the easy removal of frozen ground.

With an overhead extendable boom to maneuver the Hydrovac Hose, BNS fleet of Hydrovac Trucks become ideal for reaching hard to reach locations in congested urban areas, residential homes, and commercial facilities. As a smaller excavation area is needed, compared to traditional excavation methods, our clients benefit from the reduced environmental liability and potential restoration costs associated with their projects. We also ensure that our work does not damage pre-existing underground infrastructures and the crew is well capable of working in confined spaces.

Whether it be exposing mainlines (gas & power), and telecommunication cables, BNS has the equipment and operators needed to complete a large array of projects in a safe, cost effective and timely manner.

Horizontal Directional Drilling is used to install a variety of underground utilities such as conduit or cable for power & telecommunication, and gas lines.

Using a directional drill has minimal impact on the surrounding areas and is a viable option when trenching or excavation is not practical. It is cleaner, faster and requires less rehab. We can successfully drill in a multiplicity of soil types and conditions, both in winter and summer. Directional Drilling is not only the best, but sometimes the only option for drilling in an environmentally sensitive area, under roads, driveways, or a developed landscape.
