Underground Electric Distribution
Construction of underground primary electric systems — duct banks, service runs, transformer pads, and infrastructure ready for energization.
Electric Infrastructure
Building the Grid Underground
Underground electric distribution is the foundation of modern power delivery. It eliminates overhead exposure to weather, trees, and vehicle strikes — providing more reliable service with lower long-term maintenance costs.
Lehigh Valley Underground builds complete underground electric distribution systems for utility companies, municipalities, and developers. Our scope covers everything from duct bank construction and manhole placement to primary cable installation and transformer pad setting.
We coordinate directly with utility engineering teams to ensure every system is built to their standards — and ready for transformer installation, switching, and energization.
Typical System Components
What We Build
Concrete-encased or direct-buried multi-conduit runs
Underground access points for cable pulling and splicing
Concrete pads set to grade for pad-mount transformers
Pads and underground feeds for switching equipment
Conduit and cable runs from transformers to buildings
Grounding grids, rods, and bonding per NEC

Project Types
Where We Build Distribution Systems
New Construction
Complete underground electric distribution for subdivisions, commercial parks, and industrial campuses — from duct bank to transformer pad.
System Upgrades
Replacement and upgrade of aging underground electric infrastructure including switchgear, cables, and conduit systems.
Conversions (Overhead to Underground)
Converting overhead distribution to underground systems for municipalities, utilities, and private developments.
Utility Cutovers
Coordination with utility crews for transformer connections, system energization, and safe cutover from temporary to permanent power.
