We’ve spent years working around active energy and utility systems across the Central United States. Our crews know how to operate carefully when the lines stay live.
Energy and utility jobs stay with the same supervisors from the start, so decisions don’t change halfway through the project.
We bring the equipment, crew depth, and bonding capacity needed for distribution, transmission, and utility support work, without overextending.
From soil types to right-of-way constraints, the conditions across Kansas, Colorado, Texas, Nebraska and the greater Central and Western U.S., vary block by block, and we’ve seen enough of it to plan accurately the first time.
We plan installs for long-term access and performance instead of rushing to the next job. Doing it right is what keeps clients coming back.
Energy and utility infrastructure is unique in that it has to work the first time somebody needs it. There’s no grace period, no adjustment phase, and no explaining it away to the community that’s depending on it.
Amerine crews have been doing this work in the Central U.S. long enough to understand that before it becomes a policy, it just becomes part of how you show up. We walk the site before the work begins, understand what’s already in the ground, and plan the install around how the system needs to perform for years to come.
Over forty years of getting it right in the same communities has a way of making that a non-negotiable.
Underground infrastructure supporting power-adjacent fiber routes, access points, and utility corridor tie-ins.
Installation supporting electric, water, sewer, and communication systems, planned around existing utilities, grades, and service continuity.
Energy & utility work performed in active rights-of-way with traffic control, permitting, and restoration.
Underground work supporting access points, system upgrades, and connections for energy and utility operations.

Energy and utility infrastructure work touches real neighborhoods, streets get opened, yards get disrupted, and the people living around the job site notice everything from how the crew showed up to how they left.
We’ve been doing this work in the Central and Western U.S. since 1977. Some of the infrastructure we’ve installed runs underneath the same streets our families drive on every day. That’s not something that leaves the job site, it shows up in how we treat the property around the install, how we manage disruption throughout the job, and what the neighborhood looks like when we pull away.
It’s also why utilities and municipalities we’ve worked with for decades don’t go looking for somebody else.
Working around energized systems, high voltage lines, and pressurized utilities requires a crew that knows when to move forward and when to stop, and has the authority to act on that judgement without waiting on anybody.
Amerine crews go through OSHA registered apprenticeship programs specific to energy and utility hazards. Our foremen have been managing these conditions long enough that recognizing a problem before it develops is just how they’re wired.
Zero recordable incidents in 2025 didn’t happen because energy and utility work got easier. It happened because our people never stopped taking it seriously.
“Amerine Construction did a fantastic job. Their crew was professional, knowledgeable, and the quality of work was outstanding. They got the job done right, on time, and within budget. Best of all, their post-plow cleanup left the landscape looking virtually untouched. I highly recommend them.”
Eric Norstrom, Project Manager at Home Communications Inc.
“Amerine Utility Contractors has been an outstanding company to have worked on our projects. Their efficient and quality work is completed with integrity.“
Ryan Oren, Outside Plant Supervisor at Haviland Broadband
“We value our partnership with Craig and his team at Amerine Construction. They operate as a true extension of our business, going beyond the traditional vendor role to share in our goals and outcomes. Their willingness to adjust, adapt, and collaborate ensures that together we deliver successful projects and build stronger Western Kansas communities.”
Beau Rebel, General Manager at GBT
Energy and utility infrastructure works best when each phase is planned to support the next.
Supporting services include:
Underground Cable Plowing & Installation: Utility corridors planned to support continuous runs, clean transitions, and long-term access for energy & utility systems.
Directional Drilling (HDD): Bores aligned with utility routes, tie-in locations, and access points to maintain system continuity.
Manhole & Underground Structures: Structures installed to support utility access, upgrades, and ongoing maintenance needs.
Coordination is most effective before excavation or drilling begins, when routing access, and sequencing can still be adjusted without rework.
At Amerine, work is planned around site-specific constraints like limited access, existing utilities, grades, and right-of-way requirements, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Yes. Energy and utility infrastructure is often integrated into phased projects, with sequencing planned to align with other scope and avoid conflicts later.
Long-term access is important for maintenance, inspections, and future upgrades. Planning for access during installation helps reduce service disruptions and rework years down the line.
Amerine regularly works with utilities, municipalities, engineers, and general contractors, supporting coordinated underground infrastructure work across a range of project types.
