Utility Infrastructure Contractor NYC & Westchester
Utility Infrastructure
Top-notch civil infrastructure solutions to handle the most demanding public and private civil builds
Expertly navigating the subsurface challenges of New York infrastructure
Traditional open-cut excavation often paralyzes New York streets, driving up restoration costs and stalling critical utility projects. When expanding underground utilities beneath highways, historic concrete slabs, or active railways, conventional trenching is often not a viable option. Disrupted sewer lines, delicate electric power grids, and high-pressure gas pipelines demand a specialized approach.
As a top utility contractor in NYC and Westchester, Akela Contracting understands these challenges. That’s why we leverage the following to successfully bring a new utility line or underground cable to completion:
Advanced methods
We use high-capacity directional boring techniques, horizontal auger boring, and a heavy-duty rotating auger or tunnel boring machine based on your site's specific needs.
Versatile material placement
We seamlessly place high-density polyethylene (HDPE) conduits, steel pipes, fiber optic pathways, and underground cable systems.
Complete field operations
From heavy-duty water mains and oil and gas pipelines to precision manhole rehabilitation, the entire process is expertly managed by our team to keep your project on budget.

Akela Contracting handles a wide range of public works and private site development projects in New York City and Westchester:
Water Mains
We handle large-scale water mains for commercial and residential projects. Leveraging our extensive experience, we use horizontal directional drilling to bore underground pipes beneath busy roads, bridges, and irrigation crossings. Our teams expertly place HDPE and specialized utility pipe configurations tailored to diverse terrains.
