Modular Underground Infrastructure Solutions
Aldridge has always looked to learn and improve. PreFab and Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) have really driven the next level of transformational innovations. A new approach to underground solutions, as shown in this photo, allows for assembly of modular conduit packages in our qualitycontrolled off-site, on-site, and near-site facilities. These packages can then be safely and efficiently lowered into the excavation, offering schedule certainty to the client by eliminating external factors found in the field. Soon, the complex conduit system seen here will be encased and backfilled, making way for a room full of servers powering the world’s data needs.
COME

Aldrige has a number of Subject Matter Experts who specialize in making equipment innovations. Over the years, their experiments have resulted in unique tools and equipment modifications that have improved our processes, productivity, quality and safety.
In order to meet critical schedules during airport night closures, our innovators developed a rock wheel to cut through concrete to expedite conduit installation.


For water-only access projects, we have outfitted our drill rigs and excavators with amphibious tracks in order to minimize environmental damage while rebuilding the grid.
