Dig‑It, Inc. delivers safe, constructible solutions for utility and commercial foundations across the Midwest. Founded in 1994 and woman‑owned, our team specializes in drilled shafts/caissons, hydro excavation, limited‑access and low‑headroom drilling, direct‑embed foundations and CMP installations. Browse the case studies drilling highlights below to see how we approach complex scopes and tight schedules—and how we measure success.

Our project portfolio spans utility and commercial work:
For sector‑specific solutions, see Hydro-Excavation.
Scope typically includes large‑diameter drilled shafts for tangent and dead‑end structures, with reinforcing steel, rock sockets where required, and fluid management. Crews coordinate closely with utility outage windows and environmental constraints, maintaining safe clearances and traffic control.
Limited ROW access and variable soils (soft clays to hard till/rock)
Matting, temporary work pads and the right tooling for changing geology; real‑time adjustments guided by constructability review
Foundations completed within outage windows and tested per spec; project completion completed to landowner standards

Tight sites demand precise rig selection, spoil control and coordination with other trades. We handle caissons for transformers, breaker pads, and cable trench interfaces, managing slurry or dry methods as the geotechnical profile dictates.
Compressed outage windows and multi‑contractor interfaces
Pre‑task planning, daily coordination with the GC/owner, and documented inspections
On‑schedule turnovers with clean as‑built documentation and quality records
Explore more on process and tolerances on our foundation drilling & drilled shafts page.
Hydro excavation is critical for utility verification, safe exposure and slot trenching where tolerance is tight or subsurface risk is high. Typical scopes include potholing to confirm line depth/offset, trenching for conduits, and precision daylighting around sensitive assets.
Unknown subsurface congestion
Non‑destructive hydro excavation to verify clearances before drilling
Fewer strikes, cleaner sites, and faster transitions to drilled foundation work
Learn more on our Hydro Excavation page.
When structures, overhead lines, or interiors restrict height and swing, we mobilize low‑clearance rigs and specialized tooling. We plan ingress/egress, ventilation (as needed), and spoil handling to maintain safe, continuous operations in tight spaces.

Direct‑embed pole foundations and CMP casings often pair with transmission or lighting scopes. We set, plumb, and backfill per specification and verify compaction as required.
Variable backfill and compaction criteria
Controlled lifts, testing coordination and thorough documentation
Spec‑compliant installations ready for structure erection
See Direct Embed & CMP Installation for service details.
Our work includes transmission line drilled shafts, substation caissons, cell‑tower piers, hydro excavation for utility verification, limited‑access/low‑headroom drilling, direct‑embed foundations and CMP installations. Explore our project portfolio for service specifics.
