Undergrounding

Hypower is PREQUALIFIED with several electrical power providers and almost all of Florida’s telecommunications service providers to perform various tasks required for undergrounding their overhead power and telecommunication lines.

Undergrounding is a technical specialty; therefore, utilities are very strict with who they trust in their undergrounding work projects. They use a PREQUALIFICATION process to assess safety, knowledge, experience, and resources.
