L3 Harris Conduit Installation

Project Overview

The L3 Harris Conduit Installation project in Rochester, NY, delivered end-to-end preconstruction management, permitting, and installation of communication and electrical conduits beneath University Avenue. Using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and selective trenching through congested utility corridors, we installed heavy-gauge galvanized conduit, pull boxes, and building penetrations, then restored and resurfaced the roadway to city standards.

Comprehensive Preconstruction Management

‍Coordinate design reviews, utility locates, and city permitting to ensure all phases aligned with client and municipal requirements.

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

‍Drill beneath University Avenue to place communication and electrical conduit without open-cut disruption to traffic flow.

Selective Trenching Through Utility-Rich Corridor

‍Excavate only where necessary to navigate existing water, gas, and electrical mains—minimizing risk to critical infrastructure.

Pull-Box Installation & Building Penetration

‍Install two reinforced pull boxes in landscaped areas and create sealed penetrations in the L3 Harris building using hydraulic cement.

Heavy-Gauge Conduit Placement

‍Fit and secure galvanized conduit rated for high-voltage and communications lines, ensuring long-term durability and code compliance.

Full Roadway Restoration

‍Mill, repave, stripe, and landscape all disturbed public and private areas to City of Rochester standards for safety and aesthetics.

Project Benefits

Streamlined Client Experience: Single-point coordination from design through completion reduced administrative overhead and kept the project on schedule.
Minimal Traffic Disruption: HDD and targeted trenching allowed University Avenue to remain open, maintaining traffic flow during peak hours.
Infrastructure Protection: Careful utility mapping and selective excavation prevented damage to existing water, gas, and power lines.
Enhanced System Reliability: Heavy-gauge, galvanized conduit and professionally sealed penetrations safeguard against corrosion and water intrusion.
Code-Compliant Restoration: Full milling, paving, and striping delivered a roadway that meets or exceeds municipal safety and quality standards.
Community & Aesthetic Value: Final landscaping and clean-finish surfaces improved the corridor’s appearance and pedestrian safety.
