West Coast utilities face unprecedented challenges including devastating fire and rain storms, continued population growth, and an aging infrastructure. Charge companies are built to rise to the challenge with an EPC model of scalable resources and complementary service offerings.
While our roots may exist in horizontal boring, early on we recognized a need for more complete solutions to the growing complexity of utility issues and became one of the first companies in the nation to combine engineering and directional drilling.Many of our projects still include boring, but we now offer a full suite of progressive programs for natural gas and electric distribution, communications, water/wastewater utilities and more.
VPI has a long history in electric distribution infrastructure. As we've grown, however, so have our capabilities. Today, the team is made up of a broad range of personnel to help clients map out projects from inception to completion. They include specialized engineers, excavation and directional drilling crews, field engineers, and our project managers who merge all of these skillsets into one cohesive unit.

We offer full-scale, turnkey, design-build utility and infrastructure services to solve complex utility issues from water, wastewater and natural gas to electrical and communication.
ABD crews were treated with spectacular views while replacing a section of exposed/leaking natural gas service over a coastal bluff using a Ditch Witch 4020 directional boring rig.
The project involved installing new pipeline parallel to the path of the existing pipeline, connecting the new service to the distribution system and abandoning the old pipeline.
