Excavation and horizontal directional drilling for utilities, EPCs, and energy developers across Central New York and Pennsylvania. One self-performing crew, from bore pit to backfill.
CNY Utility Group is a self-performing utility excavation and directional-drilling contractor. We put infrastructure in the ground for electric, gas, water, sewer, telecom, and renewables — boring beneath roads, rail, rivers, and live utilities where open-cut isn't an option, and trenching, bedding, and restoring where it is. Owner-operated rigs and crews, built to utility standard, mobilized across Central New York and Pennsylvania.
HDD and directional boring under roads, rail, rivers, wetlands, and existing utilities — plus road, rail, and water crossings.

The same crews and iron serve two buyers — and our credibility with developers comes from our utility work. We build your gen-tie and substation civil to the utility's standard, because building to utility standard is what we do every day.
Electric duct bank and manholes, gas main and service, water and sewer, joint-utility trenching, HDD crossings, surface restoration, and 24/7 storm and emergency response — self-performed for utilities and their prime contractors.
Collection-system and gen-tie trenching and boring, interconnection and POI civil, substation grounding and duct bank, and access roads, pads, and grading for solar, wind, and battery storage across Central NY and PA.
Utility and renewables schedules live and die on the underground scope. When the crossing slips, every trade behind it stacks up. We plan the bore and the excavation as a schedule problem first — geotech read, drilling-fluid program, and utility locating in hand before the rig walks on — so the work gets done once, on the date you committed to.
Owner-operated rigs and crews mean we aren't waiting on rentals or stretching one financed machine across the schedule. You get one accountable contractor for the whole underground package.

National EPCs and developers don't have crews standing by in Central New York. We do — and we clear your prequal before you ask.
Directional drilling and excavation self-performed by the same company — no coordinating two subs across the underground scope.
Our rigs, our vac trucks, our excavators, our crews. We mobilize on your date instead of waiting on rentals.
We build to the standard the interconnecting utility inspects against — the reason developers trust us with gen-tie and substation civil.
Trench-safety competent persons, one-call / 811 discipline, and full insurance with COIs and additional-insured endorsements on request.
Syracuse, Utica, Binghamton, the Southern Tier, Finger Lakes, and the Northern-Tier PA counties — local crews, local response.
When utilities need surge crews after a storm or a strike, we mobilize — on call, day or night.
Our bores and excavations are planned and executed to the safety standards and trenchless practice the industry relies on, and every dig starts with a one-call locate. Useful references:
