An owner-operated excavation and directional-drilling crew for utilities, EPCs, and renewables developers across Central New York and Pennsylvania. We self-perform both trades — and we build to the standard the interconnecting utility inspects against.
CNY Utility Group brings an established directional-drilling and excavation operation to Central New York and Pennsylvania — owner-operated, self-performing both trades, built to the standard the interconnecting utility inspects against. We're the regional crew national EPCs and developers don't have to mobilize from out of state.
The underground scope is where utility and renewables schedules live or die. When a 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. One accountable contractor, from bore pit to backfill.
The reasons procurement, EPC subcontracts managers, and developer PMs put us on the bench — and keep us there.
Directional drilling and excavation run by the same company — no coordinating two subs across the underground package, no finger-pointing when the schedule tightens.
Our rigs, our vac trucks, our excavators, our crews. We mobilize on your date instead of waiting on rentals or stretching one financed machine across the schedule.
We build to the standard the interconnecting utility inspects against — the reason developers trust us with gen-tie and substation civil.
Syracuse, Utica, Binghamton, the Southern Tier, Finger Lakes, and the Northern-Tier PA counties — local crews, local response, no out-of-state mobilization on your invoice.
Trench-safety competent persons and one-call / 811 discipline on every dig — we notify New York 811 and PA One Call before we break ground to protect existing utilities.
When utilities need surge crews after a storm or a strike, we mobilize — on call, day or night.
CNY Utility Group is led by an operator with years running directional-drilling crews in the field — planning bore paths, managing the drilling-fluid program, and calling the shots at the pit, not from a desk. That field experience is why we plan the underground scope as a schedule problem and why we hold to utility standard on every job.
We are licensed and insured, with COIs and additional-insured endorsements available on request. We onboard into the prequalification platform your project requires — ISNetworld, Avetta, or Veriforce — and provide bonding capacity [bonding capacity — confirm] and references on request.

We keep crews and iron in the region so owners get local response instead of an out-of-state mobilization line on the bid. Our core coverage:
Onondaga County and the greater Syracuse metro — electric, gas, water, and fiber underground.
Utica, Rome, and the Mohawk Valley — including lead service line work in active replacement programs.
Binghamton and the Southern Tier — utility distribution civil and rural fiber crossings.
The Finger Lakes region — distribution civil, water and sewer, and renewables balance-of-plant.
The Northern-Tier and Twin Tiers counties — gas, electric, and directional boring across the PA line.
24/7 surge response across the coverage area when utilities need crews after a storm or a strike.
Directional drilling, excavation, utility installation, and site work — the scope we self-perform.
