Underground Projects

2019, Los Molinos Rule 20 Relocation, PG&E

Outback Underground relocated and lowered an existing joint trench package to allow for a new storm drain installation project to prevent flooding along the highway.

2019 Butte County

After devastating wildfires in Butte County, Outback was there to help restore power, gas, and communications to those affected by the fires.

2021 Highway 162

Outback used rock trenchers excavators to hammer through the difficult terrain. We also installed almost three miles of primary underground duct and over 15 large primary vaults.

2021 North Complex Fire Rebuild

Working in the tough mountain terrain with limited services, Outback was part of the efforts to restore power to the town of Berry Creek, CA. Through the burial of essential power lines, the team was able to support the town and the entire community with access to vital energy- a major accomplishment.
Their expertise is second to none. There are not too many people that I know that can go do what Outback does.
