When it comes to verifying pipeline integrity, no two digs are ever the same — but every one of them demands precision, flexibility, and zero margin for error. For a major energy operator in the Northeast, Charps put this mindset into action, executing a high-stakes integrity dig program across some of the region’s most challenging environments.
From tight urban parking lots wedged between hotels and dealerships to riverbeds, rail corridors, and congested rights-of-way, each dig site posed unique constraints. Unexpected environmental windows, contaminated soils, shallow utilities, groundwater surprises — you name it, Charps handled it. And we did it without blowing timelines, budgets, or regulatory compliance.
Planning You Can Count On
Every successful dig starts with planning. At Charps, the same superintendent who builds the plan leads the crew on site — ensuring every variable, from spoil zones to shoring and access points, is accounted for. We keep our clients informed with daily updates and full documentation, so there’s no guesswork — just clear, verified ground truth.
Adaptability in Action
When conditions change, Charps pivots without missing a beat. During this program, we adjusted scopes on the fly, resequenced work, brought in specialized equipment fast, and redeployed crews where they were needed most. From protecting sensitive waterways with amphibious excavators to performing tie-ins in cramped city lots and solving casing shorts under live rail lines, our team’s field-tested problem-solving kept every dig moving forward.
Results That Build Confidence
Every dig delivered what mattered most: verified pipeline integrity and full confidence for the operator. We didn’t just meet schedules — we protected budgets, maintained regulatory trust, and gave our client clear, actionable insight for future planning. That’s how Charps helps operators find their happy place — in the field, where we thrive on solving the unexpected.
