Building the underground network that keeps communities connected.
IST is a utility construction contractor specialized in fiber and underground infrastructure: directional drilling, trenching, plowing, conduit, fiber placement, boxes and restoration — delivered safely, on schedule, with full documentation.
Everything below the surface, one accountable partner.
From the first bore to the last pedestal, our crews build, document and restore — so your network goes live on time and the neighborhood looks the way we found it.
Horizontal directional drilling
Bores under roads, driveways and sensitive areas with minimal surface disruption. Locating, pilot, reaming and pullback in one crew.
Trenching & plowing
Open-cut trench and vibratory plow for long runs, with conduit placement, bedding and compaction to spec.
Fiber placement
Conduit, microduct and fiber cable placement by pull or blow, with handhole-to-handhole documentation print by print.
Boxes, pedestals & vaults
Handholes, pedestals and vaults set to grade, plus cabinets and terminal work for FTTH builds.
Restoration
Concrete, asphalt, sod and landscape restoration that closes the job without callbacks.
Project management & reporting
Work orders, daily production with photos and GPS, as-builts and claims handled in our own portal.
Built for carriers and prime contractors that need reliable production.
We run our own crews and vetted partner crews under one standard: the same work orders, the same daily reporting, the same safety rules.
- Production tracked by span and print, validated every day by our supervisors.
- Photo and GPS evidence for every daily — audit-ready for your invoicing.
- Damage prevention program: locates, potholing and utility protocols on every bore.
- Transparent partner payments and documentation through the IST Web Portal.
- Crews in Houston-area Texas and North Carolina, with Dallas next.
A simple, documented path from print to payment.
The same four steps on every project, whether it is a 300 ft service drop or a 30,000 ft backbone.
Work order & prints
Client work orders become IST work orders by span, with prints, permits and clear tickets.
Crew assignment
Each crew gets its Kamban card: quantities, prints and due dates, in the field on their phone.
Daily production
Crews report by span with photos and GPS; supervisors validate the same day.
Invoicing & payment
Validated production drives your invoice and our partners' weekly payments — no surprises.
Safety is the first line of every work order. Daily tailgate briefings, 811 locates and potholing before every bore, traffic control plans, PPE compliance and incident reporting through the portal. Our supervisors walk every active site.
Zero damage, zero rework — that is the job.
We measure ourselves on production that passes inspection the first time and on the neighborhoods we leave behind. Damages and claims are tracked, resolved and reported to you openly.
