Our Commitment

We’re more than a contractor—we’re a long-term partner for utility companies, general contractors, developers, energy providers, and cooperatives. Our goal is to build infrastructure that lasts, while protecting the environment and community around it.

Infrastructure shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. ERTEL combines full-service utility installation with advanced, low-impact boring and excavation technology. By handling everything in-house, we reduce site footprints and protect developed landscapes, making us the ideal partner for utility work in South Carolina’s busiest corridors and most sensitive coastal areas.
