Turnkey EV Infrastructure

Portland's Single-Source Commercial EV Charging Contractor

Most EV charging projects fail at the seams: the drilling crew finishes and leaves, the concrete sub shows up two weeks later, the electrician argues about conduit sizing, and the charger sits in a crate while everyone points fingers. Lovett Services delivers the full scope under one contract. Our crews handle the underground bore, the concrete pad, the panel work, and the final charger installation as a single coordinated project.

Because our horizontal directional drilling, concrete, and electrical capabilities all live in house, we can compress timelines, eliminate scheduling gaps between trades, and stand behind the entire installation with a single warranty. Property managers, developers, fleet operators, and municipalities across the Portland metro use us when they need EV infrastructure delivered cleanly and on schedule.

What We Do

Core HDD Capabilities

Every bore path engineered for your site: precision that protects infrastructure, environments, and your bottom line.

Power Conduit Drilling

Underground HDD power conduit runs from the building panel or transformer to each charger pad location. Trenchless installation under active parking lots, driveways, and walkways keeps every surface intact and your property fully accessible during construction.

Communications Drilling

Network and communications conduit for connected and networked chargers, run alongside the power conduit or in dedicated trenchless bores. Supports charger management platforms, payment processing, remote diagnostics, and demand response integration.

Concrete Pads & Base Creation

Code-compliant concrete bunker pads and bollard protection engineered for your specific charger model. We factor in the manufacturer load spec, freeze-thaw cycling, ADA clearance, and vehicle impact protection so the base outlasts the hardware sitting on top of it.

Our Approach

How Our HDD Process Works

A precision-engineered four-phase approach that eliminates uncertainty and protects your property from start to finish.

01

Site Survey & Planning

We conduct a thorough site survey, identifying existing utilities, environmental constraints, and subsurface conditions to define the optimal bore path before any equipment arrives on site.

02

Our Team

Our engineers calculate the precise entry angle, bore depth, and arc trajectory to navigate around underground obstacles and meet all utility company specifications for your project.

03

Precision HDD Drilling

Our PGE-certified operators execute the bore with GPS-guided drilling equipment, tracking the drill head in real time to follow the engineered path with pinpoint accuracy.

04

Utility Pull-Through & Restoration

Once the bore is complete, we pull the conduit, pipe, or cable through and restore all entry and exit points, leaving your property clean, intact, and fully operational.

Use Cases

Where Directional Drilling Adds the Most Value

In many scenarios, HDD isn’t just a preference: it’s the only viable solution to prevent massive logistical and financial disruptions on your property.

Crossing Busy Municipal Roads

We provide trenchless sewer and utility line installation under road surfaces to prevent disruptive traffic closures, complex municipal permitting delays, and costly asphalt repaving, keeping your project on schedule without shutting down surrounding streets.

Protecting Parking Lots & Hardscapes

HDD is the safest and most cost-effective way to install conduit under driveways, commercial parking areas, and retail centers without tearing up freshly paved surfaces or disrupting customer and tenant access.

Fiber Optic & Communication Lines

We perform precision driveway sleeve installation and fiber optic boring for high-speed communication lines, upgraded security networks, and data infrastructure, ensuring your systems are protected underground without surface damage.

Bypassing Environmental Obstacles

Our advanced line boring services allow us to drill safely under heritage trees, wetlands, protected landscaping, or existing building foundations without causing ecological or structural damage that conventional trenching would inflict.

The Real Cost of Trenching

Protect Your Assets. Protect Your Revenue.

The true cost of an infrastructure project goes far beyond the contractor’s bid. Traditional open-cut excavation carries massive hidden costs that HDD eliminates entirely.

By avoiding the mess, heavy machinery footprint, and access restrictions of traditional trenching, daily operations at your multifamily building, industrial park, or retail center continue uninterrupted, protecting your physical assets and your revenue simultaneously.
