Civil Underground

FB Group of Companies’ horizontal directional drilling (HDD) capabilities allow for the safe, timely and successful execution of projects in remote areas while drastically reducing the need for construction reclamation. This allows us to best support our clients and our local environments.

HDD has become the preferred method of underground installation, leading the industry in minimizing the impact to already developed areas. Hydrovac is a fast and accurate way to expose underground pipelines and utilities allowing for easy maintenance.

“There is always something new on the horizon at Forbes Bros!”

I have worked at Forbes Bros for six years now and have enjoyed watching the company grow and change. Since I started working at Forbes, we have expanded our operations into different lines of business and different geographical locations, including the United States. Every time the company grows, there is an opportunity for me to learn new things and expand my own knowledge base. This learning is supported, encouraged and appreciated by the company. There is always something new on the horizon at Forbes Bros!
