Underground Electrical
No ReKeying — Every Tech Arrives Knowing the Full History of That Unit
When a tech arrives at a site, the unit's full service history should be in their hand — not in a binder in the machine room or in a retired tech's memory. No ReKeying means every field entry becomes a permanent digital record linked to that specific equipment serial number.

How Equipment Service History Actually Looks in Underground Electrical
The Scenario
An underground electrical crew is back at a commercial site to pull conductors through conduit installed six weeks ago. The foreman doesn't know what pull string type was left in the conduit, what conduit bends are in the run, or whether any handholes were sealed.
The Real Impact
Without installation history accessible at the follow-up pull, crews spend 30–60 minutes re-tracing conduit paths before pulling — wasted time on a contract where the GC is tracking every delay.
Does This Sound Like Your Underground Electrical Operation?
- !Techs arrive with no knowledge of what was done to the unit last time
- !Service history is split across paper binders, emails, and one person's memory
- !Repeated diagnostics on the same unit because nobody documented the root cause
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Arriving without unit history adds 45–90 minutes of diagnostic re-work per service call. At $100/hour and 3 such calls per tech per week, that is $15K–$23K/year in wasted labor per technician.
What Underground Electrical Companies Typically Use
These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the equipment service history gap. That's what we build.
Underground Electrical Operational Challenges
- 1Underground conduit work requires locate verification before every trench
- 2Locate tickets filed by project — not linked to daily work orders
- 3No verification record that crew confirmed marks before excavation
- 4Damage claims require weeks of paper reconstruction
Compliance & Regulations
- A811 mandatory notification before excavation
- BNEC/NFPA 70 underground installation requirements
- CState electrical licensing board compliance
- DOSHA trench safety requirements (29 CFR 1926)
How We Fix Equipment Service History for Underground Electrical — No ReKeying
Map Your Workflow
We study exactly where equipment service history happens in your underground electrical operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Build a Working Prototype
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
Prove It Before You Pay
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the equipment service history problem, you don't pay.
