Hydro Excavation:

We use Hydro Excavation for excavation, a technique that uses pressurized water and an industrial-strength vacuum to excavate and suction up soil in one process. Hydro Excavation is a reliable and safe method of removing undesirable soil while instantly transferring it into a debris tank.

Advantages of Hydro Excavation:

● Non-mechanical
● Non-destructive
● Environmentally-friendly
● Cost-effective process

Hydro Excavation significantly reduces the risk of any potential utility damage, as it uses no metal or sharp objects in the process. It is also very effective for instances of frozen soil. Hydro excavation uses heated water, making it more efficient than traditional digging equipment, which is always at risk in frozen soil situations.

Did you know that Hydro Excavation can take place remotely and in no way sacrifices precision? This means that it will not harm any of the soil surrounding the site besides what’s being removed. So what does this result in?

● Safe, quick, and accurate excavation
● Less backfill, labor, and restoration (huge savings!)
● Less environmental harm than traditional excavation techniques

Now that’s smart excavating!

Roadway Weather Information Systems:

We install and maintain roadway weather information systems to provide the most up to date weather alerts to ensure safe driving preparedness for all weather conditions. These systems are used by consumers, media outlets, as well as local and Federal Government to bring the general public the most accurate road-related weather information available. Using Environmental Sensor Stations, our Roadway Weather Information Systems measure visibility, water levels, and atmospheric conditions in real-time. Used by private vendors, state Departments of Transportation, as well as media outlets such as television, and radio broadcasters, our Roadway Weather Information Systems also display air temperature and humidity, visibility, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, rain type and rate, lightning strikes, storm location, as well as air quality.

Our systems also accurately inform users soil temperature, water level data include stream, river, and lake levels near roads, as well as tide levels keeping our roads safe, and our officials informed.

Traffic Management:

We’ve been managing Pennsylvania traffic for over 4 decades, in effort to keep the roadways safe, organized, efficient, and environmentally friendly. It all happens as we install, integrate, and maintain traffic systems, while remaining cost effective and environmentally friendly. It’s accomplished by incorporating video wall integration, traffic camera monitoring, real-time traffic monitoring, automated warning systems, road weather information systems, highway advisory radio, and dynamic message signs into local roadways.

Whatever you need, Kuharchik Construction, Inc. is ready to install it fast, and within any style budget.

Transportation Preemption:

Although we install traffic signals, we also specialize in equipping these traffic signals to receive Transportation Preemption signals. These signals manage public services, such as EMS, fire, and police vehicles- ensuring quick and safe arrival by stopping traffic when any sort of emergency occurs. Emergency Preemption Device signals also give public transportation, like school buses, priority access through intersections. This aids in shortening commute time, but it also allows for more accurate scheduling. Transportation Preemption gives emergency responders control over traffic flow, keeping communities safer, and ensuring emergency officials get where they need to be as quick as they can get there.

Normally, a vehicle equipped with a preemption device will use it when approaching a red signal to immediately change the signal to green. The range for a mobile infrared transmitter is typically about 1,500 feet.

By giving preemptive green lights to emergency responders, you can clear the traffic blocking their route and get emergency responders to their destination quickly and safely.

• In most American cities, emergency response times are only increasing as traffic gets worse. The preemption system is an efficient and cost-effective way to take action.

• Vehicle crashes accounted for over 25% of firefighter fatalities in 2017. Proactively clearing traffic and bringing the rest of the intersection to a halt can help prevent these crashes.

• Adaptive preemption and priority systems clear traffic ahead of a vehicle’s arrival, which can reduce response times by as much as 20% .

Underground Construction:

Kuharchik Construction, Inc. doesn’t stop on the surface. We are known for quality work below the ground, too. We have experience constructing both manholes and conduit. Safety during these jobs is priority, and our employees are all confined-space literate, and equipped with any necessary safety equipment. For contracts requiring a substantial amount of wiring, or when already existing roads or structures are present, we construct utility duct banks that contain power, utility, and fiber optics. There are several benefits to utility duct cables, as they make repairs easy and keep all of the electrical cables in a central location.

Microwave Sensors:

Traffic management is an extremely important element of traffic safety, and having continued and managed flow. Because of this, Kuharchik Construction Inc. offers Microwave Sensor installation. These sensors monitor traffic patterns and collect data which aids in measuring a roadway’s traffic. This information is used to keep you safe, and to make your commute to work faster. Microwave sensors require very little maintenance, and are easy to install, because they do not force lane shutdowns. We stock our warehouse full of every device you may need, to ensure our certified team can quickly install the highest quality Microwave Sensors. Microwave Sensors can be seen in graphs used to display traffic information on Google.

Splicing / Testing / Thermal Imaging:

Our electricians use a variety of methods to diagnose any electrical issue. Even the most extreme electrical challenge can be managed by one of the highly skilled union electricians employed by Kuharchik Construction. High potential and transformer testing, through the use of thermal imaging applications, allow electricians to pinpoint the problem and fix it permanently. Whatever the problem, we have the resources to repair surge protectors and a number of high voltage processes, including: Splicing, Cabling, Testing, Metering, Distribution, Substation work, and Transformers just to name a few.

Directional Boring & Trenching:

We have years of success completing these directional boring projects. Unlike traditional road construction methods, which require lane closings and traffic delays, Kuharchik Construction Inc. works below the surface. Directional Boring is also known as Directional Drilling, or Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), and we have years of success completing these Directional Boring projects. We don’t cut through asphalt and concrete- we drill horizontally and use high density polyurethane pipes to run wires and conduits underground. Kuharchik Construction Inc. also has the capabilities of open cut trenching as well. We have the equipment to trench through rock, asphalt, and dirt, regardless of the location. Directional boring allows us to avoid underground utility lines. Utility lines are test pitted to expose the lines, as our skilled technicians view the boring head as it carefully foregoes the test pit. After this is done we use HDPE pipe which gives us the flexibility to go over, or under, any lines. Directional boring has been widely used by signal & utility contractors for the past 12 years. Kuharchik uses this practice on all of our projects.
Other reasons we use Directional Boring:

• LESS DAMAGE: We can locate the depth of the boring head using a special electronic locater. No other boring method or jacking method will be able to do this. Property owners will have less disruption, and overall impact from restoration processes.

• REDUCED DISRUPTION: The effect on traffic will be minimized since we do not have to shut the entire lane to do directional boring.

• ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Directional Boring causes little-to-no lasting impact on the environment. It is suitable to a variety of soil conditions and will be significantly less destructive then conventional methods of jack and bore.

Fiber Optic Cabling:

With pride- a select number of Kuharchik Construction Inc. employees are certified to splice and install Fiber Optic Cables. We specialize in several different fiber applications including: variable message sign installation, traffic signal inter connections, and roadway camera installation/repairs. Fiber Optics Cables are one of the fastest ways to send information. Fiber Optics Cables use light, and are usually bundled with each cable, insulated in a protective sheath. The Fiber Optic Cables can be used to transmit information long distances, or between buildings and road signs. All of our Fiber Optic Cable options maximize road safety- and keep traffic flowing. No matter the Fiber Optic Cable job you have, we can get it done quick, safe, and within you budget.
