Underground Services
Engineered Solutions for Complex Underground Structures
LJB Underground Services specializes in underground infrastructure, bringing unmatched tunneling, geotechnical and structural expertise to support projects from early planning and design to construction oversight. With 15+ years of experience on more than 100 tunneling projects worldwide, we have worked on some of the most challenging and important underground infrastructure projects in North America.
Where We Excel
We deliver high-quality underground and tunneling solutions even when timelines are tight, conditions are complex, and the stakes are high.
We combine the agility of a specialized team with the depth of international experience gained across Europe, North America, South America and beyond.
When a tunnel, portal, shaft, or crossing requires something beyond standard practice, ours is the team people call.
Clients return again and again because of our consistency, honesty, and ability to support them through unpredictable situations.
