The Groundwork That Keeps Systems Connected

Installation of underground conduit and electrical site utilities for commercial, industrial, and municipal projects in Des Moines, Iowa.

Before any building in Des Moines can operate, power has to reach it from the utility connection point, and that path is built underground. Jenson Electric, LLC. installs underground conduit and electrical site utilities for new construction and infrastructure upgrades, coordinating with site developers, utility providers, and local inspectors to ensure accurate routing and proper depth.

This service includes trenching, conduit installation, grounding, and connections to transformers, panels, and other site infrastructure. You get a system that protects wiring from damage, allows for future expansions, and meets code requirements for burial depth and materials. Work is performed on large commercial sites, industrial facilities, and municipal properties throughout Des Moines.

If your project requires underground electrical infrastructure, reach out to Jenson Electric, LLC. to coordinate site utility installation in Des Moines.

What Gets Buried and Why It Matters

Your site is excavated along planned routes, conduit is laid at code-compliant depths, and all connections are made before trenches are backfilled. Grounding systems are installed at utility connections and service entrances, and all work is inspected before the site is restored in Des Moines.

After the work is completed, power flows from the utility transformer to the building without exposed wiring, and future repairs or expansions can be made by pulling new conductors through the installed conduit. You do not see the conduit, but you notice that the site is graded properly, paving is undisturbed, and the electrical system operates as intended from day one.

This service is critical for new construction, site redevelopment, and infrastructure projects where reliable long-term electrical service depends on accurate groundwork. It includes coordination with utility providers to locate existing lines and avoid conflicts. Conduit materials are selected for durability, and all installations are documented for future reference.

What to Expect During Site Utility Work

These are the questions that come up when planning underground electrical infrastructure for a new building or site expansion.

What is included in site utility installation?
You get trenching, conduit installation, grounding, connections to utility equipment, and coordination with site grading and paving schedules. All work is performed to meet local code and utility provider requirements in Des Moines.
How deep does conduit need to be buried?
Burial depth depends on conduit type and local code, but most installations are between 18 and 24 inches below grade for electrical service conduit. Deeper burial may be required under driveways or areas with heavy loads.
What happens if the site layout changes?
Changes are addressed before trenching begins whenever possible. If adjustments are needed after conduit is installed, new routes are evaluated and additional trenching is performed as required.
How is underground work coordinated with other trades?
Jenson Electric, LLC. works with site developers, utility companies, and other contractors to schedule trenching and conduit installation around grading, utility connections, and paving. Coordination prevents delays and avoids conflicts with other underground infrastructure.
What documentation is provided after installation?
You receive as-built drawings showing conduit routes, depths, and connection points. This documentation is critical for future service work, expansions, or repairs that require locating buried conduit.
