Summary

Outdoor electrical work often brings surprises. For this property in Steinhatchee, we were asked to install a new 200-amp underground service with a raised access platform to meet local code. Challenging soil and last-minute changes shaped the project from start to finish.

The Work

Installed a 200-amp meter pedestal service using underground PVC conduit for safety and durability
Excavated and backfilled trench for conduit and grounding, completing all work to NEC standards
Built a code-compliant 48" x 48" elevated service platform with stairs, handrails, and guardrails for safe access
Coordinated with local authorities and utility for permits, inspection, and power connection

The Outcome

The property now has a secure, accessible electrical service ready for utility hookup. The larger platform meets inspection requirements and offers safe, long-term access. Underground service protects wiring from weather and helps keep the area looking natural.
