Live Oak Power

What goes into a safe excavation? Planning, coordination, and crews who execute with precision in the field. The work below the surface sets everything that follows. #LiveOakPower #FieldFirst #Undergrounding #UtilityConstruction

Underground work isn’t hard because it’s physical. It’s hard because everything depends on decisions made before anyone sees a problem. By the time an issue shows up in the trench, it’s already late. The real work happens earlier. In walk-throughs. In questions asked twice. In slowing things down when the pressure says speed up. Foremen and supers carry more than production. They carry uncertainty. Unknown utilities. Incomplete records. Soil that doesn’t match the report. Equipment that’s wearing faster than planned. Schedules that don’t flex just because the ground doesn’t cooperate. And still, the expectations don’t change. Crews need clarity. Jobs need momentum. People need to go home safe. That balance is the job. Not pushing through at all costs. Not stopping every time something shifts. But knowing when the smartest move is to pause, adjust, and protect the people doing the work. That judgment doesn’t come from a plan set. It comes from experience. #FieldFirst #Undergrounding #ConstructionLeadership #LiveOakPower

This year’s Holiday Party brought the full Live Oak family together — field teams, support staff, spouses, and partners. In our line of work, long days, early mornings, and tough conditions are part of the job. None of what we accomplish happens alone. The strength behind our crews — at home and on the job — is a huge part of who we are. We closed the night by raising funds for Hard Hat Courage, an organization doing meaningful work for construction workers and their families. Thank you to everyone who makes this work — and this community — what it is. #LiveOakPower #ConstructionLife #TeamCulture
