Expert Potholing Services in Monterey County
By Devco Development & Engineering
Devco Development & Engineering provides professional Potholing (utility daylighting) services in Monterey County, California, supporting municipal infrastructure, utility providers, and private developments throughout coastal, urban, and agricultural environments. Using precision hydro excavation, we safely expose underground utilities to confirm their exact location and depth prior to construction.
Monterey County includes dense urban corridors, coastal communities, major roadways, and productive agricultural land. In these environments, utility conflicts can disrupt traffic, access, and operations. Potholing reduces uncertainty by verifying utilities at crossings, tie-ins, and conflict points—helping projects proceed safely and on schedule.
