Our team’s skills have been put to practice on thousands of projects which include life and science, master-planned communities, single-family and multi-family subdivisions, affordable and senior housing, school district sites, commercial and retail developments, as well as City and County redevelopment projects. We are confident in our ability to provide your project with the management, design, support, and representation it needs!

EPI has designed numerous Overhead to Underground Conversions. EPI provides the engineering, and design including the development of the construction package for bid as well as coordination with all stakeholders; including all impacted customers, the communication companies, and the utility. The construction bid set typically includes the conversion package, the communication joint trench work, City designed streetlights, City designed ADA sidewalk curb ramps and street resurfacing improvements. As an example, for the City of San Diego Block 4Y project, our team provided electrical design services for the Dry Utilities Undergrounding Program. This was a “20SD Conversion” which is a negotiated agreement between SDG&E and the City and approved by the CPUC. This project involved the replacement of overhead electric facilities with new underground electrical services for the conversion of 405 residences, one apartment complex, and one commercial mall in the Block 4Y area (San Diego Skyline Area).
