Directional Drilling Contractor Profile: Sorensen Companies Inc.

摘要

Utah utility contractor Sorensen Companies Inc. (SCI) was established by Craig Sorensen in 1977 with one old backhoe and used truck to install underground telephone cable. "My father was working for Mountain Bell, and he saw the ways cable was being put in the ground," said SCI president Chad Sorensen. "He believed he could do the job better - bury cable faster and more efficiently than it was being done, so he started a company to subcontract utility excavation." Basic telephone construction has evolved to building telecommunications networks and a significant part of SCI's work is in that market. Telecom work today includes FTTX (fiber-to-any- thing), cell tower and LTE (long-term evolution) construction. In addition, the company provides construction services for electrical power and natural gas distribution and water and sewer systems. Today, SCI has a fleet of more than 1,000 pieces of specialized equipment and trucks operating in the 14 western United States, with a primary focus in home state Utah and the Rocky Moun-tain region.
