Yakima Valley

Riddco is Yakima Valley's trusted underground utility contractor. Since our 1989 move to Yakima, we've built a reputation for reliable civil infrastructure work across Yakima, Union Gap, and communities throughout the valley.

Underground utility work in Yakima Valley

Yakima Valley is our home. Our crews live here, work here, and know this valley as well as the utility maps do. From the Yakima and Union Gap metro to Selah, Toppenish, Sunnyside, and the rural communities in between, Riddco handles directional drilling, vacuum excavation, and underground civil construction for telecom and power partners across the region.

Forty years of local work means our crews know the routes, the right-of-way constraints, and the inspectors at every jurisdiction. When a telecom PM needs a civil contractor who already knows Yakima Valley, Riddco is the call.

Services available in Yakima Valley

Directional drilling with rock drilling capability

Precision underground boring for telecom, fiber, and power infrastructure. Our directional drilling crews handle everything from small-bore fiber installs to large-diameter utility crossings while keeping surface disruption to a minimum. Rock drilling equipment lets us break through the hard-ground conditions that stop standard rigs.

Equipment deployed: Ditch Witch JT2020 (directional drill), Ditch Witch AT40 (rock drill), and Ditch Witch JT60 All Terrain (rock drill). Our full drilling fleet is based here in Yakima Valley, minutes from most job sites.

Hydro excavation with two Vactor trucks

Safe, non-destructive excavation for utility locating, potholing, and emergency response. Hydro excavation exposes live power, fiber, and gas infrastructure without the strike risk that comes with mechanical digging. Our two-truck vac fleet delivers response capacity for back-to-back utility exposures, multi-day potholing runs, and emergency calls across Yakima Valley.

Equipment deployed: International Vactor 2100 and Freightliner Vactor 2100.

Trenching and plowing for long-run cable and conduit

Trenching and cable plowing for underground infrastructure runs across open terrain. Ride-on trenchers cut precise channels for cable and conduit; cable plows pull product directly into the ground for long-run direct-bury work. Based locally in Yakima Valley, our trenching equipment is minutes from most valley job sites.

Aerial and overhead civil support

Civil groundwork for overhead power and telecom infrastructure. Our crews dig pole holes, set poles to grade, and install anchors to utility partner specifications. The electrical or telecom crew that follows handles the connections. Our aerial civil crews work regularly across Yakima County for utility partners.
