Commercial & multifamily
Charging infrastructure that does not shut the lot down
Workplaces, HOAs, apartment decks, and small fleets need conduit under pavement that is already earning money. We design the electrical, pull the permit, and bore the path with our own directional drilling and missile boring crews.
A commercial charger is an electrical job and a civil job. Treat it as only one of those and you either get a trench through a parking aisle or a beautiful wall unit with no legal path to power. L3 EV Chargers keeps both trades in-house.
What we take on
- Workplace and customer Level 2 (and make-ready for future DC)
- Multifamily and condo garage rooms, including load management
- Fleet depots and warehouse yards
- Panel, transformer, and utility coordination
- Permitting, inspection, and as-built documentation
Property managers usually want two numbers: installed cost, and how many days the lot is disrupted. Trenchless conduit is how the second number stays small.
In-house, not subcontracted
How we put conduit in the ground without tearing up the property
Most electricians trench. That means a saw cut through asphalt or concrete, a ditch through the lawn, and a restoration bill that often rivals the charger itself. We keep directional drilling and missile boring in-house so the electrical crew and the underground crew are the same company — same schedule, same warranty.
Horizontal directional drilling
A compact drill rig stages at one end of the planned path. The operator drills a small-diameter pilot hole under the driveway, sidewalk, parking lot, or landscaping, steered by a locating beacon in the drill head. When the pilot comes out at the far pit, conduit is attached to a reamer and pulled back through the hole. The only disturbed ground is the entry pit and the exit pit — typically a few square feet each.
We use HDD when the run is longer, needs to curve around utilities, or has to stay a designed depth under a finished surface.
Missile boring
For shorter, straight crossings — a driveway, a sidewalk, a parking aisle — a pneumatic piercing tool (the “missile”) is launched from a small pit. Compressed air drives it through the soil in a straight line. Conduit is then pulled or pushed through the hole. Faster and lighter than a full HDD spread, and the right tool when you only need to get under twenty to forty feet of pavement.
If the path is short and straight, missile boring is usually the cleaner, cheaper answer. We will tell you which method actually fits rather than selling the bigger machine.
This is the same trenchless work we already perform for underground utilities. Putting it on an EV job is not a novelty — it is how you keep pavers, coral stone, and a busy parking lot intact. See commercial work.
