Boring & Underground Construction in Callahan County, TX

Callahan County runs along I-20 and the Union Pacific line just east of Abilene. Clyde and Baird anchor it, and as the bedroom communities east of the city grow, so does the utility work — highway crossings, rural water and gas, and fiber builds.

Clyde and Baird both sit on the I-20 and Union Pacific corridor, so crossings under the highway and rail line come up on most utility extensions here; US-283 adds a north-south TxDOT crossing route through Baird.

Callahan County ground is the familiar West Texas mix of clay, caliche, and limestone, tooled accordingly. The county's oil history still brings the occasional gathering-line crossing.
