Hofsommer Excavating Inc. (HEI), based in Las Vegas, Nevada, has a rich history that dates back to the late 1950s when it began as Heinie's Trenching Service in Oakes, North Dakota. Founded by Henry Hofsommer, the company served its local community by providing trenching services for water, sewer, telephone, and power lines, alongside other excavation needs. Henry's son, Kent Hofsommer, joined the family business in 1960, and after Henry's passing in 1973, Kent continued to expand the company’s reach.
Over the decades, HEI has shifted its focus from traditional excavation methods to specializing in horizontal boring, a service early on recognized for its utility in laying down utility lines without extensive surface disruption. Initially engaged mostly in telephone projects across the United States, Hofsommer Excavating has evolved to address the growing needs across various sectors, including residential, commercial, governmental, and industrial projects.
HEI emphasizes the importance of adaptability, boasting state-of-the-art equipment that allows them to tackle challenging projects in diverse environments, including the distinctive rock and caliche found in Nevada. They are committed to providing high-quality services in horizontal boring, directional drilling, commercial site work, and more. Their team prides itself on reliability, sound ethics, and a dedication to managing projects of any size and complexity.
Hofsommer Excavating Inc. positions itself not as the biggest boring company but as the best, focusing on quality results and client satisfaction. They strive to be the go-to choice for boring and utility services in Nevada, often referred to as 'Your Boring Friends.' With a legacy of over 50 years in the industry, Hofsommer Excavating continues to uphold its reputation through a commitment to excellence and integrity.
