In 1996, Southeast Connections — then called Southeast Communications — employed one work crew. It owned only a mini-excavator, a trencher and a bucket truck. And it focused solely on installing fiber optic lines for telecommunications companies, primarily around Atlanta.
In the ensuing 28 years, things have changed dramatically. Today, the company employs about 1,600 people. It serves a variety of utility customers, primarily doing horizontal directional drilling for natural gas pipeline installations. Based in Conyers, Georgia, the company also has satellite facilities in nine states.Furthermore, it has served customers in at least two dozen states in the southeastern United States.
