Alfred Miller has deep roots in Gulf Coast industrial construction. Duct Bank One was built for a broader mission — designing, manufacturing, and delivering precast duct banks for any contractor, on any site, across the country. We’re not a construction company that happens to make precast. We’re a manufacturer engineered for scalability, neutrality, and repeatable results.

Capacity Is the Difference
Alfred Miller produces a range of precast components. DBO produces one: duct banks. With a fully integrated quarry, cement terminal, and 24/7 operations, we deliver far more volume than a mixed-product plant can achieve. That’s why we can support large data center and industrial campuses at speeds Alfred Miller can’t match.
Why the Contractor-Agnostic Model Matters
DBO doesn’t self-perform or compete with electrical or civil contractors. We build the product, you build the project. That means:
- No overlap in scope or labor.
- No conflicts of interest.
- Full transparency on cost, schedule, and installation.
Contractors keep full control while leveraging DBO’s manufacturing, logistics, and training infrastructure.
Nationwide Delivery, Local Precision
With a dedicated logistics network and regional staging yards, DBO delivers duct banks anywhere in the U.S.
- Coordinated freight scheduling to match trench progress.
- On-site stockpiling to prevent downtime.
- Support teams available for startup and sequencing guidance.
Alfred Miller’s regional focus limits availability outside the Gulf Coast; DBO is built for programs spanning multiple states or phases.
Safety and Speed, Engineered
DBO’s guided dowel-pin system ensures alignment with less in-trench work — operators set within 18 inches, pins handle the rest. That design consistently delivers sub-5-minute sets per 10-ft section and same-day backfill. Crews stay above grade, exposure time drops, and trench turnover accelerates.
Why GCs and ECs Choose DBO
- Dedicated duct-bank expertise, not a sideline operation.
- No self-perform conflict — pure manufacturer partnership.
- Verified schedule reliability and QC documentation.
- Nationwide capacity and responsive delivery.
DBO isn’t bound by region or trade. We’re the duct-bank partner built for everyone who builds infrastructure.
