Traffic Signal Installation

Our team provides turnkey traffic signal solutions. From metal poles with WATSON foundations to traditional wood poles, in standard, wet, or very sandy conditions, we have the skills to deliver top-quality installations. Our after-installation services include annual contract maintenance for the traffic signals for the Department of Transportation or Municipalities.

Roadway Lighting

From the 80/100/120-foot-high mast light poles to the single-arm shoulder types to the twin-arm median, standard lights, we can install all Interstate/Interchange lighting. Additionally, our expertise includes installing the conduit raceways and cabling, as well as digging the concrete foundations. Maintenance and repair services are available for the Department of Transportation or Municipalities.

Street Lighting Projects

If your HID Street Lighting is still metal halide/high-pressure sodium Watson can help with the change out. LED is now the go-to choice, so what do you do with your existing old technology HID outdoor light fixtures? The answer is to change out the pole and fixture, retrofit them to LED or replace them with a new LED fixture.

Fiber Optic Communication Network

We provide new conduit raceways or existing wood pole attachments for fiber optic cabling to interconnect traffic signals. This assists in tying back to the Traffic Management Center for traffic monitoring in realtime. Live streaming information helps to manage and make decisions due to construction, accidents, or increased volume.

Dynamic Message Signs (DMS)

Used for relaying information to drivers along the interstates, the dynamic message signs display amber and silver alerts to weather alerts in case of evacuations or severe potentially deadly weather. Our DMS installation services include the concrete foundation, the structure, and the sign. Coupled with our fiber optic services, we can bring communications to the traffic management center, allowing for post warnings or alerts from a central location.

CCTV Management System

Installation of the CCTV management system along with the DMS and fiber optic systems allow for the Department of Transportation to watch, maintain, and manage traffic flow.

Founded in 1935, the success of the company over the years is grounded in the purpose that originally started the company.  Dick Watson wanted to bring electricity to eastern North Carolina during the depression.  It was an opportunity to bring good to the community while times were bad.  He was ahead of the curve.  Dick Watson was interested in ‘what’s next?’.

Watson Electrical looks for ‘what’s next?’ to bring opportunities to do good for our employees, customers and communities.  The founding purpose has fueled the company to grow and expand. From our first location in Wilson, NC, to the North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia areas we now cover, we are devoted to our employees, customers, and our communities.  

Over the years, we have many examples of ‘what’s next?’  Watson started its apprenticeship program in the 1950s.  We started using computers in the 1980s, programming our own accounting system and estimating system with labor factors.  We developed a productivity system in the 1970s leading to advanced job cost accounting.  Watson worked with East Carolina University to develop a Construction Management Training program in the 1990's.  We began Prefab in the early 2000s.  We started doing solar work in the early 2010s.  Our newest venture is Watson University.  Finding ‘What’s Next?’ insures we will perpetually do good for our employees, customers and communities.

Work Safe.  Work Smart.  Work Together.  #1Watson
