Reusing former industrial and commercial land

When land that held a factory, a warehouse or a large store is redeveloped, the new owner inherits whatever lies beneath it: old water and fire lines, sewers and drains, storm systems, conduit and sometimes structures that no longer serve anything. Good redevelopment planning finds out what is there before designing what is needed.

The usual steps:

• collect whatever drawings and records exist, including the utility companies' records of old services;
• mark the live public facilities through Indiana 811;
• dig test holes with hydro excavation at planned connection points, crossings and any suspected lines;
• decide, with the engineer and the utilities, which old lines can be reused and which are to be abandoned or removed;
• empty old pits and structures with a vacuum truck before inspection or removal;
• install the new utilities, have them inspected and restore the site.

We also handle repairs and new connections for homeowners and businesses in Anderson.

Indiana 811

Indiana 811 receives locate requests under Indiana Code chapter 8-1-26. Indiana law (IC 8-1-26-16) requires at least two full working days of notice and no more than 10 calendar days, and a ticket is valid for 20 calendar days. Old private lines are not marked by that process. On a redevelopment site, the utilities' own records of past services are worth requesting early.

Mention the pipe or conduit size and material if you know them; they shape the method and the equipment for the Anderson work. Include the engineer's contact if one is involved.

We reply with questions before proposing a method.
