Blaine is the largest city in Anoka County, with an estimated 75,172 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 33 square miles of land. Part of the city extends into a neighboring county, so the exact address of a site matters.

Schools, parks and other public sites

Public sites, such as schools, parks and sports fields, have underground systems spread across large grounds: water lines to buildings, fields and concessions, sanitary sewer from restrooms and kitchens, storm drainage under parking and fields, and conduit for lighting, scoreboards and security. Their owners often plan work around school years, seasons or events.

Work on a public site usually involves:

Calendars

Scheduling the work when the site is least busy, with shutoffs announced in advance.

Records

The owner's drawings, because irrigation, field drainage and lighting circuits are usually private and not marked by the one-call process.

Exposure

Hydro excavation confirms existing lines at crossings and tie-ins before any trench or bore.

Surfaces

Fields, tracks and paved areas are protected, with conduit and pipe drilled beneath them where possible.

Restoration

To the owner's standard, often timed so turf can establish.

We also handle service line, lateral, storm and conduit work for homeowners and businesses in Blaine.

Gopher State One Call

Under Minnesota Statutes chapter 216D, a locate request goes to Gopher State One Call before excavation. Notice must be given at least 48 hours ahead, without the day of notice, weekends or holidays, and at most 14 calendar days ahead, and the ticket lasts 14 calendar days (section 216D.04). Because Blaine spans a county line, include the exact address.
