Underground Utility Contractor in Bloomington, IN

Bloomington is the largest city in Monroe County, with an estimated 79,986 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 23 square miles of land.

Multi-building properties

Campuses, apartment complexes and office parks often have several buildings fed by private lines from a single connection to each public system. When a building is added, renovated or has a failure, the work touches that private network rather than the public one.

Work on a private network usually involves:

• the owner's utility drawings, because private lines are not always marked by the one-call process;
• confirming the line's route and depth with hydro excavation at the points where work will happen;
• planning shutoffs so that other buildings stay in service, with valves located and tested in advance;
• choosing between trenching and directional drilling for routes beneath walks, drives and lawns that stay in use;
• restoring surfaces to the owner's standard.

Storm structures and pits on such properties can be cleaned with a vacuum truck, and conduit can be added for lighting, security or power.

We also handle single-line work for homeowners and small businesses in Bloomington, and larger projects for public owners.
