Underground Utility Contractor in Bloomington, MN

Bloomington is a city in Hennepin County, with an estimated 88,344 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 35 square miles of land.

Large commercial properties

Large commercial properties, such as shopping centers and hotels, run on extensive private utilities: water loops and fire lines around buildings, sanitary laterals from many tenants, storm systems under acres of pavement and parking structures, and conduit for lighting, signs and power. They also rarely close.

Underground work on such a property usually involves:

• the property's own utility drawings, reviewed with the one-call marks, because private lines are usually not marked by the one-call process;
• exposing lines with hydro excavation at tie-ins and crossings;
• phasing the work to keep entrances, drives and parking open, with directional drilling under busy drive aisles;
• timing shutoffs with tenants and management;
• cleaning storm structures and catch basins with a vacuum truck;
• restoring pavement, curbs and striping to the owner's standard.

We also handle water service, lateral, storm and conduit work for residential and public owners in Bloomington.
