Headquarters buildings and their grounds
Large office headquarters often sit on generous, carefully landscaped grounds, with private utilities connecting the public systems to the building and to outbuildings, parking structures, gatehouses and site lighting. Their owners tend to have exacting standards for how the grounds look after any work.
Underground work on such a property is usually planned around three priorities:
Keeping the building running
Shutoffs are timed with facilities staff, and temporary arrangements are made where an interruption would last too long.
Protecting the grounds
Routes avoid specimen trees and features where possible; crossings of lawns, walks and drives are drilled rather than trenched; and irrigation and lighting are located and protected, since they are private and not marked by the one-call process.
Restoring to the owner's standard
Turf, beds, irrigation and pavement are put back to the standard agreed before the work begins.
Existing lines are confirmed with hydro excavation at every tie-in and crossing.
We also handle service line, lateral, storm and conduit work for homeowners and smaller businesses in Eden Prairie.
Gopher State One Call
Under Minnesota Statutes chapter 216D, a locate request goes to Gopher State One Call before excavation. Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. 216D.04) requires at least 48 hours of notice, not counting the day of notice, weekends or holidays, and no more than 14 calendar days; a ticket is valid for 14 calendar days.
