Housing growth and its utilities

When new homes are built in numbers, whether as subdivisions, townhome communities or apartment complexes, the underground work comes first and comes in a sequence. Sanitary sewer and storm sewer are set to their design grades; water mains with valves and hydrants follow, then a service to every lot or building; conduit for power and communications is laid before paving.

Each system is built to the specification of the owner that will accept it, inspected and tested before it is covered, and then handed over. Changes in the field, such as an unexpected existing line, a different ground condition or a revised layout, are coordinated with the engineer and the system owner.

Directional drilling is often used where a new system must cross an existing road at the edge of the development, and hydro excavation exposes existing utilities at those crossings.

Once homes are occupied, the work becomes repairs and replacements on individual lines, requested by homeowners, associations and landlords. We also take on larger jobs for businesses and public owners.

NC811

NC811 is the notification center for North Carolina under the Underground Utility Safety and Damage Prevention Act. The law sets the notice at no less than three full working days before excavation, and a ticket expires 28 calendar days after the work start date. Development work also follows each system owner's inspections.
