Underground work for mixed-use and commercial buildings
A new or renovated mixed-use building usually needs more from its utilities than the one before it: a larger domestic water service, a separate fire line, a bigger sanitary connection, storm collection from roofs and paved areas, and conduit for a higher electrical load. Those lines have to be routed from the public systems in the street to the building, often through a site with little room to spare.
Planning that work comes down to a few questions:
Where are the connection points?
The water main, the sewer main or force main, the storm system and the electrical service point each set the start of a run.
What lies in between?
Sidewalks, landscaping, other utilities and neighboring structures decide whether a trench is practical or whether a drilled crossing would disturb less.
What does each owner require?
The utility, the right-of-way owner and the building owner each have specifications, inspections and restoration standards.
We also repair service lines and laterals for single-family owners.
