Underground Utility Contractor in Gainesville, FL

Gainesville is the largest city in Alachua County, with an estimated 148,720 residents (2024 Census estimate) and about 64 square miles of land.

Conduit for power and communications

Underground power installation is often less visible than water and sewer work, but it follows similar rules. Cable is protected inside conduit, laid in a trench or pulled through a drilled bore, between a source such as a transformer pad or a pedestal and the building or equipment it serves. The conduit's size, depth, separation from other utilities and the location of pull boxes are set by the owner's and the electric utility's requirements.

Which parts of a power project are handled by whom depends on the project and the electric utility. We define that scope with you when you request a quote.

Water, sewer and storm

The same Gainesville sites often need water and sewer services and storm drainage as well. New buildings need connections to the public systems; existing ones need repairs when a line fails. Each job starts by locating what is already buried, continues with a trench or a bore, and ends with backfill and surface restoration to the owner's standard.

We work for institutional and public owners, developers, businesses and homeowners.

Notice before digging

Sunshine 811 is Florida's one-call center. Chapter 556, Florida Statutes, requires a locate request before excavation. The law (section 556.105) sets the notice at no less than two full business days, weekends and holidays excluded, and keeps a ticket valid for 30 calendar days.

Gainesville and nearby towns

Alachua, Newberry, Waldo, Micanopy, La Crosse and Brooker are among the communities near Gainesville. We serve them the same way: send the address, the kind of line, the work you need and any drawings, and we will follow up with questions.

For work on a campus or a large property, include the utility drawings and the name of whoever coordinates shutoffs, so the plan can respect the buildings that have to stay in use.
