Large sites, long runs

Corporate and commercial sites tend to sit on large parcels with long distances between the public main and the building, and between buildings on the same campus. Long runs bring their own questions: where they can cross drives and parking, how far the surface can be disturbed, and how existing lines along the route are protected.

Directional drilling is often considered for long crossings under pavement that must stay open. It needs room for entry and exit pits and enough knowledge of the ground and existing utilities along the bore path. Where the route crosses lawn or undeveloped ground, an open trench may be simpler. Hydro excavation is used along the way to expose existing lines at crossings.

Hydro vacuum services can also clean out storm structures, detention outlets, pits and sumps on large properties.

For homes, the jobs are shorter but no less particular: a water service, a sewer lateral or a storm connection, reached with as little disturbance as the site allows.

Before excavation

Illinois requires a locate request through JULIE before digging. On large private sites, private lines such as site lighting, irrigation and storm systems may not be marked by that process, so drawings and facilities staff knowledge are essential.
