Renewing every connection in one project

Sometimes a property needs more than a single repair: a building is being rebuilt or substantially renovated, and every underground connection is reconsidered at once. That is a chance to replace old lines, resize services for new needs and route them better.

A whole-site approach usually covers:

Inventory

What services exist today, what they are made of and whether the utilities will accept them for the new building.

Design

The sizes and routes of the new water service, fire line, sanitary lateral, storm connections and conduit, set by the owner's engineer and the utilities' requirements.

Sequencing

Gravity lines first, then water, then conduit, timed with the building work so that the utilities are ready when the building needs them.

Disconnection

Old services abandoned or removed as the owner and the utilities require.

Existing lines are located through Missouri 811 and exposed with hydro excavation, and crossings of roads or drives can be drilled.

We also take on smaller jobs in Joplin, such as single repairs and new connections, for homeowners, businesses and public owners.

Missouri 811

Under RSMo 319.026, excavators give Missouri 811 at least two and no more than ten working days of notice; a ticket is valid for 21 calendar days from the start date. Include the exact address, as Joplin spans a county line.
