Underground Utility Contractor in Kokomo, IN

Kokomo is the largest city in Howard County, with an estimated 60,093 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 37 square miles of land.

Plant expansions

When a manufacturing plant adds a building, a production line or a new process, its underground utilities usually grow with it. New equipment may need more water or cooling, a new fire service, new drains to the sanitary or industrial system, larger storm capacity for added roofs and paving, and conduit for power and controls.

Planning expansion work inside an operating plant involves:

The design

The engineer's drawings for the new utilities, with tie-in points to the existing private and public systems.

The existing systems

The plant's records, confirmed in the field by exposing lines with hydro excavation at every tie-in and crossing, because private plant lines are not marked by the one-call process.

The schedule

Tie-ins timed for shutdowns, with temporary services where production cannot stop.

The site

Safety orientation, permits to work and restrictions on equipment and access.

Existing pits, trench drains and sumps affected by the expansion can be cleaned with a vacuum truck before they are modified. We also take on smaller jobs for homeowners and businesses in Kokomo.

Indiana 811 before excavation

Indiana 811 is the state's call-before-you-dig center under Indiana Code chapter 8-1-26. Indiana law (IC 8-1-26-16) requires at least two full working days of notice and no more than 10 calendar days, and a ticket is valid for 20 calendar days.

Sharpsville, Russiaville, Galveston, Greentown, Windfall City and Tipton are among the communities near Kokomo. We work in all of them too.

For a plant expansion, send the engineer's drawings and the shutdown dates; for a home, the address, the problem and a few photos.

We reply with our questions and the approach we recommend. We schedule the work once we both agree on the scope.
