Underground Utility Contractor in Lansing, MI

Lansing is a city of an estimated 114,336 residents (2024 Census estimate) with about 39 square miles of land. Its primary county is Ingham County, and it extends into neighboring counties, so the exact address of a site matters for permits and inspections.

Public buildings and their grounds

Public and institutional owners often hold large properties with several buildings: offices, schools, maintenance yards, parks. Their underground networks run between the public mains and each building, and they are usually maintained by the owner's own facilities staff.

Work for such owners tends to follow their procurement and specifications closely. A typical request may be to:

• replace a failed water line between two buildings;
• rebuild a section of storm sewer under a parking area;
• add conduit for new lighting or electric vehicle charging;
• extend a sanitary line to a new building or an addition;
• clean storm structures and pits with a vacuum truck.

Each begins with the owner's drawings and the MISS DIG 811 locate, continues with exposing existing lines near the work, often with hydro excavation, and ends with restoration to the owner's standard. Where a route crosses a drive or a walk that must stay open, directional drilling can carry the line beneath it.

We also handle service line, lateral, storm and conduit work for homeowners and businesses in Lansing.

Notice and jurisdiction

MISS DIG 811 receives locate requests under Public Act 174 of 2013. Notice must be given at least 72 hours (three business days) and at most 14 calendar days ahead, and the ticket lasts 21 days, or 180 days for long projects (MCL 460.725). Because Lansing spans county lines, include the exact address so we can check which approvals apply.
