Campus and institutional utilities
Campuses, hospitals and schools operate their own underground networks between the public mains and their buildings. Water loops with valves and hydrants, sanitary and storm sewers, conduit for power, lighting and data, and sometimes heating or cooling lines all run beneath lawns, walks and parking.
Work on those networks is shaped by how the campus is used:
- shutoffs are timed for breaks, weekends or nights, with buildings kept in service where possible;
- walkways and entrances stay open, and routes under them may be drilled instead of trenched;
- private lines are traced from the institution's drawings and confirmed by hydro excavation, because the one-call process does not always mark them;
- excavations near buildings are kept short-lived and protected.
For institutions, we clean storm structures with a vacuum truck and install conduit for new lighting or security.
We also handle single-line work for homeowners, businesses and public owners in Muncie, from a water service to a sewer lateral.
