Campus-style properties and private networks
Properties with several buildings, whether institutional, commercial or residential, often own their underground lines between the public main and each building. Water loops, private hydrants, sanitary and storm lines and conduit can run for long distances across such a site, and they are maintained by the property rather than by a public utility.
Work on a private network has its own considerations. The one-call process marks public facilities but not necessarily private ones, so the owner's drawings and staff knowledge matter. Buildings may need to stay in service, which affects when water can be shut off or sewer flow bypassed. Pedestrian routes and parking may need to stay open around the work.
With those settled, the job itself follows the usual pattern: locate, excavate or bore, install or repair, and restore. We take on single-home repairs, new commercial services and public projects alike.
For a new building on a larger property, we also need to know where the connection points are expected: the public main for water and sewer, the storm outfall, and the transformer or service point for power. Those set the start and end of each run and therefore its length and route.
Locate requests
JULIE, the Illinois one-call center, receives locate requests before excavation so that buried utilities can be marked. Share any private utility maps with your request, because private lines may not be marked by the one-call process.
