Lots that still need their utilities

In a city where homes are spread over a large area and many lots are still being built on, a frequent request is to bring utilities to a lot for the first time. That can mean a water service from a main, a connection to a sewer system, drainage that fits the street's swales or storm system, and conduit for power where the electric utility asks for it.

The questions that decide the work:

• Is there a main or a connection point in front of the lot, or does a line have to be extended to reach it?
• What does the owner of each system require for the connection, the materials and the inspections?
• What lies between the connection point and the building: a road shoulder, a swale, a driveway, other utilities?
• Which crossings could be drilled rather than trenched?

Once those are known, the work follows the usual steps: locate, excavate or bore, install and test, then restore.

We work for builders, homeowners, developers, businesses and public owners.
