Underground Utility Contractor in Toledo, OH

Toledo is the largest city in Lucas County, with an estimated 265,638 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 80 square miles of land.

Plants, terminals and warehouses

Industrial plants, terminals and warehouses have underground systems built for heavy use: large fire lines and water services, process and industrial drains, sanitary sewer from offices, storm collection from wide paved yards, and conduit for heavy electrical equipment. Heavy trucks over the top and constant use below wear those systems down.

Typical jobs on such sites:

Storm rebuilds

Settled inlets, broken pipe under truck lanes and structures full of sediment. Cleaning with a vacuum truck comes first, then repair or replacement of what is damaged, with heavy-duty frames and pavement restored to carry the loads.

Service upgrades

Larger water or fire services and new sanitary connections for changes in use, coordinated with the utilities and inspected.

Conduit for new equipment

Routes chosen to keep separation from other lines, with crossings of yards drilled where trucks must keep moving.

Each starts with the site's drawings and an OUPS locate, and existing lines are exposed with hydro excavation where the work comes close.

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

Notice before excavation

OUPS is Ohio's one-call system under Ohio Revised Code 3781.25 to 3781.38. Section 3781.28 requires notice at least two working days ahead, leaving out the day of notice, and excavation must begin within 16 calendar days of the notice, as the law has no fixed ticket life. Private yard lines are usually not marked by that process.
