Underground Utility Contractor in Troy, MI

Troy is a city in Oakland County with an estimated 89,209 residents (2024 Census estimate) on about 33 square miles of land.

Office buildings and corporate sites

Office buildings on large lots have underground systems that are easy to forget until they are needed: a domestic water service and often a separate fire line, sanitary laterals from each building, storm collection under wide parking areas, conduit for site lighting, signs and power, and sometimes private hydrants. When a building is renovated, a tenant moves in or a line fails, those systems have to be worked on while the site stays in use.

The practical points:

• Drawings and facilities staff are the main sources for private lines, which the one-call process does not always mark.
• Hydro excavation exposes lines where a new trench or bore will cross them, especially near shallow lighting conduit.
• Directional drilling can carry a new line beneath drive aisles and entrances that must stay open.
• Parking lot restoration includes base, asphalt, curbs and striping to the owner's specification.

We also handle water service, sewer lateral, storm and conduit work for homeowners in Troy, and larger projects for public owners.
