Wisconsin service area
Underground Utility Contractor in Wisconsin
Blackstone Utilities installs fiber optic cable and builds and repairs buried power, water, sewer and storm lines across Wisconsin, with trenching and excavation, directional drilling, hydro vacuum services and emergency repair. Every Wisconsin job is planned and dispatched from our headquarters in Huntley, Illinois, and built to the owner's specifications.
Wisconsin projects, start to finish
A typical Wisconsin job moves through four stages: existing utilities are located and marked, the trench or bore pits are opened, the new line is installed or the damaged one repaired, and the surface is restored. The stages are the same for a municipal main as for a single service line; the scale, the traffic control and the owner's specifications are what differ.
Restoration deserves as much attention as installation. A trench in a city street is backfilled in compacted layers and patched to the street owner's standard; a trench across a lawn is filled, graded and left ready for seed or sod. The owner's specification says which applies, and we will ask for it.
Who we work for
- Municipal utilities and public works departments with main, valve or storm work.
- General contractors who need an underground subcontractor on a commercial site.
- Industrial facilities with process lines, sumps or pits to clean, expose or replace.
- Property owners with a failed lateral or a new service to bring in.
Wisconsin cities we serve
The cities listed below have pages of their own. They are the larger communities in the state; we work elsewhere in Wisconsin too, so tell us where the site is.
Diggers Hotline
Wisconsin's one-call center is Diggers Hotline. Excavators contact it before digging so that facility owners can mark their lines. Wisconsin law (Wis. Stat. 182.0175) requires at least three working days of notice and sets no fixed ticket life: a new notice is needed if digging does not start within 10 days of the scheduled start or stops for more than 10 days. Check the current rules with Diggers Hotline before work begins.
