Explained
Underground utilities support everything from daily water use to storm management and electrical systems. When these systems are installed correctly, they operate quietly and reliably for decades.
Wattco approaches underground utility work as critical infrastructure, not just another trade. Our experience across residential, commercial, and government projects allows us to build systems that perform under real-world conditions.
Common Underground Utilities Callenges When Building
-
Utility conflicts caused by poor planning or inaccurate line locating
-
Failed inspections due to improper slope, depth, or connections
-
Unsafe trench conditions that put crews and schedules at risk
-
Inadequate drainage or flow leading to backups and system failure
-
Breakdowns in communication between contractors, inspectors, and utility providers
-
Short-term fixes that fail prematurely and require costly repairs
Wattco addresses these risks early with proper planning, experienced crews, and disciplined execution.
