Underground Utilities
We provide comprehensive installation and rehabilitation services for wet utility infrastructure including sewer lines, water mains, storm drains, and process mechanical systems. Our capabilities extend to manholes, valves, lift stations, and pump stations across municipal and private projects. With experience in CMAR and JOC delivery methods, we deliver durable solutions that minimize community disruption while meeting strict regulatory requirements.
Pipeline Rehabilitation
Specializing in trenchless pipeline rehabilitation, we employ methods like steel can sliplining, fusible HDPE/PVC, and UV-cured CIPP. Our team has completed over 850,000 linear feet of rehabilitation projects, including Arizona's longest fusible PVC installation and largest Primus Line segment. We offer both felt/heat-cured and ultraviolet light-cured CIPP solutions for sewer and water lines.
UV CIPP Rehabilitation
We install Reline America's Alphaliner UV-cured glass-reinforced pipe systems, providing environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional repairs. This technology offers 50-60% thinner walls with greater strength while reducing installation time and community impact. Our team self-performs UV CIPP point repairs and lateral seals for municipal clients across Arizona.
Water/Wastewater Facilities
We construct and upgrade water and wastewater treatment facilities including lift stations, bar screens, pump stations, and SCADA systems. Our work includes award-winning projects like Chandler's 20 MGD wastewater lift station and Arizona State Prison's bar screen installation. We handle mechanical, electrical, and control system upgrades for both new and existing facilities.

Report
The operator of one of their trucks pulled up to the gas pumps and proceeded to go get ice, opened two bottles and swished the cooler out and then dumped the water in the cooler out on the ground in front of the gas pumps so that anyone who wanted to get gas would have to deal with the wet pavement. This man did not get gasoline; he blocked both sets of gas pumps in that row. When he exited the pump area, he took a sharp left in front of cars trying to exit the grocery store aisle.
