Underground Utilities
We install and rehabilitate water mains, sewer systems, storm water infrastructure, and drainage structures with precision.
Water, sewer, and storm drain systems installed with precision.
Truxtun provides comprehensive underground utility construction for public agencies and infrastructure projects across California. Our crews install and rehabilitate water mains, sanitary sewer lines, storm drain systems, and drainage structures — handling everything from open-cut pipe installation and manhole construction to trenchless crossings and connection work. We understand that underground utilities are the critical systems communities depend on every day, and we bring the expertise, equipment, and care required to build them right the first time.
Why choose Truxtun for underground utilities?
1. Water main installation and rehabilitation: We install ductile iron, PVC, HDPE, and steel water mains ranging from small-diameter service lines to large-diameter transmission mains. Our crews handle valve installations, fire hydrant connections, service laterals, and system tie-ins — all performed under pressure when required and tested to agency standards.
2. Sanitary sewer construction: From gravity sewer mains and force mains to lift station connections and lateral installations, we build sewer infrastructure that performs reliably. Our crews are experienced in deep excavations, shoring systems, and precise grade control required to deliver gravity sewer systems that flow correctly from day one.
3. Storm drain and flood control: We construct storm drain systems including reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), corrugated metal pipe (CMP), box culverts, catch basins, junction structures, and outfall facilities. Our storm drain work supports flood control agencies and municipalities in protecting communities from stormwater damage.
4. Trenchless technology: When open-cut methods are not feasible due to traffic, existing utilities, or environmental constraints, we provide trenchless solutions including pipe jacking, bore and jack, pipe bursting, and horizontal directional drilling (HDD). These methods reduce surface disruption while delivering reliable underground installations.
5. Shoring and dewatering: Underground utility work often requires safe excavation support and groundwater management. We design and install shoring systems including trench boxes, slide rail, and soldier pile systems, along with well-point and pump-based dewatering to maintain dry, stable working conditions.
Benefits of choosing Truxtun for underground utilities.
Critical infrastructure reliability: The utility systems we install deliver clean water, manage wastewater, and control stormwater — essential services that communities depend on around the clock.
Deep excavation expertise: Our crews are trained and equipped for deep trench work, including confined space entry, shoring installation, and dewatering operations that many contractors cannot self-perform.
Coordination capability: Underground utility work intersects with nearly every other construction discipline. We coordinate effectively with earthwork, paving, and structural operations to keep complex projects moving forward.
Testing and commissioning: We perform pressure testing, vacuum testing, mandrel testing, and CCTV inspection to verify that every installed system meets agency acceptance criteria before turnover.
Minimal community disruption: We plan our utility operations to reduce impacts on traffic, adjacent properties, and existing services — maintaining public access and safety throughout construction.
