Industrial Site Utilities Installation Texas
Complete underground utility infrastructure. Water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and fire protection systems installed by experienced industrial utility crews.
Underground utility infrastructure provides the essential services that industrial buildings require. Water supply, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and fire protection systems must be installed before buildings can operate. Our utility crews have decades of experience installing these critical systems for industrial projects throughout Texas.
Industrial utility systems differ significantly from residential or light commercial work. Larger pipe sizes, deeper installations, and more stringent testing requirements demand specialized equipment and experienced crews. We maintain the equipment fleet and trained personnel needed for industrial scale utility construction.
Utility installation must coordinate with other site development activities. Storm systems typically install after mass grading. Wet utilities install before paving. Fire lines must be in service before building construction proceeds. Our integrated approach to site development manages these dependencies efficiently.

Project Specifications
Water main construction for industrial sites includes domestic supply and fire protection systems. We install ductile iron and PVC water mains, fire hydrant assemblies, and building service connections. Testing per AWWA standards and disinfection procedures ensure systems meet public health requirements.
Sanitary sewer systems require precise grade control to maintain gravity flow. We install PVC sanitary sewers, manholes, and building service laterals. Video inspection and pressure testing verify system integrity before acceptance. Connections to public systems require coordination with local utilities.
Storm drainage systems convey runoff from impervious surfaces to detention facilities. We install storm sewers, inlets, manholes, and outfall structures. Pipe materials and sizes match engineering specifications for the specific drainage requirements of each project.
Fire line systems provide the water supply for building fire suppression. We install fire mains, post indicator valves, fire department connections, and connections to building sprinkler systems. Fire lines must be in service and accepted before building construction can proceed beyond foundations.

Common Questions
How deep are industrial utilities typically installed?
Installation depths vary by utility type and local requirements. Water mains typically install 36 to 48 inches deep for freeze protection. Sanitary sewers install at depths needed to serve buildings by gravity, often 8 to 15 feet deep. Storm sewers vary based on drainage requirements.
Do you coordinate with utility providers for connections?
Yes. We coordinate all utility connections with local providers including application submittal, inspection scheduling, and acceptance procedures. Our established relationships with Texas utility providers help streamline these processes.
What testing is required for industrial water systems?
Water systems require pressure testing per AWWA standards, typically 150 psi for 2 hours with allowable leakage based on pipe diameter. Bacteriological testing confirms water quality before placing systems in service. Fire systems require flow testing to verify supply capacity.
Can you install utilities in rock conditions?
Yes. When trenching encounters rock, we use appropriate excavation methods including hydraulic breakers, ripping, or controlled blasting depending on conditions. Rock excavation is typically a separate bid item due to variable quantities.
How long does utility installation take for typical industrial sites?
Utility installation duration depends on site size, system complexity, and coordination with other work. A typical 20 acre industrial site with standard utility systems requires 6 to 10 weeks for complete utility installation.
