Water
Built for
Live Systems
Water main work runs under occupied streets and active distribution systems. We coordinate shutdowns, bypasses, and tie-ins so service stays on while pipe gets replaced.
Full-length replacements with restrained joints, thrust blocks, and bedding per manufacturer spec.
LCRR-compliant lead gooseneck and service line removal with resident notification and restoration.
Gate valve replacement, hydrant setting, and system isolation coordinated with the water authority.
Hot taps and planned shutdown tie-ins with bypass pumping to maintain building service.
Hydrostatic testing, chlorination, and bacteriological sampling before system return to service.
Permit, inspection, and as-built submittals aligned with BWSC, MWRA, and municipal requirements.
The Field
Protocol
Every main replacement follows a sequenced plan, locates, isolation, cut, install, test, restore. No improvised field decisions on pressure systems.
Utility locates, valve mapping, and shutdown sequencing with the water authority.
Bypass layout, traffic control, and material staging delivered before first excavation.
Bedding, joint assembly, backfill, and pressure test per AWWA C600.
Chlorination, sampling approval, pavement restoration, and as-built submittal.
Where We
Get Called In
From lead service programs to full arterial replacements. We work across municipal and authority-owned systems.
City-wide LSLR contracts with coordinated resident access and same-day service restoration.
Large-diameter replacements on state and municipal roads with multi-phase traffic control.
Upsizing and looping projects to improve pressure and fire flow in aging systems.
Vault excavation, setting, and connection for commercial and subdivision metering.
Dry-barrel and wet-barrel hydrant removal and setting with main tie-in.
Rapid response excavation, repair, and surface restoration for active main failures.
Delivered for
Public Agencies
Contracted water work performed for municipal, authority, and state clients across New England.
Operational
Standards
Our crews hold water-specific certifications and work to AWWA installation standards on every main.
All water main work is performed under a written site-specific safety plan. Pressure testing and bacteriological sampling are scheduled before pavement restoration.
We provide certificates of insurance, bonding documentation, and MWRA/BWSC prequalification packages to any GC or owner on request.
