Underground Utility Installation in Tucson by DEVCO Development and Engineering

DEVCO Development and Engineering provides complete underground utility installation in Tucson and across Pima County for private developers, public agencies, general contractors, and large property owners. We install water, sewer, storm drain, power, gas, and communications lines, using both open-cut trenching and directional drilling to keep your project on schedule and pass inspection the first time.

What Underground Utility Installation Really Involves

Underground utilities are the pipes and conduits that keep a project running once the concrete dries and the paving is done. Our crews handle:

• Domestic water mains, services, and fire lines
• Sanitary sewer mains, laterals, and manholes
• Storm drain, culverts, and catch basins
• Dry utilities: electric, gas, telecom, and fiber
• Conduit banks and vaults for future expansions

On a typical job we sawcut pavement, excavate trenches, shore where needed, set pipe or conduit to grade, bed and backfill, compact in lifts, then restore asphalt, concrete, or landscape. Every step is inspected and tested so the utility owner will accept the work.

Common Project Situations in Pima County

Most Underground Utility Installation in Tucson falls into a few common scenarios:

New subdivisions need full wet and dry utilities from the street main to each lot. Commercial pads often require upsized water for fire sprinklers and new electric and telecom service. Public works and road improvements may need utility relocations and new storm drain.

For larger underground infrastructure installation in Tucson, like business parks or multi-building campuses, we design and install utility corridors that keep lines accessible, protected, and clearly mapped for future work.

How We Approach Utility Installation

Good underground work starts with information. We coordinate utility locates, review plans, and walk the site with you to talk access, staging, and traffic impacts. From there, we lay out trench lines, structure locations, and tie-in points before the first bucket of dirt moves.

We use the right equipment for the right spot. A John Deere 210P excavator handles deeper, longer runs efficiently, while a John Deere 35P mini excavator works safely around existing buildings, walls, and tight easements. A John Deere 325G skid steer helps with backfill, fine grading, and cleanup so other trades can get in quickly.

When open-cut trenching would disrupt traffic or finished surfaces, we look at directional drilling. Boring can place water, sewer services, and conduit under roads, driveways, and landscape with much less restoration.

What You Should Know Before Starting

Before we mobilize, it helps if you have:

• Approved civil plans and utility company standards
• Survey control and property/Easement access clarified
