Construction& Restoration

Prior to any work commencing, you will see colored flags placed by your local utility providers. These identify where their infrastructure is located to ensure we work safely through your area avoiding any conflicts with existing utilities.

We will be utilizing different deployment methods throughout the multiple phases of the build in your neighborhood, which typically takes up to 90 days to complete, depending on weather conditions.

Phase 1: Our team will be marking out areas on your street with water based white or pink paint prior to installing ground level chambers (24” x 36”) to support the next phase of construction. This typically takes 5-10 days.

Phase 2: This typically starts 14-21 days after the completion of phase 1. Using specialized machines, we will bore under driveways, trees, and across roads. You may see black pipe sticking out of the ground, the pipes will be marked and then buried during the next phase of construction.

Phase 3: You will receive a second notice prior to this phase starting, typically 45-60 days after phase 2. We will now create a trench in the greenbelt approximately 4 inches wide and 8-12 inches deep where our infrastructure will be placed and the soil backfilled.

Phase 4: Depending on weather conditions, the restoration crew will return to complete the remediation which includes dirt grading, placement of gras seed, and bio-degradable straw matting, this indicates construction is complete and you may remove locate flags.

We encourage you to water the area covered by the straw matting which may be removed
once the grass has grown to about 3-4 inches. It could take up to 60 days for the grass to grow.

Please note that winter restoration my be delayed further due to poor weather conditions.
