Our experienced underground teams understand these challenges and plan each installation around the specific requirements of the project.

Underground Services

Since 2005

For more than 20 years, Nu Edge Construction Ltd. has provided high-quality, efficient underground construction services for municipal, industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects throughout Western Canada. Our team has the experience, technical knowledge, and equipment required to construct underground infrastructure safely, efficiently, and accurately for everything from new greenfield developments to complex upgrades within active facilities.

Managing and completing a successful underground construction project demands more than excavation and pipe installation. Professional and efficient execution of underground construction tasks requires detailed planning, experienced supervision, highly skilled operators and pipe crews, careful coordination, and a thorough understanding of municipal and engineering specifications.

Nu Edge Construction brings these capabilities together with some of the most experienced personnel in the water and sewer industry. Our knowledge extends from the initial planning and constructability stages through excavation, installation, testing, commissioning, restoration, and project completion.

By working closely with owners, municipalities, engineers, consultants, general contractors, and other project stakeholders, we identify challenges early, develop practical construction solutions, and maintain production throughout the project.

About Underground Construction Services

Deep Utility Installation

Nu Edge Construction specializes in the installation of deep underground utilities.

Deep utility construction involves unique challenges. Excavation depth, groundwater, soil conditions, existing infrastructure, access limitations, trench stability, pipe grades, and installation tolerances must all be carefully managed.

Our experienced underground teams understand these challenges and plan each installation around the project’s specific requirements.

Our underground utility capabilities include installing water distribution systems, sanitary sewer systems, stormwater systems, forcemains, fire protection water systems, process piping, service connections, drainage infrastructure, and related underground structures.

From excavation and bedding preparation through pipe installation, backfill, compaction, testing, and final restoration, our crews manage the complete underground construction process.

Our team provides the full spectrum of municipal and industrial water distribution system services, including installation, replacement, extension, and upgrades. Our experience includes distribution mains, transmission infrastructure, valves, hydrants, service connections, chambers, tie-ins, and associated structures.

Our teams work closely with project owners, consultants, municipalities, and operations personnel to coordinate these activities and limit disruptions wherever possible.

Nu Edge Construction provides comprehensive sanitary sewer construction for new developments and existing infrastructure.

Our crews have experience installing gravity sanitary sewer systems, service connections, manholes, forcemains, and related infrastructure.

Gravity sewer construction requires accurate control of line and grade. Small deviations over considerable distances can affect system performance, making experienced personnel and accurate construction methods essential.

Our crews combine field experience with modern surveying and construction technology to maintain the elevations and grades required by engineered designs.

For existing systems, Nu Edge Construction also provides sanitary sewer upgrades, replacements, extensions, and repairs.

Nu Edge Construction installs stormwater infrastructure for municipal, industrial, commercial, and development projects including storm sewer mains, catch basins, manholes, culverts, drainage structures, outfalls, and related infrastructure.

Storm systems frequently involve large-diameter pipe, deep excavation, complex structures, and coordination with surrounding earthworks. Our underground and earthworks capabilities allow these operations to be integrated efficiently.

Having both disciplines within the Nu Edge team provides an important advantage. Underground infrastructure can be coordinated directly with site grading, road construction, drainage, and overall site development rather than treated as isolated construction activities.

Nu Edge Construction provides water, storm, and sanitary system upgrades, replacements, extensions, and repairs for municipalities, industrial facilities, and other infrastructure owners.

Existing underground systems present very different challenges from those encountered on greenfield sites. Utility locations may differ from available records, access can be restricted, surrounding infrastructure must remain operational, and construction may need to occur around active roads, facilities, equipment, and personnel.

Experience becomes particularly important in these environments.

Our crews understand how to plan and execute underground construction while maintaining safe access and limiting disruption to existing operations.

Nu Edge Construction has extensive experience working on new industrial facilities, municipal infrastructure, subdivisions, commercial developments, and other large-scale construction projects.

Our greenfield underground services can include water distribution, sanitary sewer, stormwater systems, forcemains, fire protection water, process piping, drainage systems, service connections, lift stations, and associated underground structures.

Because Nu Edge Construction also performs major earthworks, we can coordinate underground installations with mass grading, road construction, pad development, drainage, and site finishing.

This integrated approach helps streamline construction sequencing and reduces conflicts between major site operations.

For more than two decades, Nu Edge Construction has worked throughout the industrial sector, helping clients maintain, expand, and upgrade infrastructure within operating facilities.

Brownfield underground construction requires detailed planning because existing infrastructure, utilities, structures, traffic, personnel, and production activities often surround the work area.

Our experience allows us to assess these conditions before excavation begins and develop construction plans that account for access, existing services, operational requirements, and project-specific constraints.

We provide brownfield construction services, including utility replacement, system extensions, emergency repairs, infrastructure upgrades, new service connections, tie-ins, drainage improvements, process piping, and rehabilitation of existing underground systems.

Nu Edge Construction provides earthworks and underground construction services associated with lift station development and installation.

These projects can involve deep excavation, groundwater management, structural preparation, large precast components, underground piping, forcemain connections, chambers, site grading, access development, and coordination with mechanical and electrical contractors.

Our combination of underground expertise and heavy earthworks capabilities allows us to manage the excavation and civil components of lift station projects efficiently.

Nu Edge Construction has the equipment and personnel required to undertake large-scale forcemain installations and related infrastructure.

These projects require careful planning around excavation, pipe handling, joining procedures, trench preparation, groundwater, crossings, existing utilities, environmental requirements, testing, and restoration.

Our ability to mobilize significant equipment resources lets us coordinate multiple construction activities efficiently while maintaining production along extended project corridors.

From developing infrastructure for new facilities to maintaining and upgrading underground systems at existing sites, Nu Edge Construction has built long-term relationships based on productivity, reliability, safety, and quality workmanship.

Industrial underground installations can include fire protection water systems, storage tanks, process piping, water distribution mains, drainage systems, sanitary infrastructure, stormwater infrastructure, and related underground services.

Maintaining industrial facility operations is critical. Our teams work with owners and operations personnel to understand site requirements and coordinate construction around existing activities.

Nu Edge Construction’s maintenance and underground capabilities include access to a fleet of hydrovac equipment for utility exposure, daylighting, locating, and controlled excavation.

By incorporating hydrovac services into our underground operations, our teams can expose existing utilities, verify elevations and locations, and better understand underground conditions before major excavation proceeds.

Our team works on industrial facilities, in municipalities, and with other infrastructure owners to provide repair, replacement, and upgrade services for underground systems.

Our services can include watermain repairs, sanitary repairs, storm system repairs, service replacements, valve and hydrant work, drainage improvements, infrastructure upgrades, utility exposure, and excavation support.

Access to experienced underground crews, hydrovacs, excavators, loaders, hauling equipment, and support equipment allows Nu Edge Construction to respond with the right resources for the work.

We know the key to successful project execution starts with construction planning and coordination. Before operations ever begin, our experienced personnel review drawings, specifications, utility information, site conditions, access requirements, excavation depths, materials, construction sequencing, and potential conflicts.

Our familiarity with municipal underground specifications helps our teams understand the requirements that govern installation, bedding, compaction, testing, inspection, and project acceptance.

We collaborate with consultants, municipalities, owners, engineers, inspectors, subcontractors, and other stakeholders throughout construction to resolve issues and keep projects moving.

Nu Edge Construction has assembled a team with extensive experience in the water, sewer, municipal, and industrial underground construction industries. That experience spans project management and supervision, equipment operation, pipe installation, surveying, quality control, and field coordination.
