Services
Storm Sewer Construction
We install comprehensive storm sewer systems using both traditional excavation and trenchless technologies. Our capabilities include reinforced concrete pipe installation, culvert cleaning, and erosion control solutions. With equipment for excavating depths exceeding 25 feet, we handle complex drainage challenges across municipal and commercial projects while maintaining environmental compliance standards.
Trenchless Technology
Our trenchless methods include auger boring, pipe bursting, and static pull techniques for utility installation. This approach minimizes surface disruption while replacing or installing pipelines beneath roadways, waterways, and sensitive areas. We utilize advanced guidance systems for precise horizontal directional drilling operations across various soil conditions.
Site Work Packages
We provide complete site preparation services including demolition, grading, and infrastructure installation. Our offerings cover commercial excavation, retaining wall construction, and road reconstruction projects. This includes water reservoir development, agricultural irrigation systems, and comprehensive utility coordination for new developments.
Pipe Bursting
Our pipe bursting technology replaces aging water and sewer mains without extensive excavation. We handle various pipe materials including clay, PVC, and ductile iron. This method reduces surface restoration costs while upgrading pipeline capacity and structural integrity for municipal and residential applications.
Heavy Equipment Hauling
We transport construction equipment up to 80,000 lbs using specialized hauling vehicles. Our services include delivery of excavators, pipe installation machinery, and other heavy construction equipment to project sites across diverse terrains and weather conditions.

All these folks took time on their day off to host a bunch of families and the kids had the time of their lives riding and "operating" all those construction vehicles! Thanks Mainline! You're the best!
