Projects That Showcase Our Approach

• LCWA Water Main System Improvements, Divisions A, B, & C: This multi-division water main improvement project included a 20-inch main installed beneath US 23 and more than 14,000 feet of new 8-inch water main through Brighton Township subdivisions. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) was used throughout to avoid roadway impacts and keep neighborhoods moving during construction
