Our Underground Utility Services Include
Water Line Installation
HCE provides water line installation services, including water mains, service taps, and distribution lines for commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects across Central Indiana. Our team installs systems to meet project specifications, ensuring reliable performance and long-term durability.
From new developments to infrastructure upgrades, we support projects with precise excavation, pipe installation, and backfill as part of our site preparation and grading services. Recent work includes installing a 100-foot HDPE water line across a drained creek, demonstrating our ability to handle challenging site conditions with efficient execution.
Sanitary Sewer Systems
HCE provides sanitary sewer installation services, including sewer mains, laterals, meter pits, and precast manholes for commercial, municipal, and residential projects across Central Indiana. Our team installs systems that manage waste and water flow efficiently while meeting local specifications and long-term performance requirements.
We work closely with developers and municipalities to deliver sewer infrastructure that is built to last and compliant with all regulations. As a Johnson County Certified Septic Contractor, HCE also installs reliable onsite systems, including gravity septic systems for well-drained sites and Advanced Treatment Leachfield (ATL) systems with dosing tanks and pumps for more challenging conditions.
Whether connecting to municipal sewer or installing code-compliant septic systems, we ensure every project is completed with durability, precision, and efficiency, including coordination with foundation excavation and installation where required.
Storm Drainage Systems
HCE installs storm drainage systems, including inlets, catch basins, manholes, and piping to manage water flow and protect site stability. Our team ensures proper grading, backfill, and reinforcement using materials such as B-borrow and #53 stone to support long-term performance.
We also install advanced stormwater treatment systems, including AquaShield and Aqua-Swirl structures, to help developers meet regulatory requirements and improve water quality. These systems are designed to capture sediment, debris, and pollutants while extending the life of ponds, basins, and drainage infrastructure.
From small subdivisions to large commercial developments, we support projects with reliable installation and coordinated dump truck hauling to maintain efficiency and keep work progressing on schedule. We also perform casting repair and replacement, along with concrete restoration for curbs, roadways, and sidewalks, to fully complete storm system installations and repairs.
