Ace Avant Grading & Utilities Division

Industry-leading underground utilities contractor for developers, GCs, and property owners across North Carolina

Complete wet utilities installation for commercial and industrial site development from water and storm to sewer and force main
Turn-key underground utilities construction coordinated with grading, excavation, and site preparation in a single scope

Our Services

Our position as a trusted underground utilities contractor in North Carolina has been earned by delivering wet utilities installation that keeps pace with the construction schedule and meets the specifications of engineers, municipalities, and regulatory agencies without requiring a GC to manage multiple subcontractors across the same site.

What separates us from others? We self-perform every phase of underground utilities construction in-house alongside our grading and earthwork crews, so developers and GCs work with one contractor from first clear through final utility connection.

Water Utilities

We install water distribution mains, service laterals, fire hydrant leads, valves, and fittings for commercial and industrial site development, pressure tested and handed off to spec.

Storm Utilities

Storm Utilities

We install storm drainage systems including catch basins, manholes, storm pipe, and outlet structures that collect and convey site runoff to detention or the municipal system.

Gravity Sewer

We install gravity sanitary sewer mains, manholes, cleanouts, and service laterals to the grade and slope requirements that allow the system to flow by gravity to the municipal connection.

Force Main Sewer

We install pressurized sewer mains that carry sewage pumped from lift stations to gravity systems or treatment facilities when gravity flow is not achievable across the site.

Pump Stations

We construct lift stations and pump stations for sanitary sewer systems where site conditions require sewage to be pumped rather than conveyed by gravity.

Hydro Excavation

We use pressurized water and vacuum excavation to safely expose existing underground utilities before crossing, connecting, or repairing them, avoiding strikes on live lines.

Emergency Repairs

We respond 24/7 to water main breaks, sewer failures, and storm system damage on commercial and industrial properties with the equipment and crew to restore service fast.

Underground Utilities Installation

Ace Avant’s utilities crews install the full range of wet utilities required for commercial and industrial site development in North Carolina. Every underground utility system we install is coordinated with our grading and earthwork operations, so pipe goes in the ground at the right phase of construction without creating conflicts with excavation, stone base, and paving that follow.

01 Water Distribution

 We install water mains and service infrastructure for commercial and industrial developments, from the point of connection to the municipal supply through the full site distribution system. Work includes pipe installation, valve and hydrant setting, pressure testing, and bacteriological sampling coordination before the system is placed into service.

We install storm drainage systems that manage runoff from impervious surfaces and convey it to detention basins, retention ponds, or municipal storm systems. Work includes trench excavation, pipe installation, catch basin and manhole construction, and outlet protection at the system discharge points.

02 Storm Drainage

03 Sanitary Sewer

We install both gravity sewer and force main systems for commercial site development. Gravity mains are installed to precise grade and slope requirements that allow the system to flow by gravity without mechanical assistance. Force mains carry pressurized flow from pump stations where gravity drainage is not achievable based on the site topography and the location of the municipal connection.

No matter the size or type of project, Ace Avant can provide the equipment and method to grade your site right.

Benefits of a Single Utilities Contractor

Developers and GCs across North Carolina use Ace Avant for underground utilities construction because managing wet utilities installation through the same contractor handling grading and earthwork eliminates the coordination problems that slow projects down and create gaps in accountability. Some of the benefits of working with a single utilities contractor are:

Fewer Schedule Conflicts

Grading and utility installation are sequenced by one team rather than two contractors negotiating access to the same work area at the same time.

Single Point of Accountability

When grading and utilities are under one contract, there is no dispute about whose scope caused a delay or a conflict in the field.

Lower Project Cost

Self-performing grading and utilities with the same equipment and crew reduces mobilization costs and eliminates the markup that comes with managing multiple subcontractors across the same site.

Coordinated Trench and Backfill

Utility trench excavation and backfill is coordinated with the grading sequence so disturbed areas are restored and compacted in step with the overall site schedule.

Wet Utilities and Site Development

Wet utilities are the underground systems that move water, sewage, and stormwater across a developed site. Every commercial and industrial development requires a complete wet utilities installation before occupancy, and the sequence of that installation relative to grading, paving, and building construction determines whether the project stays on schedule or loses weeks to conflicts in the field.

Is your utility installation being managed by a separate contractor with no coordination with the grading scope? Are utility conflicts and access disputes between subs slowing your schedule?

Ace Avant installs wet utilities as part of an integrated grading and site preparation scope, so underground utilities construction is sequenced with earthwork from the start rather than bolted on as a separate operation.

UNDERGROUND UTILITIES INSTALLATION:

We self-perform water, storm, gravity sewer, and force main installation using our own crews and equipment, coordinated with the grading schedule so pipe goes in the ground at the right phase without conflicts with excavation and base installation.

PUMP STATIONS AND HYDRO EXCAVATION:

We construct pump stations as part of the sewer scope and provide hydro excavation for utility exposure and potholing before crossing or connecting to existing underground infrastructure.

Emergency Utility Repairs

Underground utility failures on commercial and industrial properties do not follow a construction schedule. Water main breaks, sewer collapses, and storm system failures happen without warning and require immediate response to stop damage and restore service. Ace Avant maintains equipment and crews available for emergency utility repair response across North Carolina, 24 hours a day.

We respond to water main breaks, failed gravity sewer and force main lines, collapsed storm pipe, and pump station failures with the excavation equipment, pipe materials, and experienced crews to diagnose the problem and restore service as quickly as the conditions allow.
