National Utility Contractors Association

Y ou may not realize it, but when you got up this morning and made your coffee or took a shower, and then drove to your office or made your way to an airport, almost every step of your journey was made possible because of the utility construction industry and the hard work of their employees. “Our contractor members build the foundations of the American economy,” says Doug Carlson, CEO of NUCA, the National Utility Contractors Association. “They dig the trenches, lay the pipe, cable, and data lines. NUCA members also supply the pipes, trenchless drilling machines, valves, software, and business products such as insurance and legal counsel.” America’s utility and excavation construction contractors build and maintain the nation’s network of underground and environmental infrastructure. The industry is made up of businesses that build utility infrastructure for drinking water, sewer, gas, power, and communication systems, including distribution lines and other integral components like pumping stations and treatment facilities. The industry provides well-paying jobs that support families and communities.
