Gerber Construction installs underground utilities across Connecticut and into Massachusetts: storm drainage, sanitary sewer, water mains and services, and electrical ductbank, along with the precast structures and manholes that tie them together.

Our own crews and equipment do the work. We set pipe to line and grade, build deep structures in tight corridors, keep live systems running while we work around them, and get everything tested and inspected before it's buried.

Most of our utility work is for public owners and the construction managers building for them: school districts, universities, cities and towns, and CTDOT. On UConn's South Campus we rerouted the steam, storm, sanitary and water lines ahead of new residence halls, on an open campus and around the academic calendar.
