Precision Underground Engineering and Utility Installation Driven by Decades of Civil Site Experience

At Jimmy Hickman Excavating, we provide turnkey infrastructure and utility installation designed to deliver long-term performance for commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments. We self-perform every phase of underground utility construction with GPS-guided precision, safety-first protocols, and decades of civil site experience. From deep sewer lines to complex stormwater management networks, we deliver the exact subsurface infrastructure needed to ensure seamless inspections, compliant flows, and worry-free municipal connections.We manage your entire underground scope from trench to treatment, preventing coordination friction, eliminating mid-project surprises, and keeping your critical path moving forward on grade and on schedule.

Our Core Utility & Infrastructure Services

Sanitary Sewer System Installation

We install robust gravity-fed lines, pressurized forced mainlines, precast manholes, and complete lift stations. Utilizing real-time laser alignment and grade control technology, we ensure precise slopes that maintain efficient flow and satisfy rigorous municipal air, mandrel, and video testing requirements.

Storm Drainage System Installation

Built to manage heavy runoff and eliminate surface pooling, our storm networks utilize reinforced concrete, HDPE, or PVC piping tailored exactly to your site's topography. We install high-capacity mainlines, catch basins, junction boxes, and head walls using certified crews to ensure reliable hydrologic performance.

Stormwater Retention System Installation

For developments requiring permanent stormwater storage solutions, we construct wet ponds that balance rigorous hydraulic functionality with ecological compliance. Our installations incorporate precisely engineered risers, weirs, and trash racks to systematically regulate peak flow discharge rates and mitigate flood risks.

Underground Stormwater Detention System Installation

Maximize buildable real estate and reclaim valuable surface acreage by placing your stormwater management subgrade. We specialize in the turnkey excavation, setting, backfilling, and compaction of engineered modular storage chambers and multi-stage outlet control structures beneath parking lots and green spaces.

Secondary Drainage System Installation

Protect your vertical construction and structural foundations from the top down. We handle seamless tie-ins for roof downspouts, yard inlets, and custom-fit wall drainage systems to safely relieve hydrostatic pressure and divert runoff away from structures toward stabilized discharge points.

Potable & Fire Protection Water Systems Installation

We build safe, code-compliant mainlines, domestic service laterals, fire hydrants, and backflow prevention assemblies. Our crews handle the precision fusion, jointing, chlorination, and hydrostatic pressure testing required to safely deliver drinking water and critical fire protection infrastructure to your site boundary.

Dewatering System Installation

Subsurface water tables can quickly stall active utility trenches and compromise foundation pours. We design and monitor localized sump pump pits and deep eductor well vacuum networks to rapidly extract groundwater, lower water elevations, and maintain dry, stable subgrade conditions.

Shoring Systems Installation

Deep excavation demands absolute structural stability and trench safety. We install custom engineered shoring and earth retention systems—including trench boxes, tight sheeting, and slide rail networks—to safely navigate congested utility corridors, control shifting soils, and protect your crew.
