GCCCI has completed or is currently working on projects involving the
following types of construction: communications (buried and aerial), wireless communications, electrical, sewer, water, horizontal directional drilling, manhole installation and foundations, pipeline services, gas distribution and transmission, industrial petrochemical, drainage, and civil site work. There are very few contractors in the industry today that have the experience and expertise to self-perform so many facets of utility
construction. The experience GCCCI has obtained over the years allows us to pursue very complex or challenging projects. We have the talent in-house to handle large projects that require all types of construction expertise.
Our partnership and being a sustaining member with LA One Call is a vital role to our success in this industry. Keeping up to date with changes in the Dig Law effects every aspect of our business and procedures. The way LA 811 communicates with its members is exactly how the excavator community should work with utility owners and operators. It’s all a partnership; communicating and documenting that communication is the key to a successful damage prevention program. www.gradycrawford.com; 800-284-4493
