10x6 Wet Tap Completed in Blaine Despite Heavy Groundwater

Not every job gives you clean, dry conditions to work in. This 10x6 wet tap in Blaine threw groundwater at us from the start - and that's the kind of thing that separates crews who know what they're doing from crews who don't.

A wet tap means we're making a live connection directly into an existing pressurized water main without shutting it down. No service interruption. The water keeps flowing while we do the work. That's a big deal for municipalities, developers, and utility contractors who can't afford downtime on an active system.

The groundwater intrusion here made the excavation messy and the working conditions tight. You're dealing with murky water pooling in the pit, limited visibility on the fitting, and the added challenge of keeping everything clean and properly seated under pressure. It takes experience and the right equipment to pull it off correctly.

We got it done. The saddle fitting is bolted down solid, the valve is set, and the tap was completed without incident. That's what we bring to jobs like this - the ability to adapt when conditions aren't cooperating and still deliver a result that meets spec.

If your water system expansion or connection needs experienced hands - especially in conditions that aren't textbook - this is the kind of work we do every day.
