Water & Wastewater Infrastructure
ESA operating companies construct, upgrade, maintain and restore water and wastewater systems that communities, utilities and public owners rely on every day.

Utility systems supporting communities.
Water and wastewater projects are public-facing, schedule-sensitive and essential to community service. ESA companies bring underground utility experience, civil support and restoration capability to help owners keep critical systems moving while managing the realities of work in streets, neighborhoods, active facilities and public corridors.
From waterline installation and wastewater collection work to emergency repairs, facility maintenance, pavement restoration and site support, ESA can align the right operating company for each scope and coordinate additional disciplines when a project requires more than one specialty.
Built For
Water mains, service lines, sewer collection systems, utility relocations, facility maintenance, system upgrades and emergency repairs.
Project Environments
Municipal streets, neighborhoods, rural utility corridors, public rights-of-way, active treatment facilities and commercial or industrial sites.
ESA Advantage
ESA combines underground utility crews with civil, paving, general construction and site-support resources so projects can move from installation through restoration.
Key Work Includes
- Water main and service-line installation
- Wastewater collection and sewer system construction
- Water and wastewater facility maintenance
- Emergency repairs and system restoration
- Utility upgrades, replacements and rehabilitation
- Excavation, trenching, layout and erosion-control support
- Surface restoration, paving, repair and sealcoating
- Civil and general construction support for utility facilities
Operating Companies Supporting This Capability

CJ Hughes
C.J. Hughes supports water pipeline and facility work, including installation, maintenance and emergency repair. Its underground utility background makes it a strong fit for public and private owners managing essential water infrastructure.

West Virginia Pipeline
West Virginia Pipeline supports pipeline construction for natural gas distribution and water/wastewater infrastructure. Its local utility experience makes it a relevant resource for owners working across Southern West Virginia and nearby markets.

Ryan Construction Services
Ryan brings excavation, layout, concrete, masonry, road repair, erosion and sedimentation control and general construction support. Those services are useful when water or wastewater work requires site access, civil construction, restoration or utility-adjacent improvements.

SQP Construction
When natural gas work extends into facilities, fabrication or process systems, Nitro can support mechanical piping, custom skids, field routing, testing, steel fabrication, equipment setting and related industrial scopes. This gives ESA the ability to support gas infrastructure beyond the trench.

Tribute Contracting & Consultants
Tribute adds specialized underground utility experience focused primarily on water and wastewater installations in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. Within ESA, Tribute strengthens the company’s reach and capacity in municipal and regional utility infrastructure.

Tri-State Paving
Tri-State supports the final condition of exterior hard surfaces after utility construction. Its paving, repair, sealcoating and maintenance capabilities help close out water and wastewater projects cleanly and practically.
ESA’s structure allows the organization to deliver both specialized expertise and coordinated execution across multiple project types.
Coordinated Execution
Utility work supported from trench to restoration.
Water and wastewater infrastructure often touches multiple disciplines. ESA’s operating-company model gives owners access to underground utility crews, civil support, facility construction and surface restoration without forcing every scope into one generic contractor box.
Install
Build, replace or rehabilitate buried water and wastewater infrastructure.
Support
Coordinate excavation, concrete, facility, utility-building, access and site-support scopes.
Restore
Complete paving, hard-surface repair, sealcoating, cleanup and close-out work.

Industries and Asset Types Served
ESA capabilities support projects across multiple industries including:
Natural Gas & Energy
Power Generation
Water & Wastewater
Chemical Processing
Industrial & Manufacturing
Related Capabilities
ESA’s structure allows projects to be supported across multiple operating companies when required.
Natural Gas Infrastructure
For underground pipeline work, utility corridors and energy distribution systems.
Civil Construction & Site Development
For excavation, site preparation, concrete, road work and restoration.
Industrial & Commercial Construction
For facility improvements, utility buildings and commercial or industrial support scopes.
Rather than operating as isolated contractors, ESA companies can work together to support larger and more complex projects.
Keep essential utility systems moving.
Whether the scope is a distribution replacement, facility upgrade, emergency repair or coordinated multi-discipline project, ESA can connect you with the operating company built for the work.
