Our Story
Family owned and operated company since 1978.
Since 1978 we have been in the business of providing underground utility construction services. Our capabilities include distribution systems for gas, electric, steam and telecommunications. We are known as a company that is more than willing to tackle the difficult projects that other companies may shy away from. We constantly work under varying conditions and projects often see us tackling an aging infrastructure, difficult terrain, and the complex world of underground utility construction.
Fortunately, we possess the technical abilities, creativity, expertise, and work ethic that allow us to find solutions for our customers’ needs. For decades, we’ve been coming up with effective ways to implement our ideas. We’ve been keeping our methods and equipment updated, and our work has been meeting or surpassing regulatory requirements and best industry practices. When you call on us, you can expect dedicated service and unwavering professionalism.
In 1978, Sonny Kaltz founded Kaltz Excavating, a company that has developed its sterling reputation serving communities in Michigan for decades. To this day, we continue to be family-owned and family-operated.
To expand the scope of the services we offer and increase our ability to improve people’s quality of life, we acquired MUE Inc. in 1996, broadening our pool of top workers.
Acquiring Union Excavating in 2008 was another important milestone, and it further enhanced our ability to perform complex and varied projects. The acquisition is also further proof of our strong skills in management and collaboration.
Our facility in Pontiac, Mich., which we moved to in 2018, has marked an exciting and promising new chapter for our business. We continue to provide high-level services to numerous communities in the area.
