Our team has been hard at work this summer with several active projects, continued growth, and new partnerships. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to:
One of the largest undertakings right now is the ongoing work at Northern Natural Gas, where crews are excavating and replacing valves at 116 well heads. The process involves hydro excavation, digging approximately 3 to 5 feet deep and 4 feet wide per site to access the valves for replacement. While the work is routine, it’s essential for maintaining infrastructure integrity and keeping everything running safely.
Our team has also been back on-site at Offutt AFB, primarily focused on utility locating. This type of work ensures safe digging operations and proper infrastructure planning—especially important at high-security or high-traffic locations.
Outside of hydro excavation, we’re also running strong in our televising and cleaning division, especially through our ongoing work with McAninch Corporation and other contractors. This involves using specialized camera trucks to inspect sewer lines in new developments around Des Moines, ensuring infrastructure is clean, clear, and up to code.
Thanks to our expanding workload, we’ve recently added five new team members. We’re currently operating four vacuum trucks and two camera trucks—consistently—for the past few weeks. This kind of pace reflects not only our workload but also our team’s ability to rise to the occasion.
Special shoutout to Johnny Harold – our new salesman who brings years of industry experience and is driving our expansion into more towns. We have picked up a substantial increase in city contracts, including work for the City of Panora and outreach to more than 50 other municipalities. Johnny has played a key role in securing this new municipal work, and we’re seeing steady growth in our city-based services.
Also, a big thanks to our entire crew, whose long hours and dedication on our current jobs haven’t gone unnoticed. We also want to recognize McAninch for their partnership—our collaboration continues to help us grow and diversify our services.
As our client base grows, so do the possibilities. We continue to evaluate our services, offerings, and what our customers need, ensuring we remain a trusted partner in every project. From hydrovac excavation to precise potholing and detailed CCTV inspections, MVP is committed to delivering solutions that meet the demands of today while preparing for the opportunities of tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone for your continued hard work and flexibility as we expand. Whether you’re in the field, in the office, or on the road—this growth wouldn’t be possible without you.
