Feeling Gassy? Us too.

In the heart of Utah, our mountains descend down to our sprawling valleys. Our communities thrive on reliable infrastructure (what a coincidence, that's what we do!). While earthwork, wastewater systems, and water movement are essential, one of the most crucial and often overlooked aspects of modern living is natural gas. At the core of delivering this vital resource is our dedicated Natural Gas Department and they play an indispensable role in ensuring that all of our homes stay warm, our businesses run smoothly, and our lives remain uninterrupted.

Building the Backbone of Modern Living

Natural gas is more than just a source of energy; it’s the lifeblood of countless Utah communities. From heating homes during the cold winter months to fueling stoves and BBQ grills for family dinners, its presence is integral to our daily life. Behind the scenes, we work tirelessly to lay the groundwork that allows this energy to flow safely and efficiently.

Our Natural Gas department is tasked with constructing and maintaining the extensive network of pipelines that deliver gas from production sites to homes and businesses across the state. These pipelines, often stretching for miles underground, require meticulous planning, precise execution, and ongoing maintenance to ensure that they operate without interruption.

We Value Safety

In the world of natural gas, safety is paramount. The construction and maintenance of gas pipelines must adhere to strict safety standards to prevent leaks, explosions, or other hazards. Our Natural Gas department employs a team of skilled employee-owners trained in the latest technologies and safety protocols to manage this responsibility. They are often the unseen heroes of the community’s well-being, ensuring that each pipeline is built to last and functions flawlessly.

Beyond construction, this department is also responsible for routine inspections, repairs, and upgrades to the natural gas infrastructure. This proactive approach helps to identify potential issues before they become problems, ensuring a consistent and reliable energy supply to Utah’s homes and businesses, including uninterrupted service for our important and valued clients.

Supporting Economic Growth and Sustainability

Our Natural Gas department’s work extends beyond just delivering energy—it also supports Utah’s economic growth. By providing reliable natural gas services, we enable businesses to operate efficiently, attract new industries, and create jobs. Whether it’s a local Salt Lake City restaurant cooking up famous dishes or a large manufacturing plant powering production lines, the availability of natural gas is a key factor in Utah's economic and financial success.

Moreover, natural gas is a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels, contributing to a more sustainable future for Utah. Our efforts in expanding and upgrading the natural gas infrastructure also play a role in reducing the state’s carbon footprint, aligning with broader environmental goals as well as being an important factor in our mission at Whitaker Construction.

Community Engagement and Commitment

Whitaker Construction's Natural Gas department is not just about pipes and infrastructure—it’s about people. We're deeply committed to the communities we serve. This commitment is evident in our engagement with local residents, from educating the public about natural gas safety to participating in community events. We understand that our work has a direct impact on the quality of life in Utah, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Whether we're responding to emergencies, working in challenging weather conditions, or simply ensuring that a new neighborhood has the energy it needs, we are always at the forefront, making sure that our very own communities have the resources they need to thrive.
