Our team brings decades of experience to every job, backed by industry-recognized certifications and a safety-first mindset.

Certifications

UTI Qualified Crew

Our technicians and operators carry UTI certifications, meaning they have been trained and qualified through Utility Technologies International (UTI) in the specialized tasks of pipeline construction and maintenance. UTI-qualified personnel undergo rigorous evaluation to ensure they meet industry standards for skill and knowledge. This certification indicates that J & H Utilities’ crew members are qualified to perform critical pipeline operations safely and correctly, from welding procedures to pipeline pressure testing and more.


OSHA 30 Trained

Safety training is paramount at J & H Utilities. Key field leaders and supervisors have completed OSHA 30-hour training, a comprehensive occupational safety program. This certification demonstrates our team’s in-depth knowledge of job-site safety practices, hazard recognition, and OSHA regulations. An OSHA 30-trained crew ensures that safety protocols are properly implemented and monitored throughout each project. Clients can be confident that our worksites adhere to federal safety standards, reducing the risk of accidents and maintaining a safe environment for everyone involved.

Safety

Safety-First Culture

Nothing is more important than ensuring every job is done safely. We foster a safety-first culture where every crew member is trained to prioritize safe work practices on the job site. Daily safety briefings, rigorous equipment checks, and continuous training (including OSHA 30-hour certifications for supervisors) are standard practice. Our team follows strict safety protocols and industry guidelines to mitigate risks. From excavation and trench shoring to working with pressurized gas lines, compliance with safety standards is enforced at all levels. This culture of safety isn’t just a policy – it’s a mindset that J & H Utilities lives by on every project.


Advanced Digital Safety Tools

To enhance our safety efforts, J & H Utilities leverages advanced digital safety tools and technology. We utilize tools like Valtrex, CGIs (Combustible Gas Indicators), and ultrasonic gauges to monitor job-site conditions in real time. Valtrex is an example of a digital safety management system that helps track safety checks and workflows electronically, ensuring nothing is overlooked. Handheld CGI devices are used by our crews to detect any leakages or the presence of gas in the work area before and during operations, preventing potential hazards. We also employ ultrasonic thickness gauges on pipelines to check pipe integrity (wall thickness and detect flaws) without needing to shut down the line. By integrating these cutting-edge tools, we add extra layers of protection for our workers and the public, going beyond basic compliance. The result is a safer work environment and peace of mind for our clients, knowing that innovative safety technology backs every project.

Union Affiliated Contractor

J & H Utilities is a proud union contractor, employing skilled union labor for pipeline construction projects. As a union-affiliated company, we uphold the high standards of workmanship and training that come with union membership. Our pipeline crews often include members of trade unions (such as pipeline welders, operators, and laborers) who have gone through extensive apprenticeship and certification programs. Being a union contractor also means we are committed to fair labor practices and continuing education for our employees. Clients benefit from the professionalism and expertise of a union workforce, which translates into quality work delivered by technicians who are among the best in the field.
