Who We Are

A family of dedicated professionals united in spirit.

Portland Utilities Construction Company, LLC (PUCC) was founded as an underground utility contractor in 1991 by Ernie Woodcock.

At the turn of the millennium, PUCC carved out its niche in the “trenchless pipe rehabilitation” industry by pioneering and promoting the “pipe bursting” method of pipe replacement in Tennessee and its seven border states. Today PUCC is one of the premier contractors in trenchless pipe rehabilitation.

PUCC offers its services to municipal and industrial clients across the Southeast and Midwest. Company headquarters are located in Portland, TN (about 35 miles north of Nashville) with satellite offices in Knoxville, TN and Houston, TX. Services include but are not limited to the following; Sewer Pipe Bursting, Water Line Pipe Bursting, Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP), Lateral Bursting, CCTV, Internal Spot Repairs, Sewer System Evaluation Services (SSES), Open-cut Pipe Replacement and Pump Stations.

Since 2000, PUCC has dedicated itself to the trenchless pipe rehabilitation industry by rehabilitating and replacing pipe in 15 different states and the District of Columbia totaling over 2,000,000 LF using both CIPP and Pipe Bursting methods. Along the way, PUCC has played a significant role in some of the largest and most prominent pipe rehabilitation programs in the country. Some of those municipalities include the City of Houston, TX, Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB), Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA), City of Atlanta, GA, Metro Water (Nashville, TN), Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission (WSSC), Washington Area Sewer Authority (WASA), & DeKalb County, GA.

PUCC strives to solve the diverse and complex water and sewer rehabilitation issues of each client with special attention toward meeting their unique and individual needs.
