Nearly 600 Feet of Relief

Excavation contractors in Monroeville deal with more elevation change than most suburbs. The municipality ranges from 735 to 1,319 feet across its 19.7 square miles. Monroeville grew 29.2 percent between 1960 and 1970, peaked at 30,977 in 1980, and had 28,640 residents in 2020.

Commercial corridor

US 22 is the main business district, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike meets I-376 at Exit 57. Monroeville Mall, office parks and the convention center anchor commercial land. Small commercial pads, parking drainage and utility trenches are part of our work here alongside residential jobs.

Homes from the boom

The 2000 census counted 13,159 housing units. Many date to the 1960s and 1970s growth. Those homes now need lateral replacement, foundation drainage and updated driveways and patios.

Slopes and runoff

With almost 600 feet of relief, many lots have significant slopes. Runoff from uphill lots and from roads causes many drainage complaints. Swales, curtain drains and underground downspout lines are common fixes.

Research and office land

U.S. Steel's research laboratory in Monroeville employed nearly 1,800 people at its 1979 peak. Office parks and research campuses left large graded sites, and residential neighborhoods grew around them. Former campus and office ground can include old fill and utilities, which we watch for during site work.

State routes

US 22, PA 48 and PA 286 run through Monroeville. A driveway or drainage connection on any of them needs a PennDOT highway occupancy permit. Township and local streets go through the municipality.
