Who We Are
The National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA) of Iowa has represented the interests of the underground contracting community for four decade. We have more than 70 members comprised of utility and general contractors and suppliers in the public utility arena such as communications, gas, sewer and fiber optic work both trench and trenchless technologies.
Our Purpose
NUCA was formed in 1964 when a handful of visionary contractors digging for a better future signed the association’s articles of incorporation.
The original statement of purpose referred to the association’s mission “to represent the common interests of utility contractors at hearings, meetings and conferences held by legislative and public administrative bodies on a national, state and local level.”
From that time forward, NUCA has worked tirelessly to promote the interests of the underground utility and excavation contracting industry before legislators and regulators, succeeding in thwarting laws and rules that threatened our industry’s viability and profitability and pushing for those helpful to our members’ businesses and the environment in which they operate.
NUCA National
Representing nearly 2,000 contractors, suppliers and manufacturers, the National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA) is the only organization focusing solely on the water, sewer, gas and underground utility construction industry. NUCA was founded in 1964 by individuals seeking to unify the utility contractors in order to effectively tackle problems and improve general conditions within the industry. Today, with its strong membership and the affiliation of 40 state and local chapters, NUCA maintains a wide range of benefits, educational opportunities, and services designed specifically for YOU!
