Prunty Construction — Underground Utility Contractor in Brookings, SD (Est. 1949, Family-Owned)
Prunty Construction has been operating in Brookings since 1949, when Glen Prunty founded the company with a focus on underground utility construction. His sons Homer and Roger came into the business over the following decades, and the company has remained family-run ever since. At this point they are one of the more tenured utility contractors in eastern South Dakota, with a track record spanning public municipality work and private development projects across the region.
Their specialty is underground infrastructure: the pipes and systems that never get seen once a project is done but absolutely have to be right. Water mains, sanitary sewer lines, storm sewer systems, box culverts, lift stations, and force mains are all core to what they do. On the commercial development side, they handle full site utility installation including grease interceptors, domestic water lines, fire suppression lines, drain fields, and underground stormwater detention systems.
For municipalities and developers in eastern South Dakota, Prunty is one of the contractors with the equipment and experience to handle large-diameter pipe work on compressed timelines. Their 75-plus years in the Brookings market means they have worked through the soil conditions and seasonal constraints specific to this part of South Dakota repeatedly. The company is a member of the South Dakota Associated General Contractors and the Sioux Falls Contractors Association, which satisfies the bonding and licensing requirements that most public contract bids require.
