Albany, the seat of Linn County and historically known as the Hub City of Oregon, is one of the most industrial cities in the Willamette Valley. It is home to ATI Specialty Materials, the metallurgical operation built on the legacy of Wah Chang and one of the country’s most significant titanium and rare-metals processors. Add the timber and lumber mills, food-grade manufacturers, freight rail infrastructure, and the Linn County government complex, and you have a city where commercial work means real heavy-civil work.
That is exactly what Lovett Services does. Our Portland-metro book of business is built on industrial and manufacturing properties: facilities with active production lines, fragile subsurface utilities, environmental considerations, and tight shutdown windows. The same project managers, operators, and equipment that handle complex Portland industrial work mobilize to Albany when the project warrants it.
We are honest about the trade-off. Albany sits roughly 70 miles south of our 6920 NE 42nd Ave hub on I-5, so we are not the right call for a 20-minute response on a leaky faucet. We are the right call when you need a CCB-licensed commercial contractor with hydro excavation trucks, mini-excavators, directional drilling rigs, and pipe-bursting equipment on your site, doing the work properly, with the permits handled and the paperwork in order.
Albany’s industrial base, from ATI Specialty Materials and the Pacific Boulevard manufacturing corridor to Linn County government facilities, runs on infrastructure that does not forgive shortcuts. One contractor, one dispatcher, every major commercial service under one roof.
Installation, repair, maintenance, leak detection, and water service. Includes backflow testing and sump pump service. Licensed plumbers available 24/7.
Rooter service, high-pressure jetting, sewer camera inspection, grease trap cleaning, and preventative maintenance programs.
Hydro excavation, stormwater maintenance, debris extraction, waste removal, and confined space support.
Site work, grading, trenching, sewer rehab, pipe bursting, concrete, and demolition.
HDD, trenchless conduit installation. PGE Certified. .75” to 24”+.
Emergency extraction, structural drying, mold remediation, and restoration.
Turnkey commercial EV charging infrastructure: power and communications drilling, concrete pad construction, and full charger installation for multifamily, retail, and fleet properties.
Albany’s manufacturing economy runs on continuous production. ATI Specialty Materials, the local timber and lumber mills, and the food-grade processors that line Pacific Boulevard and Highway 99E cannot simply pause for a contractor. We plan our scope around your shutdown windows, coordinate directly with your on-site safety officers and maintenance leads, and stage crew and materials in advance so the productive work starts the moment we are cleared on site. Hot-work permits, lockout-tagout, confined-space entry, we treat all of it as part of the job, not an afterthought.
The Albany industrial footprint also carries a deep legacy. The Wah Chang site, now operating as ATI Specialty Materials, and several decommissioned mill properties have specific subsurface conditions documented in environmental records. When we work on or adjacent to legacy industrial sites, we coordinate with your environmental consultant, follow site-specific health and safety plans, and default to hydro excavation over mechanical digging anywhere the underground picture is uncertain. We do not perform hazardous-waste remediation ourselves, but we routinely work alongside environmental contractors to safely accomplish the civil and plumbing scope.
Permitting across Linn County and the City of Albany requires the same playbook we use across Oregon: right-of-way submittals, plumbing and mechanical permits, erosion-control filings, and traffic-control plans for the Pacific Boulevard corridor. We also handle the freight rail proximity considerations that come with working near the Union Pacific and Portland & Western lines that cut through Albany’s industrial core. Our project managers carry the permit work so your in-house team stays focused on operating the facility, not chasing paperwork.
We cover Albany and the broader Linn County footprint, mobilizing crews and equipment down the I-5 corridor to the Hub City. We also serve these nearby communities:
We are not the cheapest plumber in town and we are not the local handyman. We are the contractor you call when the work has to be done right, documented, and warrantied.
Our project managers and operators run jobs around active production lines daily in the Portland metro. That same playbook scales to ATI, lumber mills, food-grade plants, and any Albany facility where shutdown windows are measured in hours, not days.
Vac trucks, mini-excavators, full-size excavators, directional drilling rigs, pipe-bursting equipment, and sewer cameras all mobilize from Portland to Albany on a single project. You do not have to coordinate three different subcontractors to get the work done.
CCB #125507, fully insured, and PGE-certified for power conduit installation. Every project closes out with a 1-year workmanship warranty. If something we built fails inside that window, we come back and fix it, full stop.
Real reviews from property managers and business owners across the Pacific Northwest.
“These guys were extraordinary — Gary and his crew worked through the night to restore water and sewage to 26 homes. A dedicated crew that didn’t clock out until every house was up and running.”
Columbia Way West
“We use Lovett often, always calling when we’re in a pinch. The team always steps up. Ken and Andrew always come through, 100% of the time. There is nothing these guys can’t do.”
Multi-Family Property Owner
“As a facilities professional it’s always a pleasure to work with contractors who know their business. Charges were in line with expectations and the quality was first rate. An outstanding choice.”
Facilities Professional
Yes. Albany sits about 70 miles south of our Portland hub on I-5, and we run scheduled project work, planned maintenance contracts, and infrastructure builds throughout Linn County. Our typical mobilization window for Albany is 90 to 105 minutes from our 6920 NE 42nd Ave yard. For true after-hours emergencies we will dispatch, but we are transparent: clients who need rapid-response within minutes are better served by a local plumber on the small stuff, while scheduled excavation, hydro excavation, pipe bursting, and capital-project plumbing are exactly the work we travel for.
Absolutely. Industrial work is a core part of our Portland metro book of business, and the same crews handle Albany projects. We have experience working around active production lines, coordinating with on-site safety officers, scheduling shutdown windows, and operating heavy equipment near sensitive infrastructure. Albany’s metals processing, lumber and timber, and food-grade manufacturing facilities all fit the kind of environments our project managers and operators know how to navigate.
Albany has a long industrial history, and some sites carry legacy soil or groundwater considerations. We coordinate with your environmental consultant, follow site-specific health and safety plans, and use hydro excavation rather than mechanical digging when subsurface conditions are uncertain. We do not perform hazardous-waste remediation ourselves, but we routinely work alongside environmental contractors on industrial properties and adjust our methods to fit the site’s requirements.
Yes. Our project managers pull right-of-way, plumbing, mechanical, and erosion-control permits across multiple Oregon jurisdictions, and Linn County and the City of Albany are part of that footprint. We handle pre-construction submittals, traffic control planning for Pacific Boulevard and Highway 99E work zones, and inspection coordination so your team is not chasing paperwork.
For scheduled work, we typically mobilize within the agreed project window with crew, equipment, and materials staged ahead of time. For unscheduled service calls, plan on a 90 to 105 minute drive from Portland, plus traffic on I-5 through Salem. We are upfront about this: we are not the right call if you need someone on-site in 20 minutes. We are the right call when you need a contractor with the equipment, licensing, and experience to handle the work properly the first time.
