About WUCA


At WUCA, we are driven by a deep commitment to serving the unique needs of contractors who build and maintain critical infrastructure underground. We understand that as older systems falter and new technologies emerge, maintaining the highest standards of workmanship, ethics, and safety becomes paramount. The risks inherent in underground work underscore the importance of our mission: to ensure not only the safety of those performing the work but also the long-term integrity of the infrastructure upon which communities rely.

 

Our advocacy efforts focus on promoting a safe working environment, supporting worker initiatives, and fostering better communication among engineers, city officials, and utility companies. By leading conversations and initiatives that prioritize safety, quality, and ethics, we aim to elevate the standards of the industry and create more opportunities for all stakeholders politically, economically, and socially. Through open communication and collaboration, we strive to be the driving force behind the improvement of our community's infrastructure, ensuring its reliability, resilience, and accessibility for generations to come.

Reflecting on the 57th Annual WUCA Golf Classic The 57th Annual WUCA Golf Classic at the beautiful Ironwood Golf Course in Sussex, WI, was a hole-in-one! With perfect weather and 172 golfers, the event was a fantastic opportunity for construction professionals to connect, compete, and support WUCA's mission. Perfect Day on the Greens Under sunny skies, our participants enjoyed a round of golf that fostered camaraderie and networking. The manicured course provided the perfect backdrop for both seasoned golfers and newcomers to the game. While the two hole-in-one competitions, sponsored by R&R Insurance didn't lead to big winners, players certainly had a blast! The competition was fierce, with the top team scoring an impressive 17 under par. The day ended with great prizes, awards, and a festive dinner banquet that had everyone celebrating their achievements. Thank You to Our Sponsors A big shout-out to our amazing sponsors! Your support is the driving force behind this successful event and the continued growth of the underground contracting community. Golf Carts: Aring Equipment Company, Inc.
