The National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA) is a trade association representing the underground utility industry in the United States. Founded in 1964, NUCA is the largest trade association for this industry in the country. It represents contractors, suppliers, and manufacturers involved in water, sewer, gas, electric, telecommunications, construction site development and excavation sectors of the industry.
NUCA is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C.
NUCA was founded and incorporated on April 11, 1964 in the law offices of attorney Joseph M. Stone in Washington, D.C. The original founders of NUCA include Stone, Peter J. Ellis, Pat Marinelli, Antonio Marinelli, D.A. Foster and Laurence Siebel.
NUCA's founding was predicated by a disagreement in the plumbing and utilities industries in the early 1960s. The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing, Pipefitting and Sprinkler Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada had notified union members that all outside lines, including storm and sanitary sewer lines, must be handled by their union members. Many utility contractors were also told that union they were required to submit their job plans to the United Association for review, and that the UA would assign the work. NUCA's founders believed that all of these factors posed a serious threat to utility contractors, and moved into action to sign articles of incorporation.
NUCA has 28 chapters, which comprises presences in 23 out of the 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia. This includes six chapters in Florida, and two each in the states of Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
