Company History

Starting in 2012, Lyles Utility Construction acquired assets associated with W.M. Lyles Co.’s natural gas construction operations. The Lyles family’s pipeline construction history dates back to the 1940s when W.M. and Elizabeth Lyles started their business in Avenal, California. Some of their earliest clients — such as Southern California Gas Company, a regulated subsidiary of Sempra Energy — remain valued clients of ours today. We create close relationships with our clients that continue for decades through many challenging, successfully completed projects.

In everything we do, we are always committed to putting safety first and building to the highest standards of quality and reliability for dependable performance over time.
