Lockport carries a historic canal-town identity while continuing to develop along the Des Plaines corridor with new housing and commercial sites. Construction staking converts an approved civil design into field marks, building corners, utility runs, pavement lines and grades, so contractors build to plan. Where terrain and the canal corridor shape a site, precise layout keeps grading and drainage true to the engineer’s numbers.
Construction staking transfers the approved design to the ground — marking building corners, utilities, roads and grades so contractors build exactly where the plans intend. Accurate layout prevents costly rework and keeps projects on schedule.

With about 26,000 residents, Lockport sits in Lockport Township. Its subdivision plats and easements record with the Will County Recorder of Deeds in Joliet, the county seat, and its location along the Des Plaines River and the historic I&M Canal brings FEMA flood-hazard areas into the picture. New residential and commercial sites here rely on staking for lot and building corners, utility alignments, and cut/fill grade stakes referenced to the recorded plat and to control. Because parts of town fall near flood-hazard mapping, holding the design grades is central to how a site drains. Layout also keeps foundations and utilities clear of the easements shown on the plat.
The Des Plaines River and I&M Canal create flood-hazard areas, so staking to design grades helps the finished site drain and sit at the engineered elevations.
It generally starts with establishing control and building corners, then moves to utility alignments and pavement edges, and finishes with grade stakes.
Plats, easements and as-builts are filed with the Will County Recorder of Deeds in Joliet, the county seat, and staking references those documents.
