Businessman. In 1919, Artukovich founded a construction company and shortly thereafter, began contracting with the City of Los Angeles and the Department of Water and Power as a sewer pipeline contractor. In 1923, his company installed Los Angeles County Sanitation District’s first pipeline. In the 1920s and 30s, the firm installed sewer pipelines mostly within Southern California but quickly expanded into water and storm drain pipelines across the state and grew into one of California’s most prominent leaders in underground construction. In 1941, the company installed the Palos Verde Feeder Pipeline and in 1951, the company laid over 90,000 feet of steel pipe for the San Francisco Water Department. In 1953, Artukovich made history in Los Angeles County by installing 12,000 feet of 12-foot diameter sewer pipeline; the largest in the county’s history, utilizing the largest available crane at the time. Over time, the company would install over 500 miles of pipeline including some of California’s most massive underground water, sewer and storm drain pipelines including the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct, Colorado River Aqueduct and San Diego Aqueduct.
