Utility Excavation/Trenching Plan

Understanding the process of trenching is critical to have a successful utility installation. It’s a guarantee no detail will be neglected, it’s why we take our planning seriously into this type of work.

One of the biggest parts of digging trenches is setting lines for either dry or wet utilities. When. the job is being done, it’s necessary to make sure the project manager is well informed about the terrain and around the area. The important part of the job is making sure you’re not running into other lines.

Dry & Wet Utilities

When installing dry utility lines such as gas lines, they need to consider environmental factors, following the state and federal regulations and making sure trenches are properly dug correctly. When installing wet utility lines such as wet lines, the same regulations apply.

The utility process can be convoluted, as it may involve excavation, grading, demolition, and installation of lines. It’s a serious job not to be taken lightly.
