Excavation and Trenching
Utility Trenching
Trench excavation for water, sewer, storm drain and gas pipeline scopes, built to the project plans and the requirements of the agency or owner with jurisdiction.
Potholing
Exposing existing utilities to confirm their location where the plans or conditions call for it, so conflicts can be resolved before trenching or tie-in work.
Backfill
Backfill of utility trenches to the project specifications and the requirements of the agency with jurisdiction.
Commercial Utility Demolition
Removal of abandoned or conflicting underground utilities.
Removal of abandoned or conflicting underground utilities on commercial, industrial and public works sites.
Before any removal, the facility must be isolated and disconnected by the responsible, authorized party, typically the owner or operator of the utility, and confirmed out of service. Removal proceeds after that confirmation, following the plans and the requirements of the owner or agency with jurisdiction.
Utility Sitework and Restoration
Utility-related sitework that supports underground construction: site preparation for utility work, and restoration of pavement, concrete and surfaces disturbed by trenching, potholing or utility removal, as the contract requires.
Our Approach: Competitive Pricing. Clear Scopes. Fewer Surprises.
Excavation near existing lines starts with DigAlert (811) notification and markings.
Clear Marks First
Marks show the approximate location of lines the operators own or maintain. They do not show depth, and not every line is marked.
Confirm Before Digging
Potholing helps confirm what is in the ground before the trench is opened.
Scope Clarity
We identify inclusions, exclusions and assumptions in the excavation, backfill and restoration scope so bids can be compared accurately.
Underground construction will always involve some uncertainty. Our goal is to communicate clearly and help project teams understand the work before construction begins.
