Process

  1. Utility Locates: Call 811; mark existing lines; plan route.
  2. Trench Excavation: Depths and widths per utility type; safe sloping or shoring.
  3. Bedding: Clean sand or gravel as required for pipe/conduit support.
  4. Placement: Install pipe, conduit, or cable per spec.
  5. Backfill: Lift-by-lift with proper compaction to prevent settlement.
  6. Restoration: Restore surfaces; reseed or gravel as needed.
