The problem to avoid
Scope the cause and the finished result.
Depth, route, existing utilities, spoil placement, bedding, inspection, and surface restoration all influence a trenching project.
Trenching services
Trenching Coordinated With the Installation
Controlled trench excavation for drainage, conduit, water, and site utilities, coordinated around access and restoration.
GradeCraft's approach
Plan the connected parts.
GradeCraft coordinates the excavation with the installation requirements and the condition the disturbed area must return to.
- The route, depth, length, and required separations
- Public mark-outs and any private locating needed
- Backfill, compaction, and surface restoration
Research-backed guidance
The safest trench starts before the bucket reaches the ground.
New Jersey's safe-digging guidance requires an 811 markout request at least three business days before excavation. The trench also has to match the installation requirements for depth, separation, bedding, inspection, backfill, and surface restoration.
The right scope still depends on site conditions, utility requirements, drainage outlets, permits, and the intended finished use.
What a sound plan considers
- Request public utility markouts and identify any private locating needs.
- Confirm requirements with the utility provider, licensed trade, plan, or project designer.
- Plan spoil placement, backfill, compaction, access, and restoration as one scope.
