Utility Line Excavation and Installation
Most of our excavation work involves installing or repairing underground utility lines. Water line excavation requires careful trenching to the proper depth below the frost line, typically 36-42 inches in Western Pennsylvania. Sewer line excavation must maintain proper slope (typically 1/4 inch per foot) for gravity flow. Gas line excavation follows strict safety protocols and depth requirements set by utility companies and local codes. We also handle storm water drainage excavation, electrical conduit trenching, and telecommunications line installation.

The Excavation Process
Every excavation project begins with proper planning. We obtain necessary permits, coordinate utility locates through PA One Call, and review site conditions. Before any digging begins, all underground utilities are marked. Our excavation process includes setting up proper safety barriers and signage, carefully removing topsoil and setting it aside for later restoration, excavating to the required depth and width for the utility being installed, ensuring proper bedding material for utility lines, installing or repairing the utility system, performing required inspections, backfilling with proper materials and compaction, and restoring your property including topsoil replacement and seeding or sodding.
