Before Excavation Begins
Every site has different conditions.
Do you locate the problem first?
Camera inspection and electronic locating may be used when appropriate to identify the route and likely failure area before excavation.
Do you handle solid rock?
Rock and difficult soil conditions can materially affect equipment, schedule and cost. Conditions are evaluated and discussed as part of the project.
Are permits or utility markings required?
Requirements depend on the municipality, utility and project. Public utility marking and required approvals must be completed before excavation.
Is final landscaping included?
Backfill and restoration responsibilities vary. The proposal identifies the agreed trench, surface and cleanup scope.
