Utility Trenching

Utility Trenching in Bozeman

Getting water, sewer, gas, electric, and drainage lines into the ground takes a clean, correctly bedded trench and a crew that respects what a deep cut can do. Itavb trenches for utilities across Bozeman with the right machine for the run, proper pipe bedding, and controlled backfill so the line is protected and the surface settles evenly along Mendenhall Street or wherever the service crosses.

Why Trench Safety Is Not Optional

• OSHA Subpart P. Any trench 5 feet deep or greater gets a protective system, either a trench box, sloping, or benching, with a competent person inspecting the cut daily.
• Locate first, dig second. We file the 811 Call Before You Dig ticket and wait the notice period so existing utilities are marked before we open the ground.
• Bedding that lasts. Sand or select bedding under and over the pipe prevents point loads and the slow settlement that cracks a line years later.

Our Process

We call in the locate, lay out the run, and open the trench with an excavator sized to the depth. The line goes in on proper bedding, gets inspected, and we backfill and compact in lifts so the surface does not sink over a 59715 driveway or a Grand Avenue crossing. Then we grade the disturbed strip back smooth.
