Our Process

01

Step 1: Planning and Preparation

Before the actual trenching process begins, it is crucial to plan and prepare the project site in Cambridge and surrounding areas in Ontario. This includes identifying the best route for the trench, marking the area where the trench will be dug, and obtaining any necessary permits. In addition, it is essential to contact local utility companies to locate any underground utilities, such as gas lines or water mains, to avoid causing damage while digging.

02

Step 2: Site Excavation

Once the planning and preparation are complete, the trenching construction process can begin. Using specialized equipment like trenchers, backhoes, or excavators, the team will carefully dig the trench along the pre-determined route. The depth and width of the trench will be determined by the project requirements and local building codes. During the excavation, the team will follow safety guidelines to ensure the stability of the trench walls and minimize the risk of collapse.

03

Step 3: Utility Installation

After the trench has been excavated to the desired depth and width, the utility installation process can commence. Depending on the project, this may involve laying gas lines, water pipes, or electrical conduits within the trench. The utility lines must be installed according to the project specifications and local building codes to ensure safe and efficient operation.

04

Step 4: Backfilling and Site Restoration

Once the utility installation is complete, the final step in the trenching construction process is to backfill the trench with the excavated soil. The soil should be compacted properly to prevent settling and ensure the stability of the trench.
