Local ground notes

Digging in Portland.

Portland’s small-town homes and farmland edges combine older lines with open ground.

Older lines in town benefit from camera inspection and repair, while the edges of town call for long runs.

Every Portland job starts the same way: an 811 locate request, a walk of the marks and the route, and a plan for depth, method and restoration. Where lines are close, we verify them by potholing before the heavy digging begins.

Illustrated cross-section of the lines under a typical lot.

Electric

Electrical conduit protects wire from soil, rock and future digging. A licensed electrician pulls and connects the wire. We dig, lay conduit and sweeps, add warning tape and backfill.

Typical depth

Often the shallowest line. Depth follows the electrical plan and the utility.
