Every service page shows a depth gauge so you know what the ground will see.
Standard utility trench
A typical utility trench for water, conduit, sewer laterals and drains, dug to the depth the utility or the code sets and closed in compacted lifts.
Deep dig, protected
Basements, lift stations, fire lines and deep sewers. Deeper digs get sloped sides, shoring or a trench box, and a plan for water and spoil.
Under it, not through it
Directional drilling, jack and bore and pipe bursting work from small entry and exit pits, leaving the surface between them undisturbed.
