LOCAL SERVICE. PRACTICAL PLANNING.
Utility excavation rewards careful coordination
Underground utility work brings several parties together: the property owner, utility provider, installer, inspector and excavation crew. A clear route and sequence keep the trench from becoming the project’s bottleneck.
We prepare trenches, bedding zones and access points around the approved plan. Public locates are essential, and private utilities or irrigation lines may need separate identification before digging.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Underground utility questions in Independence
Do I need Oregon 811 before excavation?
Yes. Call before digging and allow time for participating utilities to mark their facilities. Private lines may require separate locating.
Do you make the final utility connections?
Our work focuses on excavation and site preparation. Licensed utility professionals handle connections where required.
Can trenches cross a driveway?
Yes, but restoration, compaction, traffic and utility depth need to be planned before the surface is opened.
