Why Proper Utility Trenching Matters

Utility trenching might look straightforward, but accuracy and planning make all the difference. Each trench must meet specific standards for depth, slope, and separation to prevent cross-contamination, freezing, or safety hazards.

In the Jasper area, where rocky and clay-heavy soil is common, getting the depth and grade right is essential. Digging too shallow can expose pipes to freezing temperatures or damage, while improper spacing between gas, water, and electrical lines can lead to costly rework or safety risks.

A properly dug trench ensures that:

Utilities are protected from surface pressure and weather exposure

Each system is safely separated according to code

Drainage is optimized to prevent water buildup

Your site remains stable and accessible during and after installation

We bring precision and local know-how to every trenching job, whether you’re connecting to city utilities or setting up a new private service line.
