Frequently Asked Questions
What is trenching used for?
Trenching is used to dig narrow channels for utilities like drainage pipes, irrigation systems, plumbing and electrical lines. We excavate to the required depth and width based on what's being installed. Trenches are also used for footings or stormwater lines. We make sure each trench is accurate, stable and ready for the next trade so your project stays on track.
How deep can you dig a trench?
We dig to suit your project, whether it's shallow for irrigation or deeper for sewer or stormwater. Depth depends on the service, soil type and access. Before starting, we check the plans, assess the site and confirm ground conditions. In most cases, we can dig anywhere from a few hundred millimetres to over a metre deep, depending on what's needed.
Can you trench through rocky or difficult ground?
Yes, we can trench through hard or uneven ground using the right machinery and attachments. If we hit rock, we switch to rock hammers or other tools to break it up safely. Every site is different, so we assess access, soil and surface conditions before starting. With the right planning and equipment, we get the trench in without unnecessary delays.
