Auckland Utility Trenching

We locate before we dig, without exception. Auckland sections are full of services that aren't where the plans say they are, and a strike means an emergency call-out, a repair bill, and often the whole street without water for an afternoon.

We know the depth requirements for each service type, and they're not interchangeable. A trench dug to power cable depth won't pass for a water main, and finding that out at inspection means digging it all again.

We also work around what you'd rather keep. Established trees, new paving and finished landscaping can usually be avoided with a bit of route planning, and we'd rather add a few metres to the trench than take out a tree you like.

Our reinstatement is the part people actually notice. Anyone can dig a trench; leaving your lawn without a permanent sunken scar down the middle of it takes compacting the backfill in layers rather than tipping it all in at once.

We bed services properly. Cable and pipe laid straight onto rocky clay gets damaged during backfill or fails later, so the right bedding sand or fill goes in around it before anything else goes on top.

And we coordinate around inspections. If your trench needs to be seen before it's covered, we plan the work so it isn't sitting open for a week or, worse, backfilled before anyone's looked at it.
