Trenching and Utility Excavation

Trenching and Utility Excavation in Bentonville

Getting water, sewer, gas, electric, and drainage into a site means clean, correctly bedded trenches, not just a slot in the ground. Footyforfood trenches to line and grade, sets the pipe on proper bedding, and backfills in lifts so nothing settles over the run. A short service lateral off Central Avenue and a long drainage run across acreage near Lowell both get the same attention to depth and slope.

Why Bedding and Backfill Matter

• Pipe that lasts. Proper sand or gravel bedding cradles the line so it does not crack under the backfill or truck traffic above it.
• No trench-line dips. Backfilling in compacted lifts keeps the ground from settling and leaving a soft rut over the utility run.
• Passes inspection. Correct depth, bedding, and slope are what the inspector checks, and we build to it the first time.

Our Process

We place the 811 locate and wait the two business days before opening ground. Any cut 5 feet deep or greater gets a protective system, sloping, benching, or a trench box, per OSHA Subpart P, and a competent person inspects it daily. We set the pipe, bed it, backfill in lifts, and restore the surface grade.
