What do trench digging services include?

Trench digging services are needed for various reasons across New Zealand. These include drainage, waterproofing around houses, and even housing an in-ground trampoline. In a commercial setting, trench digging is needed for construction, installing utilities, and drainage management.

Trench digging is a very physical form of work, so more of it is being done by machinery these days. However, manual trench digging is often still needed where the trench is close to utilities like stormwater drains or underground electrical lines, or where machinery can’t get access to the site.

No matter if you need a trench digging contractor with a Bobcat compact loader or a chain trencher, or someone with manual labour skills, you can find an experienced and skilled tasker on the Ezy Peazy platform. The expert taskers you’ll find on Ezy Peazy will help you dig trenches safely, quickly, and efficiently.

Here’s how trench digging service can help you:

Trench Design and Planning

The first and most important phase of trench digging services is design and planning, which will set up a successful trenching project. A trench digging tasker you find on Ezy Peazy will talk to you first to understand your project objectives, including identifying the purpose of the trench, its required depth and length, and any safety or environmental concerns.

They will also assess the best path for the trench by looking at factors like soil type, existing utilities, and natural features. This will avoid potential accidents, disruptions, and obstacles during excavation.

Trench Excavation

Once your trench design is finalised, mechanical or manual trench digging begins. During this phase, the tasker you find on Ezy Peazy will make sure that all your requirements are met. For example, if the trench is for electrical work, they will collaborate with your electrician to make sure the electrical cables are accommodated securely.

If the trench is for water pipes, your tasker will make sure the trench is dug precisely to ensure proper water flow and prevent leaks. And, for sprinkler systems, the trenches will be dug accurately to prevent damage to your sprinkler system and with minimal damage to your garden and outdoor area.

Similarly, for drainage systems, your tasker will make sure that the levels are correct, to efficiently divert water away from structures and prevent waterlogging and potential damage. And, if the trench is for gas lines, the tasker you can find on Ezy Peazy will adhere to the required standards to protect you, the community, and the surrounding environment.

Trench Repair and Maintenance

Trenches may need maintenance over time to ensure they continue to work optimally. Trench repair and maintenance services address various issues, including settling and erosion, which can compromise their structural integrity. Timely maintenance by a trench repair and maintenance tasker will prevent further damage and ensure your trench lasts longer.

Water pipe and drainage trenches may also develop leaks or suffer damage over time and rapid repairs are necessary to prevent water loss and structural issues. Additionally, if trenches are exposed to traffic – such as near or under your driveway – they may need reinforcement to prevent them from collapsing or deteriorating.

Trench Backfilling and Compaction

The tasker you find on Ezy Peazy will complete your trenching project by backfilling and compacting. These are important steps to make sure the trench and its surrounding area remain stable and safe.

With backfilling, they fill the trench with suitable materials to provide support and prevent future settling. They will then compact the backfilled soil to reduce gaps and increase the soil density to prevent settling and potential damage to the utilities buried in the trench.
