Key factors

Bucket width

We choose the bucket to match the trench's purpose - from narrow cable trenches to wider pipe trenches.

Practical depth

Depth is set by the project, frost depth and the machine's capability.

Access width

The compact machine fits through narrow passages. We assess access beforehand.

Backfilling

After installation we backfill; by agreement we also add a sand bed and warning tape.

Frequently asked questions

How deep and wide a trench can you dig?
Trench width is set by the bucket width, while depth depends on the machine's capability and the project requirements. We agree on exact dimensions before starting work.
Do you backfill the trench?
Yes, once the utility is laid we backfill and rough-grade the site. By agreement we can also prepare a sand bed and lay warning tape.
Can you dig narrow trenches?
Yes. We use narrow buckets where needed to reduce the volume of excavated soil and protect the surrounding area.

From the sand bed to the final backfill - depth and width depend on the specific job and utility type.
