Safe and accurate trenching
Trenching may appear to be a simple task, but if done incorrectly, it can lead to drainage problems, unstable ground, and service damage. At Groundworx, we approach each trench with a plan. That means proper depth, alignment, and a stable foundation for the work that follows. From shallow service lines to deep drainage systems, we keep the excavation precise and efficient.
Trench excavation services we offer
Drainage trenches
Trenches are cut to spec for stormwater systems, surface drains, and channel installations. Depth and slope are set to manage water flow effectively and prevent pooling or erosion.
Utility trenches
Precise trenching for electrical cables, gas lines, water pipes, and other underground services. Digging is carried out with care to meet required depths and clearances.
Footing trenches
Excavation for footings and strip foundations in residential builds, renovations, and extensions. Trenches are shaped accurately for formwork and reinforcement placement.
Irrigation trenches
Narrow, shallow trenches for garden and landscape irrigation systems. These are laid out to avoid disrupting roots, paving, or surrounding features.
Service upgrades
Trenches are dug for replacing or installing new service lines, such as NBN, sewer, or power, with minimal impact on nearby structures or surfaces.


The Groundworx approach to trench excavation
Accurate planning
Measurements for depth, width, and alignment are confirmed before excavation starts. This ensures trenches meet project specifications and regulatory requirements.
Right equipment
Compact excavators and trenchers are selected for efficient digging in suburban blocks or tight spaces. Equipment choice depends on soil conditions and trench size.
Safe digging
Trenches are excavated with awareness of nearby services. Dial-before-you-dig protocols and cautious methods help avoid damage to existing infrastructure.
Neat finish
Once digging is complete, trenches are left clean, straight, and ready for installation or backfilling. Spoil is managed to keep the site tidy and accessible.
