Excavation and Trenching

Excavation and Trenching in Bentonville

When it is time to dig, Virtualstrategist opens footings, crawl spaces, basements, and utility runs to plan depth and dimension. We excavate a clean, level bearing surface for concrete and manage the spoil so the site stays workable. For water, sewer, gas, and electric lines, we cut trenches with the right bedding and backfill, then compact them so the ground over the pipe does not settle later.

Why the Right Method Matters

• Worker and site safety. Any cut 5 feet or deeper gets sloping, benching, or a trench box under OSHA Subpart P, with a competent person inspecting daily.
• Utilities stay marked. We call 811 for a locate before the first bucket, so existing lines near Central Avenue and beyond are flagged and protected.
• No future settling. Bedding and backfill compacted in lifts keep driveways and slabs level over the trench.

Our Process

We confirm depths against the plan, locate utilities through 811, and set protective systems before anyone enters a trench. Then we dig, place bedding, set the pipe or forms, and backfill in compacted lifts. Foundation digs get an over-dig for forms and a compacted bearing surface ready for footings, all hauled and graded clean.
