Trenching is a fundamental part of underground construction, and our team is experts at it. We provide trenching services to cut clean, accurate trenches for the installation of cables, conduits, and pipelines across Western Australia. Using a range of equipment – from chain trenchers for narrow telecom trenches to large excavators for deep sewer or water pipelines – we can handle any trench profile required. Before we dig, we obtain utility clearances and perform careful site assessments to avoid existing underground assets. During excavation, our operators follow engineered alignments and depths to ensure the trenches precisely meet your project specifications.
Safety in trenching is paramount. We implement proper shoring, benching, or battering for deeper excavations to protect workers and prevent collapses. Our crew is trained in confined space entry for placing pipes or cables in trenches safely. We are adept at trenching in diverse ground conditions – from hard rock that may require rock-breaking, to loose sands that need trench wall stabilisation. Whether trenching in a busy plant site or along a remote corridor, we maintain strict safety zones and traffic management around the work area to safeguard personnel and property.
As a full-service contractor, Tieleman Excavation & Construction doesn’t just dig trenches and leave. We can handle the entire utility installation process within those trenches. After excavation, we assist with laying pipes or conduits (including performing any required Poly Welding for HDPE pipelines) and then backfill and compact the trench to restore the surface. Our trenching service often works in tandem with our Pit & Pipe installations and Cable Laying or Cable Hauling operations, providing a seamless progression from open trench to completed underground utility. For sections where open-cut trenching is not feasible, we coordinate with our Directional Drilling Services team to offer alternative trenchless solutions.
From short service trenches to kilometres of pipeline, we have the capability to get it done right. If you require trenching services anywhere in WA, contact us or request a quote today.
