Lindsley Excavating

Lindsley Excavating / Underground utility excavation.

Underground utility excavation.

Lindsley provides excavation, trenching, bedding, backfill and site restoration for underground utility work. Water, sanitary and storm scopes can be reviewed alongside conduit trenching and the work of electrical or other specialty contractors.

Define installation and connection responsibilities

Identify who supplies the pipe or conduit, who installs each system, who makes final connections and who performs testing. Excavation support for an electrical contractor is different from a complete underground piping package. A clear scope matrix helps prevent gaps between trades.

Depth, conflicts and access drive the estimate

Provide utility routes, profiles, invert elevations and known crossings. Existing utilities, groundwater, trench support requirements and restricted access may change the construction approach. Drawings and available subsurface information are important inputs; field utility coordination remains necessary.

Include restoration and work windows

A utility trench may pass through pavement, gravel, lawn or an active entrance. Show each restoration area and identify required shutdowns or owner coordination. Backfill requirements, testing and surface reinstatement should appear in the estimate so the completed scope is comparable across bidders.

For your estimate

What to send.

  • Utility plans, profiles and specifications
  • System supply, installation and connection responsibilities
  • Existing-utility information and crossing details
  • Testing, shutdown and restoration requirements

Project questions

Do you provide trenching for electrical contractors?

Send the conduit route, depth, bedding detail and restoration limits. Conduit supply, installation and electrical work should be assigned explicitly.

Can water, sewer and storm work be included in sitework?

Yes. Share the complete civil package and identify owner or utility-company work so the proposal can define the construction interfaces.
