Service Excavation
Electrical trenching, drainage trenching, common trench, and service trenching for gas, water, and sewerage across Central Victoria. Accurate, safe, and compliant service excavation from an experienced local contractor.
Service excavation covers the installation of underground utility infrastructure — the trenching and excavation work required to run electrical conduit, drainage lines, gas pipes, water mains, and sewerage services beneath the ground. Australian Trenching and Excavations provides professional service excavation across Central Victoria, working with residential, rural, and commercial clients as well as builders, electricians, plumbers, and civil contractors who need accurate, compliant trench excavation completed efficiently and safely.
Electrical Trenching
Electrical trenching requires precise depth, correct bedding material, and proper backfill compaction to meet the requirements of electrical distributors and WorkSafe Victoria. We perform electrical trenching for single dwellings, subdivisions, rural properties, and commercial developments, cutting to specified depths and ensuring the trench bottom is clean and free of sharp material before conduit is laid.
Drainage Trenching
Drainage trenching covers AG pipe, stormwater, and sewer service runs — including gravity-fed drainage systems that require precise fall across the full trench length. We cut drainage trenches to the specified grade, install bedding where required, and backfill to minimise future settlement. Proper drainage trenching is critical to ensuring gravity systems work as designed over the long term.
Common Trench & Multi-Service Trenching
On new subdivisions and development sites, common trench installations allow multiple services — power, communications, water, and gas — to be run in a single excavation, reducing cost and site disruption. We work to the separation distances and bedding requirements for each service type, ensuring the common trench meets the standards of all relevant authorities.
Gas, Water & Sewerage Service Trenching
Service trenching for gas, water, and sewerage mains requires accurate depth control and careful protection of the trench walls during installation. We perform service trench excavation across all soil types in Central Victoria, from sandy loams to heavy clay and rocky substrates, using equipment sized to the trench specification and site access constraints.
