Utility Joint Trenching
Joint trenching puts several utilities in one shared trench instead of digging a separate trench for each. It is the core of what Hudson Excavation has done since the early 1990s, and it is how most new developments get their power, gas and communication lines in the ground.
What is utility joint trenching?
Utility joint trenching is the process of excavating a single trench that carries more than one utility, such as gas, electric, phone, fiber and cable TV lines. Using one trench reduces the amount of digging on a site and keeps utilities organized underground. Hudson Excavation performs joint trenching for residential and commercial projects across Northern California.
