Utility Trenching & Site Excavation
Get the Ground Open for the Installing Trade
Before a plumber or electrician can run an underground line, someone needs to excavate the route. Bringing in excavation support lets the installing crew concentrate on its part of the job.
Lucas Excavating provides utility trenching for new construction throughout Sterling Heights and Metro Detroit. Services support storm, power, and gas-related project needs, with the appropriate trade handling utility installation.
Trenching Planned Around the Installation
The trench must support the work going into it. Discussing the route and excavation requirements with the installing contractor helps define what needs digging before equipment arrives. Lucas Excavating handles the excavation portion of the project, working directly with contractors or as a subcontractor. Related clearing, concrete removal, and grading can be included where needed.
Storm-Related Trench Excavation
Trenching support for underground storm drainage work, giving the installing contractor access to place the planned system. Related grading can be discussed as part of the site work.
Power & Gas-Related Trenching
Excavation for underground power and gas-related construction needs. The electrician or utility contractor handles line installation; Lucas prepares the trench for that work.
Trenching for Plumbing Connections
Trench excavation for plumbers running underground lines into new homes. The excavation scope is coordinated with the installing trade so responsibilities are clear.
Clear the Route Before Excavation Starts
Existing concrete, trees, or brush may block the equipment from the planned trench. Including removal in the excavation scope addresses those obstacles before the installing crew needs access.
Lucas can handle concrete demolition and hauling, vegetation clearing, and related ground preparation. That gives the contractor one point of coordination for the removal and excavation stages.

Establish the Excavation Limits Before Work Begins
Trenching may involve more than opening the ground. Existing concrete may need removal, soil may need hauling, and related areas may need grading.
Identify those tasks with the installing contractor before excavation starts. The estimate can then distinguish the trenching and preparation Lucas will handle from the installation work remaining with the next trade.
