Excavation and Trench Work

Excavation and Trench Work for Plumbing and Underground Services

Excavation plays a crucial role in many plumbing and construction projects, especially when deep pipework or underground services are involved. At SXP, we offer specialised excavation services that enable us to efficiently complete plumbing tasks that would otherwise require significant manual labour. Our use of modern machinery, including our mini excavator, skid steer, Kanga mini loader and tipper truck, allows us to access tight spaces and complete jobs with minimal disruption to your property.

Why Use Excavation for Plumbing?

When pipes, drainage systems, or other services are located deep underground, excavation machinery makes the job faster and more cost-effective compared to manual digging. Our mini excavator is narrow enough to fit down the side of homes and through restricted spaces, making it the perfect solution for residential and commercial properties where access is limited.

Our Excavation and Trench Work Services Include:

Drainage Services and Pit Installations

Digging channels for sewer and stormwater pipework.
Installation of absorption trenches and drainage pits to manage water effectively.
Ensuring proper grading and drainage for optimal water flow.

Running Underground Services

Laying systems for irrigation, cold water, and communications lines beneath the ground. We ensure that these systems are securely installed, preventing future issues such as leaks or damage.
Our equipment allows us to work efficiently, even in areas with limited access (check out some of our work on Instagram: Post 1, Post 2, Post 3).

Backfilling and Aggregate Laying

Once the pipework or services are laid, we ensure everything is securely backfilled, with the option to lay aggregate for added stability and drainage.

Spoils Removal

Our mini excavator digs up soil, rock, and debris, while our skid steer or mini loader moves the spoils, which are then transported off-site with our tipper truck. This seamless process keeps your site clean and ready for the next phase of construction.

Driveway Preparation and Removal

Preparing your property for a new driveway? We can remove old materials and prepare the ground for new installations, ensuring a smooth and level surface.

Landscaping, Rock and Root Removal, and Ground Levelling

We provide excavation services for small landscaping projects, helping you remove rock, roots, and debris, as well as leveling the ground for future installations or improvements.

Attachments and Specialised Equipment

We also have a range of excavator attachments, including a rock breaker, allowing us to tackle tough jobs, such as breaking through concrete or rocky ground. This equipment ensures that no matter how challenging the terrain, we can get the job done efficiently and safely.

Safety and Compliance: Before Your Dig Australia

Safety is our priority. Before starting any excavation work, we conduct a Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) search to identify any underground utilities or services, ensuring that we avoid causing any damage or disruption.

Contractor’s Licence

For peace of mind, SXP Plumbing Services holds a contractor’s licence: 318240c, ensuring that all work is conducted to the highest standards and complies with local regulations.
