If trenching impacts a public street, sidewalk, alley, or right-of-way (ROW)—or if you’re connecting utilities near the roadway—permits may apply.
Safety First: Indiana 811 Utility Locates Are Required: Trenching can intersect buried utilities often in places property owners don’t expect. Indiana’s “Call Before You Dig” law requires excavators to contact Indiana 811 at least two full working days before excavation so underground facilities can be marked.
We plan trench routes with permit and ROW realities in mind so you don’t get stuck mid-project.
