Utility Trenching in Winnipeg

All Around Property Maintenance provides professional utility trenching services for residential and commercial projects throughout Winnipeg and surrounding areas. We dig precise, safe trenches for water lines, sewer connections, electrical conduit, gas lines, and telecommunications infrastructure.

Trenching in Winnipeg requires careful attention to our unique soil conditions. The heavy clay that dominates our area holds water and can become unstable when excavated, especially during wet seasons. Our experienced operators understand how to manage these conditions safely, maintaining proper trench walls and using shoring or benching where required by code.

Manitoba’s deep frost line — approximately 4 to 6 feet below grade — means utility lines must be buried deep enough to avoid freezing. Water lines in Winnipeg are typically installed at minimum 7 to 8 feet deep, well below the frost penetration depth. We ensure every trench meets the depth and bedding requirements specified by the City of Winnipeg, Manitoba Hydro, and other applicable authorities.

Before any digging begins, we coordinate utility locates through Manitoba’s Call Before You Dig program. Safety is non-negotiable — we identify every buried utility on your property before a shovel hits the ground. From there, we excavate, prepare the trench bed, and backfill and compact in lifts to prevent future settlement.
