Manchester Excavation & Trenching

Opening ground in Manchester

Colchester Drive waterfront with clay seams and seeps on Beach Drive underneath is a machine job until the last foot around 1940s galvanized on beach homes, which is a hand job. We do both on the same Manchester visit, and we don't leave an open hole for someone else to finish.

The village near the state park near Rich Passage, poly on the Colby Road parcels below, till bluff above Rich Passage around it: that's the Manchester version of excavation and trenching, and water surfacing far downhill of the meter is the usual first clue.

Groundwater is part of every Kitsap County excavation from November to May, and hardpan up Mile Hill under the village near the state park holds plenty. Pumps keep the pit workable while we backfill in lifts, and gravel keeps the pipe out of the muck when we locates.

Excavation for electricians, waterproofing contractors and builders is regular Manchester work. We bring the machine, pumps and plywood, open what's needed through clay seams and seeps on Beach Drive, and put the village near the state park back: grade, rake, seed, gravel, bark, pavers.

Manchester ground conditions

Slope work with ground protection and spoils on tarps above the water. We bring locating equipment, pumps and the mini excavator on the first trip, and we handle the whole job in-house.

Backfill in compacted lifts is the difference between excavation and trenching that disappears and a trench line that sinks across rural parcels along Colby Road for five years. In till bluff above Rich Passage we do it in lifts, every time, and finish the surface near Rich Passage.

How the dig goes

Three steps carry most of the weight on rural parcels along Colby Road: open the ground, backfill in lifts, locates. Near the fuel depot that has meant working mini excavator with digging around fill and beach deposits on Colchester Drive and copper running downhill from road meters; the sequence doesn't change, the hours do.

On the truck for Manchester: hand tools for tight, mini excavator with digging, pumps, the mini excavator. Whether excavation and trenching is a morning or a day on Beach Drive lots sloping to the water comes down to fill and beach deposits on Colchester Drive and whether the line is modern PEX on waterfront rebuilds.

From Rich Passage to the fuel depot the pattern holds for excavation and trenching: poly on the Colby Road parcels, till bluff above Rich Passage, the village near the state park, and an owner who noticed water surfacing far downhill of the meter first.

Around Manchester

Beach Drive lots sloping to the water near Pomeroy Park or Colby, fill and beach deposits on Colchester Drive or not, excavation and trenching gets the same crew and the same equipment. Down Mile Hill Drive from Port Orchard, day or night.
