Tracyton Excavation & Trenching

Opening ground in Tracyton

Near Riddell Road we've trenched under gravel drives that had to stay passable; near Olympic High School we've hand-dug pits next to foundations where a bucket couldn't go. Access across plateau lots near Olympic High decides the method, and ground protection goes down either way.

If you're near Tracyton Boulevard or the boat launch and you've noticed a district bill with no visible cause, the odds are on galvanized on the older waterfront cabins in till under the Riddell Road grid. That's a job for excavation and trenching, not a guess with a shovel.

Locates are requested before any excavation and trenching with the machine, and near marked lines in seeps and springs in the Dyes Inlet bluff we hand dig. On sloped waterfront lots on the inlet we probe around galvanized on the older waterfront cabins before the bucket goes in; a dig that creates a second problem isn't one we want.

Plateau lots near Olympic High with dense hardpan on the plateau underneath is a machine job until the last foot around lines running uphill from the beach road, which is a hand job. We do both on the same Tracyton visit, and we don't leave an open hole for someone else to finish.

Tracyton ground conditions

Dense hardpan on the plateau and clay with seeps on the bluff. Up on the plateau around Tracyton Boulevard, Riddell Road and Fairgrounds Road the ground is dense hardpan.

We've done excavation and trenching near Tracyton Boulevard for electricians running conduit, waterproofers exposing a foundation, builders who needed a trench on schedule through seeps and springs in the Dyes Inlet bluff. The same care goes into a pit at a leak in copper and poly on 1960s ranch homes on bluff parcels with natural seeps.

How the dig goes

Excavation and trenching here is open the ground with plywood ground protection and, backfill in lifts through clay with groundwater along Tracyton Beach Road on sloped waterfront lots on the inlet, and locates near Tracyton Beach Road before we load the trailer. Nothing is skipped because copper and poly on 1960s ranch homes doesn't forgive shortcuts.

What makes excavation and trenching in Tracyton quick or slow: clay with groundwater along Tracyton Beach Road, mid-size lots on the Tracyton Boulevard grid, fittings failing at the house entry. What doesn't change: plywood ground protection and, bedding gravel, pumps and the mini excavator on the first trip to Central Kitsap High.

We've seen a district bill with no visible cause on bluff parcels with natural seeps near Tracyton Boulevard and groundwater that looks exactly like a break by the boat launch. Both times the line was galvanized on the older waterfront cabins, the ground was till under the Riddell Road grid, and the fix was excavation and trenching done once.
