Standard pipeline construction using open cut methods is standard practice, but still a challenge if ground conditions are poor, if there are multiple utility lines in the easement area either running with or crossing the new pipe, or if the depth of cut is greater than 15 feet.
BRH-Garver uses trench box shoring in confined areas and tiered ditching where possible in open areas.
