Working on sloping ground

Ground that rises and falls affects underground work in practical ways, and it is worth describing in a request. Gravity sewer and storm lines must keep a continuous downhill grade, so on uneven ground their depth changes along the route and some sections run deeper than others. Pressure lines such as water mains and force mains can follow the ground more freely, but high and low points along them may need valves or fittings as the specification requires. Trenches on a slope need care with spoil, drainage and access for equipment.

Directional drilling has its own considerations on uneven ground: the bore path is planned in three dimensions, with entry and exit points chosen so that the rig can set up safely and the pipe stays at the required depth along the way.

None of this is a reason to avoid the work; it is part of planning it. For a Clermont job, we ask about the lay of the land along with the line, the route and the surface.

We work for homeowners, builders, developers, businesses and public owners.
