Our process

Walk to restoration in 4 steps

Step 01

Route Walk & 811

Walk the alignment, confirm the 811 ticket, review locates, and identify potholes and crossings before we cut.

Step 02

Trench & Place

Ditch Witch or Vermeer trencher cuts the run at spec depth, then conduit, tracer wire, and warning tape drop in.

Step 03

Backfill & Compact

Backfill in engineered lifts with compaction, keeping cover and bedding to plan for long-term stability.

Step 04

Restore & Close Out

Asphalt, concrete, or landscape restoration, then as-builts and a clean site handoff to the owner.

Why trenching matters

THE RIGHT TRENCH METHOD FOR EVERY ROUTE

Trenching is the workhorse of underground utility construction. On long, open runs, new subdivisions, unimproved corridors, greenfield ISP builds, open-cut trenching moves conduit into the ground faster and cheaper than any other method. The trick is doing it clean: straight lines, spec depth, proper bedding, tracer wire, and backfill that won't settle two years later.

Fampa Construction runs Ditch Witch and Vermeer trenchers with AZ ROC #339873 licensed operators, and we pair open-cut trenching with microtrenching for ROW work where restoration cost is the real budget driver. Microtrenching lets ISPs get fiber into improved roadways with a narrow saw-cut slot, minimal disruption, and sealant restoration that keeps municipalities happy.

From Phoenix metro subdivisions to rural Arizona backbone routes, we scope trench work end-to-end: 811, potholing, trenching, conduit placement, backfill, compaction, and surface restoration, all under one licensed contractor with the trucks, iron, and paperwork to prove it.
