Data Center Utility Trenching Contractor in Ithaca, NY

Data Center Utility Trenching in Ithaca

A data center site has more underground utilities than most office campuses combined. Backwell handles utility trenching in Ithaca for water, sewer, gas, storm, and electrical duct, working to the civil and MEP drawings and pressure-testing every line before backfill.

Utility trenching in Ithaca is sequenced with the site civil schedule. We excavate to depth with proper shoring, place bedding to spec, lay pipe with the right joint type, backfill the pipe zone with controlled material, and pressure or hydrostatic test before final backfill. Documentation goes to the GC for the as-built package.
