When it comes to underground infrastructure, timing is everything — especially when winter’s on the clock. In Bishop, California, we were called in during mid-November to trench for underslab sewer lines for a new ground-up hotel development. With snow just around the corner and project deadlines looming, there was no room for delays.
Working quickly but precisely, our team arrived ready to move — bringing in our modern equipment and experienced operators to dig clean trenches through tough, cold conditions. The goal? To get those sewer lines installed before winter slowed everything down. Every cut had to be accurate, every placement perfect — because there was no going back once the frost set in.
We coordinated closely with the general contractor and engineering team to ensure alignment on depth, pitch, and pipe layout so the system would function flawlessly for years to come. With Bishop’s unique climate and terrain challenges, we made sure each trench was dug to spec, properly bedded, and ready for pipe installation — all while keeping the job moving fast without sacrificing quality.
This project is a great example of how Harris Excavation steps up when conditions get tough. Whether you’re working in the high desert or on mountain-adjacent builds like this one in Bishop, we bring the same commitment: clear communication, reliable equipment, and a team that knows how to finish strong — even as the snow rolls in.
