Trenching for Pipelines

GAVCO is an area leader in laying oil and gas pipelines through even the most difficult of terrains. Our equipment includes wheel trenchers and backhoes for soil as well as chain trenchers for rock. In most cases, there is no need to reroute a pipeline due to geography once you’ve planned your route. You can rest assured that Melgaard Construction can pave the way.

Installation & Testing Pipelines

Once the pipe is welded, experienced operators carefully work in sync to gently lay the pipe into the trench, which our crews have bedded with soft dirt or sand. We work carefully to ensure that the bedding material and the backfill that will surround the pipe conform to the highest quality standards. This includes evaluating the soil for proper composition and rejecting subsoil with large rocks, or high concentrations of clay or organic material. When the proper soil is not available, Melgaard Construction can provide sand and subsoil for proper pipe installation. After the pipeline, has been laid and the line has been backfilled, Melgaard Construction will oversee the testing of the line.
