Excavation is no longer just about big machines digging holes—it’s about efficiency, precision, and safety. Thanks to excavation technology advancements, trenching is becoming faster, smarter, and safer than ever before. And companies like Inntelex LLC are leading the charge with cutting-edge trenching solutions that streamline sewer installations and reduce labor-intensive work.
For general contractors and developers, understanding these new technologies is key to staying competitive. So, let’s take a look at how trenching has evolved and why advanced excavation methods are the future of the industry.
Old vs. New: How Trenching Has Changed
The Old Way: Slow, Labor-Intensive, and Costly
Traditional trenching methods relied on basic excavation equipment, large work crews, and a step-by-step approach that took time and manpower:
🔴 Manual trenching – Shovels, pickaxes, and backbreaking labor (thankfully, mostly a thing of the past).
🔴 Basic excavators – Slow-moving machines that require extensive operator skill.
🔴 Multiple steps – Digging, shoring, compacting, and laying pipe all required separate processes.
🔴 High labor costs – More workers were needed for each stage of excavation.
🔴 Safety risks – Manual work in deep trenches led to increased accidents and injuries.
The New Way: Fast, Automated, and Safer
Thanks to efficient trenching solutions, excavation is faster, more precise, and far less labor-intensive than before. Here’s what’s changed:
✅ Automation – Machines now handle multiple tasks at once, from trenching to pipe-laying.
✅ Advanced trenching machines – Equipment like Inntelex’s record-breaking sewer installation system allows for high-speed trenching.
✅ Reduced labor costs – Fewer workers are needed to operate new machines, saving contractors time and money.
✅ Improved safety – New trenching systems reduce manual labor, minimizing the risk of on-site injuries.
✅ Faster completion times – The latest technology cuts excavation times in half, allowing projects to finish on or ahead of schedule.
How Inntelex is Leading the Trenching Revolution
Take Inntelex LLC, for example. They just installed 600 feet of 30-inch sewer pipe in a 15-foot-deep trench—in only 13 hours. Their custom-built trenching and pipe-laying machine is setting records at BZI Innovation Park, proving that advanced sewer installation is the future.
By combining automation, engineering, and real-world experience, Inntelex has developed a game-changing solution that allows for faster and more efficient sewer installations.
What This Means for General Contractors
🔹 Bid on more projects – Faster trenching means you can take on more work.
🔹 Lower labor costs – Fewer workers required = higher profit margins.
🔹 Reduce safety risks – Less manual labor means fewer injuries and accidents.
🔹 Finish projects on time (or faster!) – Avoid costly delays with high-speed excavation.
As Southern Utah continues to grow, excavation technology like Inntelex’s is helping contractors keep up with increasing demand. If you’re still relying on old-school trenching methods, it might be time to upgrade.
