Excavation
Road Opening Permits
(908) 332-8548
Are you ready to connect your property to a public street, but terrified of the township red tape? Anytime an excavator cuts, bores, or tunnels into a public road, Bridgewater requires a mandatory Road Opening Permit. We take the massive headache out of dealing with the local Engineering Department. From pulling the initial permit to flawlessly paving the street, we handle every single step so your project stays totally safe, on time, and perfectly legal!
Handling the Heavy Fees
Tearing up a Bridgewater street comes with serious financial rules! The township requires a $200 non-refundable application fee and a minimum $500 inspection deposit before a single shovel hits the dirt. Plus, they hold a minimum $500 maintenance surety in escrow for one full calendar year after the work is done to guarantee the road does not sink. We expertly guide you through these complicated township costs to keep your budget perfectly on track.
Beating the Seven-Year Paving Rule
Why do storm inlets collapse in the first place? Over time, heavy traffic and harsh winter freeze-thaw cycles crush the concrete blocks buried beneath the steel grate. We do not just slap a cheap, temporary patch on top! We bring in our heavy machinery to safely dig out the crumbling, sinking debris. Then, we expertly rebuild the interior blocks to create a rock-solid basin. Finally, we repave and perfectly pitch the surrounding asphalt so heavy stormwater flows straight down the drain without destroying your pavement.
Fast, Flawless, and Fully Compliant
A gaping hole in the street is a massive neighborhood hazard! Because safety is our top priority, we strictly follow Bridgewater's rule that street trenches cannot stay open for more than 72 hours without a declared emergency. We also use precision digging to keep standard utility cuts to a maximum of 30 inches wide, exactly as the township demands. Stop sweating the street rules, and pick up the phone to call us today for a seamless, legal connection!
