Excavation

Costly mistakes, building cave-ins, and collapses occur when untrained laborers dig too deep, the shoring is shoddy, measurements are off, or the grading was poorly executed. It's important for you as a general contractor, private developer, or investor to not cut costs when hiring an excavation company as it will only cost you more in the long run.

Excavation is the preliminary step to building a new residential or a commercial property. Various processes are used to move earth, rock, and other materials during the excavation, but it begins with carefully reading plans showing the length, width, and depth for the dig. The operator must prepare the lot for the dig, check top and ground levels, construct trenches, mark boundaries, and shore up the sides if necessary to prepare for a new foundation. Once the necessary soil is removed, the process of backfilling takes place.
