Are you concerned that the underground portion of your next construction project is too ambitious to become a reality? Let’s talk about the nature of the excavation you need and the best way to complete it safely and within your timeframe.
It’s important to remember that your regular excavation team can only work so quickly without jeopardizing everyone’s safety. When you have multiple projects that all need excavation work completed at the same time, we’re happy to help.
Did you know that a horizontal directional drill can bore approximately 500 feet with accuracy to cross various types of terrain? This method of excavation is often used to avoid damaging the root systems of large trees or other plantings.
A parking lot might only seem like a layer of asphalt over soil, but there’s actually a lot of support and work that goes on underneath the asphalt. Excavation services can help with the initial excavation so you can count on a lot to handle the pressure.
Synthetic swales are shallow excavations designed to catch and hold rainwater and surface runoff. Many modern commercial and housing development projects incorporate this green building concept and feature large-scale swales that conserve and channel water back into the aquifer.
It’s important to remember that there’s more to a durable and safe road than just the pavement. Without planning for adequate drainage, you risk an unsafe road full of potholes.
When digging is involved in any project, it is best to work with us from the beginning. We can help plan and coordinate the fastest and most efficient methods for moving dirt. Once we are done, you can move on with the rest of your project.
In excavation work, fill dirt is typically an earthy material that’s free of organic substances. Excavation contractors use fill dirt to fill in depression and holes in the ground, and to elevate and prepare the ground for construction projects.
Continuous Flight Augering (CFA) is a method used to create concrete piles so excavation can take place nearby. Our professionals use CFA to excavate a hole and inject concrete through a hollow shaft under pressure while we extract the material.
Perhaps the most important part of any construction project is the steps you take to prepare the site. If you need expert assistance, we’re always here to provide the help you need.
Not surprisingly, one of the most common jobs that excavation contractors perform is digging. Often, they are used to dig out foundations and basements, but they also are used to create holes for pools, lakes, or ponds.
There are many ways to do any excavating job- but experts know the best and safest ways. Why not ask them to offer you an estimate for the job you have in mind and see what they may be able to offer?
Have you thought about the possibility of finding rental equipment to use, or the difficulty it might pose to learn to use it? Why not hire someone who already has the know how? A professional excavator can help.
Excavating around existing structures can be tricky, and we use best practices to ensure safety and that no damage occurs to that which is there. This involves identifying clearance areas and obtaining a report from a structural engineer to determine if the dig might affect the structure.
Front end loaders feature a loader that is larger than that of a backhoe, making it much more efficient at grading large areas and thus ideal for landscaping applications. Other names for front end loaders include bucket loader, scoop loaders, and shovels.
Earth excavation, which refers to the removal of the layer of soil immediately beneath the topsoil but above the rock, is usually the layer that requires removal when constructing embankments and foundations.
There are several circumstances in which vacuum excavation processes may become necessary. This includes a situation in which workers need protection from something that’s in the ground or where something in the ground requires protection from the heavy machinery.
Did you know that rock excavation almost always involves drilling and blasting to remove the rock? Essentially, any bolder that’s larger than 1.5 feet classifies as rock and requires this type of removal.
Did you know that excavation contractors are often part of the demolition process if a structure already exists where the construction is to take place? They will typically clear a site of all debris before beginning the digging process.
Tracked excavation equipment is ideal when stability and reliable traction are needed. Track width is also important. When the ground is hard, and maneuverability is needed, narrower tracks are best. For muddy and sloppy conditions, wider tracks can meet the demands.
The "cut and cover” method is a traditional excavation technique widely used for utility installations. An open trench was cut and excavated; the pipe, conduit, or wire was laid; then the trench was filled with rock, sand, and earth to bury essential utilities below ground.
It’s important to remember that knowing how to do a task and being efficient at it aren’t always the same thing. When you need to ensure that your construction project stays on schedule, working with a professional excavation crew can help.
