Why Excavation Is Crucial for Construction
Most construction projects require breaking ground as the essential first step. Excavation entails digging to remove soil, rocks and debris to prepare the site for additional work, such as building a foundation.
Proper excavation ensures the prepared ground is stable and secure to accommodate the subsequent construction stages and provide long-term structural support for the building. It also helps to protect workers from collapses, cave-ins and other safety risks while safeguarding the surrounding environment against damage during the project’s execution.
Our Excavation Services for the Construction Industry
We offer a wide assortment of high-quality services for excavation in construction site applications in our New York operating territory.
Site Preparation
Site preparation is the intensive process of transforming raw land into a build-ready site. Our process begins with clearing and grubbing to remove the trees, vegetation and debris, followed by stripping the topsoil and stockpiling it for future use.
Earthmoving
Earthmoving encompasses multiple processes, including digging, loading, unloading and transporting soil, rock and other challenging materials, often in challenging conditions.
Our earthmoving expertise entails using several types of heavy equipment to dig foundations and trenches for pipelines, drainage systems, electrical conduits, basements and more. We also backfill to reclaim the excavated areas.
Demolition
Many construction jobs require demolishing existing structures to prepare for new buildings or extensive renovations. Our team has the equipment, expertise and resources to demolish complete buildings safely and efficiently and remove debris from the area.
Erosion Control
We implement the appropriate measures and practices to minimize and prevent soil erosion during construction work. These steps typically involve erecting barriers or installing drainage systems to manage water flow and mitigate erosion.
Land Clearing
Our excavation process in construction includes clearing all types of land for new construction work, which includes removing trees, brush, rocks and stumps. We can clear parcels of all sizes, types and configurations.
Soil Stabilization
As part of our site preparation services, we can do soil testing and stabilization. We’ll analyze the soil composition at the site and take steps to improve its load-bearing capacity if necessary by adding other materials or via compaction.
