Site Preparation and Earthworks

Excavation Planned Around Your Project Requirements

Excavation prepares land for foundations, utilities, infrastructure and other construction activities. The required depth, soil conditions, access and surrounding structures affect how the work should be planned.

Before excavation begins, the project team should review available drawings, establish the required excavation levels, identify underground utilities and determine whether additional ground support or dewatering arrangements may be needed.

  • Review of drawings, levels and site access
  • Identification of known underground utilities
  • Selection of suitable machinery and excavation methods
  • Planning for soil loading and transportation
  • Coordination of required backfilling and site grading

Site conditions, access and required excavation levels should be reviewed before work starts.
