FAQ's About Commercial Excavation

  • How much does commercial excavating cost?

    Commercial excavation services can vary greatly in cost, depending on a number of factors and variables. The size of the project is one of the most important factors, as larger excavations will typically cost more than smaller ones.


    The type of material being excavated can also affect the cost, as some materials are more difficult to dig through than others.


    The location of the excavation site is another important factor, as sites that are difficult to access may require special equipment or additional labor, leading to higher costs.


    Finally, the time frame for the project can also affect the cost, as projects that need to be completed quickly may incur additional charges.

  • What is commercial excavation exactly, and how is it different from digging for residential properties?

    Excavation is the process of moving earth, rocks, or other materials using heavy machinery. It is often used to create foundations for buildings or roads, or to prepare land for construction. Commercial excavation refers to excavation projects that are undertaken for business or industrial purposes.


    These projects can be large in scale, and may require the use of specialized equipment. In contrast, excavation for residential properties is typically smaller in scope and can be done by hand.


    Whether commercial or residential, excavation is a crucial step in many construction projects.

  • How will soil composition affect deadlines, drainage and cost?

    The composition of soil will affect various features of the construction process. The three main features are deadlines, drainage and cost.


    Different types of soil will have different effects on these features. For example, sandy soil drains quickly and is easy to work with, so it will not delay construction deadlines.


    However, it is not as strong as other types of soil, so it may require extra reinforcement. This can increase the overall cost of the project.


    Clay soil, on the other hand, drains slowly and is very dense. This can cause delays in construction as workers wait for the clay to dry out enough to be worked with.


    In addition, the slow drainage can lead to problems with water build-up if proper drainage systems are not installed.

  • What are the types of excavation work?

    Excavation work can be divided into two main types: trenching and bulk excavation. Trenching is the process of digging a narrow, deep hole in the ground, typically for the purpose of installing pipes or other utilities.


    Bulk excavation, on the other hand, is the process of removing large quantities of earth from a construction site. Bulk excavation is often done in preparation for building foundation work or to create lakes and ponds.


    Excavation work can be very dangerous, so it is important to follow safety protocols and use proper equipment when performing excavations.

  • What do dirt contractors do with the earth after trenching?

    After a trench has been dug, the dirt that is excavated must be removed from the site. This is typically done by a dirt contractor.


    The contractor will bring in a dump truck and load it with the excavated earth. Once the truck is full, it will be driven to a landfill or other disposal site.


    In some cases, the excavated earth may be used to fill in another trench that has already been dug. However, this is less common, as it can lead to problems with compaction.
