EXCAVATION explained
Excavation is the process of digging, moving, and removing earth and other materials from a site to create space, form foundations, install utilities (like septic!), or reshape landscapes. This is accomplished with heavy equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, and backhoes.
types of excavation projects we perform
Here are some excavation tasks we specialize in, particularly for septic and pipe installations: foundation excavation, trench excavation for utility lines, earthwork excavation for landscaping, site development excavation, and environmental excavation for pollution remediation. Each job demands precision and expertise for successful completion, especially when it comes to installing septic systems and underground pipes.
excavation timelines to consider
The duration of excavation work can vary widely depending on various factors such as the size and complexity of the project, the type of soil and terrain, weather conditions, and the availability of equipment and labor.
Small excavation projects, such as digging a trench for a utility line, may be completed in a matter of hours or days.
Larger projects, such as foundation excavation for a building or extensive site development, can take weeks or even months to complete.
Additionally, unexpected challenges or delays, such as encountering rocky soil or encountering underground utilities, can prolong the excavation process. It is highly essential to discuss your timeline with our excavation contractors and account for potential delays when planning excavation work.
excavation costs you must know
Excavation costs vary widely depending on several factors, including the size and scope of the project, the type of soil and terrain, the accessibility of the site, the depth of excavation required, and the equipment and labor needed. On average, excavation costs can range from
$1,500 to $5,000 for smaller projects, such as digging a trench or installing a small foundation. For larger projects, such as site grading or extensive earthmoving, costs can range from
$5,000 to $20,000 or more. Other factors such as permits, site preparation, disposal of excavated materials, and any unexpected challenges or delays can impact the overall cost of excavation.
