Excavation is the process of removing soil and debris from the ground through the use of heavy construction equipment and manual labor. There are many types of excavation companies that specialize in specific types of excavation. Some examples include earth removal, road excavation, culvert excavation, and home foundation installation. Each type of company uses specific construction equipment that is designed to support a specific excavation project.
Some companies specialize in tree removal.
Building a base of operations is a complex operation that requires specialized training and experience. Excavation companies that work on foundation construction are usually general contractors. These teams understand the basics of basic home design and the baseboard excavation procedures required for specific types of homes. This type of excavation requires a backhoe to excavate the baseboards.
Excavation requires the use of heavy construction equipment and labor.
Drainfields are another specialty of excavation companies. These are the necessary sewer lines for the construction of houses or buildings. Excavation of drainage fields requires knowledge and training in grading and slope techniques. This is necessary to ensure that the sewer system drains properly on the construction lot.
Designing and building roads is another example of excavation. Several excavation companies specialize in road development. These companies require special construction equipment to prepare and finish road surfaces. Some examples include graders, rollers, asphalt machines, and heavy loaders. Each piece of equipment requires specific training and experience, which must be used to ensure a level road surface is created.

Many excavation companies specialize in tree removal and land clearing activities. It is a form of excavation that uses heavy equipment to remove brush and logs from subdivisions. Most land clearing companies use loaders, dump trucks, and backhoes to remove debris from the ground. They use this heavy equipment in conjunction with grading equipment to level the ground after removing the trees.
Building a tank also requires excavation equipment. This is normally done by companies familiar with soil erosion and water drainage techniques. Most man-made lakes use water from nearby streams, making them more suitable for natural habitat. The excavation company will usually build a small ditch to draw water from the streams into the pond.
Laying water and gas pipes is another type of work that an excavation company does. This requires special equipment designed to excavate and place concrete pipe material underground. Water and gas pipes are usually installed to serve most cities and suburban towns. This type of excavation provides heat and water to many families around the world.
