In general, excavation consists of removing debris and dirt from the ground through the use of labor and heavy construction machinery. Some think that there is only one type of excavation company. In fact, many excavation companies specialize in certain forms of excavation. For example, road excavation, house foundation installation, dirt removal, and sewage excavation are some of the specialties. Each specialized excavation company uses certain construction equipment made to assist in a different excavation project. Working for excavation companies can be a lucrative career, but it involves long hours and hard work.
When building the foundation of a house, it is not a simple project but requires specialized training and experience. The excavation companies doing this project are typically general contractors. They understand footer excavation procedures for home types and the fundamentals for basic home design. They require someone to drive the backhoe to excavate the footing of the foundation.
Another type of excavation companies is used to make drainage fields. Drainage fields are sewer lines necessary for the construction of buildings or houses. These require training and knowledge in grading and grading techniques. This training and knowledge is important to make sure the sewer system is draining properly at the home or building construction site.
Designing and building a road is also a specialty. These excavation companies specialize in road development. To prepare and then finish road surfaces, these companies require special construction equipment. They need asphalt machines, heavy loaders, graders, rollers, and more. Specialized experience and training is required to operate this equipment. This is necessary to ensure that the created road surface is level.
Some of these companies are dedicated to cleaning the soil and removing trees. They use heavy machinery to remove logs and shrubs from construction lots for houses and buildings. Most of these companies use dump trucks, backhoes, and loaders to remove debris from the ground. This heavy equipment is used in combination with leveling equipment. This is to keep the ground level after trees and shrubs have been removed.
Excavation companies that are familiar with soil erosion and water drainage techniques would be the company to call if you want a pond built. Most of these ponds use water from nearby streams, so the ponds are better suited for natural habitat. An excavation company would build the pond and then a small ditch for the water from the streams to flow into the man-made ponds.
Some of these companies also diversify into jobs such as laying gas and water pipes. This job uses special equipment to excavate and place long pipe material made of concrete under the ground. Gas and water pipes are generally installed to provide heating and water to suburban towns and cities.
