Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Need help with an excavation project? Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation services in UK.

How do you excavate for a basement?

Excavating for a basement involves these steps:
  1. Marking the Perimeter: The basement area is accurately marked out.
  2. Topsoil Removal: The topsoil is carefully removed and set aside for later use.
  3. Excavation: An excavator digs to the required depth, removing soil in a controlled manner.
  4. Foundation Preparation: The excavated area is leveled and prepared for the foundation to be poured.
  5. Safety is paramount during basement excavation. Proper shoring or sloping techniques are crucial to prevent trench collapses.

How do I prevent erosion after excavation?

After excavation, erosion control measures are essential to prevent soil loss and water runoff. Common methods include:
  • Seeding and Mulching: Planting grass or other vegetation and covering the bare soil with mulch helps stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
  • Erosion Control Blankets: These biodegradable blankets are made from natural or synthetic fibers and placed over the soil to prevent erosion while vegetation establishes.
  • Silt Fences: Temporary fences installed along the perimeter of the excavation site to trap sediment and prevent it from entering nearby water bodies.
  • Retaining Walls: Used to hold back soil and prevent erosion on slopes.
  • Drainage Systems: Proper drainage systems can direct water away from the excavated area, preventing erosion and pooling.

What type of excavator do I need?

The type of excavator best suited for your project depends on the scope of the work:
  • Compact Excavators: Ideal for smaller residential projects, landscaping, and work in confined spaces.
  • Standard Excavators: Versatile machines for a wide range of projects, including digging foundations, trenching, and loading materials.
  • Large Excavators: Used for heavy-duty excavation, demolition, and large-scale construction projects.
  • Long-Reach Excavators: Designed for demolition and excavation in hard-to-reach areas, such as tall buildings or deep trenches.
An experienced excavation contractor can help determine the most appropriate excavator for your specific needs.

What is shoring in excavation?

Shoring refers to the temporary supports used to stabilize the walls of an excavation and prevent collapses. Common shoring methods include timber planks, hydraulic systems, and trench boxes. Shoring is essential for worker safety, especially in deep trenches.
