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.

Do I need a permit for excavation?

Excavation permits are often required, especially for larger projects or those involving utility lines. Permits ensure the work is performed safely and complies with local regulations. Your excavation contractor can usually handle permit applications, but it's essential to confirm this and ensure they obtain the necessary permits before starting work.

How deep can an excavator dig?

The digging depth of an excavator varies depending on the size and type of the machine. Compact excavators typically have a digging depth of around 8-12 feet, while larger excavators can dig to depths of 20 feet or more. The soil type and conditions can also affect the maximum digging depth.

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.

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.
