What Do Excavating Contractors Do?
Are you wondering why you need to hire
professional excavation contractors for your
project?
2
1. Excavating contractors clear construction
sites
Building work starts with clearing the site of
anything and everything that is in the way of the
building project! If necessary old buildings are
knocked down, old foundations dug up, trees cut
down and tree roots dug up. All the debris is
removed and the site leveled ready to excavate
the foundation.
2. Excavating contractors dig the foundation
The excavating contractor will interpret the site
plans and excavate the ground to allow the
foundation forms to be installed and the
foundation to be poured exactly where and how it
is detailed on the plans. It is the excavation
contractors job to make sure that the excavation
crew dig the trenches and hole for the foundation
in the correct place so the foundation and
basement can be poured correctly. After the
foundation is poured, sets and passes inspection
the excavation contractor backfills around the
new foundation and building work can begin.

3. Excavating contractors operate heavy equipment
Heavy equipment operators are experts at
operating heavy earth moving equipment. It
requires a lot of skill, training and experience
to operate heavy equipment like bulldozers,
cranes, graders, rollers, front end loaders,
pumps and compressors properly. Using such
equipment without the right training can be
disastrous. It is essential to hire skilled heavy
equipment operators to execute site clearing and
foundation preparation.
4. Excavating contractors build new and
refurbished driveways
Excavating contractors prepare the ground for new
and refurbished driveways. This may be as simple
as grading the surface material and putting down
the foundation layers before the finish is laid.
Or it may involve removing trees, roots,
boulders, and bed rock to provide a suitable
gradient before the foundation layers can be put
down. Either way using a excavation contractor
who not only understands what needs to be done,
but can operate the heavy equipment necessary to
do the work properly, is essential. After the
foundation is laid the finishing material needs
to be installed which can range from loose stone,
to paving stone or tarmac. An experienced
driveway construction team understands all that
needs to be done, and will execute it perfectly.

5. Excavating contractors prepare for septic
system Installations
Most excavating contractors can prepare the
ground for a new septic system but not all can
install a septic system. Special licenses and
training is required to install a new septic
system. It is very important that a septic system
is installed correctly the first time, repairing
a malfunctioning or failed septic system is
costly and difficult. Septic systems should only
be installed by qualified, experienced and
licensed professionals. Make sure that the
company installing your septic system has the
necessary experience, qualifications and licenses
in place.
6. Excavating contractors manage their excavation
business
Excavation contractors are required to follow
safe on-site job practices required by the
Occupational and Safety Hazard Association. Most
States prefer that excavation contractors are
licensed and bonded in being so they are
considered to be more experienced and carry the
necessary liability insurance coverage for the
work they do, their employees and their clients.
Excavation contractors ensure that work done
follows all regulatory and code requirements.
