If you are planning a large-scale residential or commercial construction project, you will likely need excavation equipment. Excavators of varying sizes are often used for digging, but can be used in a number of other ways ideal for many project types. Discover some of the jobs that could benefit from excavation equipment.

What Projects Need Excavation Equipment?

  • excavationPlumbing Installations: The trenches necessary for most commercial and residential plumbing installations call for excavation equipment. Excavators can properly size trenches for safe and effective pipe installations.

  • Landscaping: Landscaping projects that need flat ground can use excavators to quickly remove small hills or other mounds of earth. Building houses and commercial structures requires flattening capabilities as well to create stable foundations.

  • Septic System Installations: As with piping, septic tank installations are faster with excavation equipment. An excavator can dig out enough space and depth for a tank to avoid it cracking in the future.

  • River Dredging: River dredging with excavation equipment removes excess silt, clearing passageways for boats and improving aquatic environments. Excavators are also used to restore public and private reservoirs and lakes.

  • Forestry Projects: Excavation equipment can streamline forestry projects that include removing hazardous trees and general land management. Most excavators double as power shovels, which are useful for getting rid of large, unwanted brush and trees.

  • Demolition. When demolishing residential and commercial buildings, always include onsite excavators to remove the resulting rubble for proper disposal. Excavation equipment may also be necessary for new building foundations.

Other common projects that use excavation equipment include snow removal and open-pit mining. Small or “mini” excavators are operable in tightly-spaced areas; however, they cannot handle the debris or soil quantity their larger counterparts do.
