What Do Excavating Contractor Do?

1. 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: Buildingwork 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. 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.

4. 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.
