If you are a Homeowner or business owner, you might have heard about excavation in construction. Excavation is an essential part of any construction project, whether you are building a new house or renovating your existing property.

Excavation is the process of digging or removing earth, rock, or other materials from a construction site. It involves the use of heavy machineries, such as excavators and backhoes, to remove the soil or other materials to create space for a new structure or underground utility lines.

Compaction of soil is the application of mechanical energy to a soil to rearrange the particles and reduce the void ratio and increase soil density. If performed improperly, settlement of the soil could occur and result in unnecessary maintenance costs or structural failure.
