What is Excavation?
Excavation is the process of moving earth, rock, or other materials with tools, equipment, or explosives.
It includes earthwork, trenching, wall shafts, tunneling, and underground.
Excavation has a number of important applications including exploration, environmental restoration, mining, and construction.
Among these, construction is one of the most common applications for excavation. Excavation is used in construction to create building foundations, reservoirs, and roads.
Some of the different processes used in excavation include trenching, digging, dredging, and site development.
Each of these processes requires unique techniques, tools, and machinery to get the job done right. The processes used will depend upon the structure that will result from the construction process.

How Does the Excavation Process Work?
Before the excavation and heavy earthworks process can begin, the site must be carefully examined to make sure that the natural habitat and artifacts surrounding it persevered throughout the excavation process.
Next, the plans for the size and depth of the site are made and the excavation contractors make drawings from them to clearly mark the excavation site’s boundaries.
Once these two important steps have been taken, the excavation work can begin.
The entire excavation process includes:
- setting out corner benchmarks
- surveying ground and top levels
- excavation to the approved depth
- dressing the loose soil
- making up to cut off level
- the construction of dewatering wells and interconnecting trenches
- making boundaries of the building
- the construction of protection bunds and drains
Where K&B Brother’s Contractors Excavates?
Excavation construction is used during the construction process of almost every structure.
It is used to build the foundation for the construction of homes, roadways, and buildings and creates reservoirs like lakes and pools that house some of our favorite summer activities.
It is also relied upon for the mining of precious metals and minerals.
Excavation facilitates the construction process and helps our important structures be built to their fullest potential by providing increased control over the job location.
