Professional Excavations Undertaken at Competitive Rates

In many building projects in Dorset and beyond, excavations work is often a necessary part of the preparation of the site being developed. The job entails the removal of earth and other materials in order to create the cavities in the ground needed to install foundations for new buildings, for instance. Health and Safety considerations are paramount.

Why Expertise in Excavations Is Essential

Excavation may also need to take place for pipes and cables to be laid, for manholes to be inserted or for small retaining walls, for example. Rather than just ‘digging a hole’, it’s a skilled job that needs careful planning to avoid accidents at the time or in the future. Considerations include ensuring that the ground surrounding the excavation doesn’t collapse by supporting and shoring it up as work progresses. The excavation must also be protected for the duration of its exposure with suitable barriers, so people, machinery or materials don’t fall in. It’s also vital to make certain that buildings in close proximity aren’t undermined or put at risk by the work being carried out.

For these reasons and more, if you need excavations on your property, whether that’s a private or commercial project, it’s important you hire the right expertise for the job.
