An excavation contractor does
not just haul dirt.
An excavation contractor will
prepare your site for a new home or building to be built by a building
contractor. An excavation contractor will also prepare your site for a
driveway. Excavation is used in construction to create reservoirs and roads.
Site preparation can involve demolition or wrecking of buildings or structures.
Site preparation can include blasting, leveling out the land by moving dirt,
hauling dirt, test drilling, landfill, levelling, excavating, making sure the
land has the proper drainage. Excavation companies do operate some very large
pieces of heavy equipment.
Some equipment used by an
excavator contractor include:
A grader is a heavy
construction piece used to smooth and flatten a surface for roads or building
foundations.
A crawler loader is a cross
between an excavator and a backhoe or bucket loader. The tracks on this piece
of equipment give it stability and its versatile bucket make it useful for
moving soil and debris and for loading material onto trucks.
Dump trucks, backhoes, front
loader, trenchers, cranes, loaders, bull dozers and backhoes are all used as
earth moving equipment.
