Why hire excavation services in Norfolk?
Before you start any building project, you need to prepare the site. More often than not, this involves doing the necessary groundwork for foundations to be laid. On some occasions, more serious excavation services are needed, for example, if you’re working in specific environments or building underground levels such as basements or car parks.
Of course, this generally means digging and moving huge amounts of earth, which simply would not be possible by hand – or at least it would slow down your project by weeks or even months. Whether you’re levelling or grading, clearing land, trenching or generally preparing the site for building, you need specialist excavation companies to help you get the job off to a good start.
What do excavators do?
The bread and butter of any excavation project is digging. But this is not the kind of digging you do with a shovel and a wheelbarrow. This will involve specialist heavy machinery that is capable of moving a large amount of earth in a short period of time.
However, just because large amounts of materials are being moved, doesn’t mean there can be any compromise in terms of accuracy. When digging foundations, the excavation needs to be precise, and that’s why all our excavation contractors are highly trained, qualified and experienced.
The groundwork sets the tone for the rest of the job and if they’re out by even a small degree, this can really hold things up down the line.
Different types of excavation
Groundworks also occasionally have to be very delicate. This is especially true when conducting exploratory work before the main excavation starts and is necessary when searching sites for any unmarked gas, electricity or water infrastructure which might be lurking under the ground. It is also required when the site might have some artefacts of historical importance which can’t be damaged.
For these reasons, excavation specialists need to be highly trained in all forms of the work. It all has to be carried out with safety at the forefront of everything, ensuring that everyone working on site complies with regulations and good working practices.
